Invoice Factoring for Industrial Machinery & Equipment shops
Get paid now for work you've already delivered. We match industrial machinery & equipment manufacturers with the invoice factoring structure that fits how you actually run — no equity given up, no application, origination, or closing fees to you.
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

Frequently Asked Questions
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. Full mechanics: the Invoice Factoring program page. Sector overview: Industrial Machinery & Equipment.
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. Our funding partners compensate us only after a referred manufacturer actually receives their funds.
No. Every program we refer is non-dilutive. You keep 100% ownership of your shop.
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.
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.
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.
- Underwriting focuses on your customers' credit and payment history, not yours.
- Challenged personal credit, thin files, and past bankruptcies can still qualify.
- You need B2B or B2G invoices on net-15 to net-90 terms.
- Baseline volume is about $25K or more in monthly revenue.
- Not sure your file clears it? Score your readiness first.
