Equipment Financing for Battery & Energy Storage Manufacturing shops
Add capacity without draining cash. Our team looks for a funding partner with a equipment financing structure that fits how you actually run. No equity given up, and no application, origination, or closing fees to you.
Why battery & energy storage manufacturing shops choose equipment financing
Whether you're building cells, assembling packs, or integrating a battery energy storage system for a utility or commercial site, the pattern is the same: lithium, cathode material, BMS electronics, and enclosures all get paid for up front, often with supplier prepayments, while your customer sits on a milestone-based payment schedule tied to commissioning.
UL 9540A large-scale fire testing, UN38.3 transport certification, and interconnection approvals all add time and cost before you see final payment, and utilities and EPCs are not fast payers even after acceptance. That squeeze between cell prepayment and final commissioning check is where most storage manufacturers get stuck.
Equipment Financing is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Finance new or used machinery, CNC, robotics, and production lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — equipment financing is one of the programs we most commonly place for battery & energy storage manufacturing shops. Manufacturers buying or replacing machinery, tooling, automation, or vehicles used in production. Full mechanics: the Equipment Financing program page. Sector overview: Battery & Energy Storage Manufacturing.
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. In most states, funding partners pay us when an account funds or activates; in California and Missouri they instead pay a fixed fee per inquiry, whether or not you are funded. Either way, you pay us nothing.
No. Every program we refer is non-dilutive. You keep 100% ownership of your shop.
Yes. Purchase order financing can cover supplier prepayments for lithium, cathode material, and cells when tied to a confirmed customer order, so you're not funding raw material buys entirely out of pocket.
Factoring and asset-based lending can advance against milestone invoices as they're issued, rather than waiting for full commissioning and utility or EPC sign-off before any cash comes in.
Yes. Many partners finance used equipment, including private-party purchases, though rates and terms depend on the age and condition of the asset.
