Do you place equipment financing for manufacturers in Chicago, IL?

Yes. Equipment Financing is one of the most common programs we place for Chicago-area manufacturers. Manufacturers buying or replacing machinery, tooling, automation, or vehicles used in production.

How fast can a Chicago manufacturer get equipment financing funded?

Timelines depend on the program. For equipment financing, most Chicago-area shops go from Quick App to first funding in the range shown in the structure table on this page. The gate is usually document turnaround on your side, not underwriting.

Do I need to be a big shop to qualify in Illinois?

No. We place equipment financing for shops from single-owner fabricators up through $100M+ manufacturers. What matters is the revenue profile, customer credit, and the fit of the program to how you actually operate.

Are there any fees to work with Manufactor Finance?

No application, origination, or closing fees to you. We're a business consulting service — funding partners fairly compensate us for our part only after you actually receive your funds, and nothing additional is required from you.

Do I have to give up equity to get equipment financing?

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

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.

Do you finance soft costs like installation and freight?

Often yes—soft costs like delivery, rigging, install, and training can frequently be rolled into the financed amount.
