Is equipment financing a good fit for precision machining & machine shops?

Yes — equipment financing is one of the programs we most commonly place for precision machining & machine shops shops. Manufacturers buying or replacing machinery, tooling, automation, or vehicles used in production.

How fast can a precision machining & machine shops shop get funded?

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.

Do you charge precision machining & machine shops manufacturers any fees?

No. We are a business consulting service and are not paid by you. Our funding partners compensate us only after a referred manufacturer actually receives their funds.

Do I have to give up equity?

No. Every program we place is non-dilutive. You keep 100% ownership of your shop.

Can a small CNC job shop qualify for factoring?

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.

Do factors work with aerospace and medical primes on long terms?

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.

Can I finance used equipment?

Yes. Many partners finance used equipment, including private-party purchases, though rates and terms depend on the age and condition of the asset.

Why precision machining & machine shops shops choose equipment financing

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.

Equipment Financing is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Finance new or used machinery, CNC, robotics, and production lines.
