Is equipment financing a good fit for sporting goods & outdoor equipment manufacturing?

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

Do I have to give up equity?

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

Can a fitness equipment or bicycle manufacturer qualify for factoring?

Yes. Advance rates depend on your retailer or distributor customer's credit, not your plant size. A builder invoicing a big-box retailer typically factors as cleanly as a large OEM.

Can PO financing cover steel, tubing, and component buys?

Yes. PO financing pays your material and component suppliers directly against confirmed orders so the line keeps fed through seasonal ramps.

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 sporting goods & outdoor equipment manufacturing shops choose equipment financing

You're building fitness equipment, camping and outdoor gear, team sports goods, or bicycles against a seasonal retail and back-to-school calendar. Steel, tubing, fabric, and components are bought in volume, then shipped to big-box and sporting-goods retailers who pay 60 days or more after shipment.

Seasonality sharpens it — you build ahead of spring, summer, and holiday demand, fronting material and labor cost months before the retailer sells through and pays. Chargebacks and compliance deductions quietly nibble the advance.

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