Asset-Based Lending (ABL) for Precision Machining & Machine Shops shops
Borrow against what you already own. We match precision machining & machine shops manufacturers with the asset-based lending (abl) structure that fits how you actually run — no equity given up, no application, origination, or closing fees to you.
Why precision machining & machine shops shops choose asset-based lending (abl)
You're running CNC mills, lathes, Swiss turns, and grinders against OEM and tier-supplier POs. You buy bar stock, tooling, and inserts on your dime, run the parts, and ship to customers — aerospace, medical, automotive, defense — who pay 45, 60, sometimes 90 days later.
It's a job-shop cash cycle: every new PO is a material buy and a tooling spend before the first chip flies, and your biggest customers are often the slowest payers. One aerospace or medical prime can dominate your book for a quarter.
Asset-Based Lending (ABL) is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Revolving lines secured by receivables, inventory, and equipment.

It depends on the program. Factoring often funds within days of account setup; equipment and working capital usually run days to a couple of weeks; SBA and larger term loans take longer. We tell you the real timeline up front.
No. We are an independent business financing referral service and are not paid by you. Our funding partners compensate us only after a referred manufacturer actually receives their funds.
No. Every program we refer is non-dilutive. You keep 100% ownership of your shop.
Yes. Advance rates depend on your customer's credit, not your shop size. A 10-spindle job shop invoicing a tier supplier or prime typically factors as cleanly as a large machining center.
Yes. Primes on net-60 to net-90 are common factoring customers — the factor underwrites the prime's credit and structures the advance around their payment cycle.
ABL is a revolving line you draw against; factoring is the outright sale of specific invoices. ABL usually has lower cost of capital but stricter eligibility and monthly reporting requirements.
