Explore funding for work you've already delivered. Our team looks for a funding partner with a invoice factoring structure that fits how you actually run. No equity given up, and no application, origination, or closing fees to you.
Why jewelry, hardgoods & metal finishing shops choose invoice factoring
Every casting, plating tank, and polishing wheel in your shop represents cash you've already spent — gold and silver on account or consigned from a refiner, nickel and chrome plating chemistry, cyanide-based gold baths, powder coat and anodizing lines that cost real money to run compliant. Then a retailer, distributor, or OEM customer takes 45 or 60 days to pay for finished goods.
If you run a finishing or plating operation as a jobber for other manufacturers, you're floating chemical and labor costs on other people's parts, sometimes for weeks, before the invoice even goes out. Add in EPA and RCRA wastewater permitting, tank maintenance, and effluent testing, and the margin between what you spend and what you collect gets thin fast.
Invoice Factoring is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Explore turning unpaid invoices into working capital instead of waiting on net-60 or net-90.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — invoice factoring is one of the programs we most commonly place for jewelry, hardgoods & metal finishing 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.

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. In most states, funding partners pay us when an account funds or activates; in California and Missouri they instead pay a fixed fee per inquiry, whether or not you are funded. Either way, you pay us nothing.
No. Every program we refer is non-dilutive. You keep 100% ownership of your shop.
Yes. Asset-based lending facilities commonly advance against gold, silver, and platinum inventory alongside finished goods and receivables, with advance rates tied to current metal value and liquidity rather than book cost.
Consigned metal itself typically isn't collateral since you don't own it outright, but the finished inventory and receivables generated from consigned production can still support an ABL or factoring facility.
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.
