Is sba & term loans a good fit for aerospace & defense manufacturing?

Yes — sba & term loans is one of the programs we most commonly place for aerospace & defense manufacturing shops. Established manufacturers financing acquisitions, real estate, expansion, or refinancing higher-cost debt.

How fast can a aerospace & defense manufacturing 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 aerospace & defense manufacturing 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 government receivables be factored?

Yes. Government contract factoring requires partners familiar with the Assignment of Claims Act (31 U.S.C. §3727 and FAR 32.8). We match you with lenders that regularly handle prime and sub-prime defense receivables so the paperwork is routine.

Do you work with AS9100 and ITAR-registered shops?

Yes. AS9100 registration and ITAR handling are standard for aerospace and defense suppliers we work with. Lenders understand controlled tech data, US-person requirements, and export-controlled inventory.

How long does an SBA loan take?

SBA loans typically take 60–120 days from complete application to funding. We help you assemble a clean package up front to keep the timeline as short as possible.

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.
