Is invoice factoring a good fit for industrial machinery & equipment?

Yes — invoice factoring is one of the programs we most commonly place for industrial machinery & equipment shops. Manufacturers with creditworthy commercial or government customers that pay on net-30, net-60, or net-90 terms.

How fast can a industrial machinery & equipment 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 industrial machinery & equipment 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 machine builders factor milestone or progress invoices?

Yes. Progress and milestone invoices factor well when the billing terms are clearly documented in the PO or contract. Factors experienced in capital equipment expect milestone billing and structure advances around it.

How is retainage handled on capital equipment jobs?

Retainage — commonly 5–10% held until acceptance — is typically excluded from the factored advance and released once the customer pays. It's a normal structure and doesn't kill the deal.

Do I need great personal credit to factor invoices?

Not usually. Factoring underwriting weighs the credit of the customers who owe you money much more heavily than your personal credit. Manufacturers with challenged credit are often still approved.

Why industrial machinery & equipment shops choose invoice factoring

You quote a six- or nine-month build, take a deposit, and immediately start writing checks — steel, castings, servo motors, PLCs, hydraulics, machined parts from the vendor across town. Progress payments help, but they never quite line up with when your suppliers want to be paid.

Then the machine ships, runs FAT, and your customer still holds retainage for another 30–60 days after acceptance. Meanwhile the next unit is already on the floor and you're doing it all again.

Invoice Factoring is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Turn unpaid invoices into cash today—stop waiting on net-60 or net-90.

What industrial machinery & equipment shops get

Cash within days instead of 30–90 days
Line grows with your sales—no fixed cap
Underwriting focuses on your customers' credit, not just yours
Frees up working capital for materials, payroll, and new orders

How it works

1You invoice your customer as usual after delivery.
2The factoring partner advances a large percentage of that invoice (often 80–95%) within days.
3Your customer pays the factor directly on their normal terms.
4You receive the remaining balance, less a small factoring fee.

Cash-flow realities we see in industrial machinery & equipment

Long build cycles between deposit and final payment
Milestone and progress billing that lags supplier terms
Retainage held 30–60+ days after acceptance and FAT
Large sub-assembly and long-lead component POs (motors, drives, castings, controls)
Own-shop capex — CNC, waterjet, welding, paint booth — to keep up with backlog
