SBA & Term Loans for Aerospace & Defense Manufacturing shops
Bigger projects. Longer terms. Our team looks for a funding partner with a sba & term loans structure that fits how you actually run. No equity given up, and no application, origination, or closing fees to you.
Why aerospace & defense manufacturing shops choose sba & term loans
You're on a Boeing, Lockheed, RTX, or Northrop program. Or maybe you're a Tier-3 machine shop feeding a Tier-1 you can barely pronounce. Either way, the money is real, the paperwork is thick, and the cash cycle is brutal.
AS9100 audits, ITAR handling, DFARS, source substantiation, first-article inspection — you carry all of that plus long lead-time titanium, Inconel, or aluminum, and then wait on prime-contractor payment cycles that don't care about your payroll date.
SBA & Term Loans is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Longer-term, lower-cost capital for growth, real estate, or acquisitions.
