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 foundry, castings & primary metals shops choose sba & term loans
You're pricing a casting job against scrap steel or aluminum ingot prices that moved twice this week, running a cupola or induction furnace that eats electricity around the clock, and shipping finished parts to an automotive or ag OEM that pays net-60 without apology.
That's the foundry business: capital-intensive, cyclical, and squeezed on both ends. A big order from a Tier 1 automotive supplier or an ag equipment OEM should be good news — and it is, once you can fund the scrap buy, the melt, and the pattern or tooling work to get there.
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.

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. A working capital line or asset-based facility secured by inventory and receivables can absorb a scrap steel or aluminum price jump so a melt campaign isn't delayed while pricing settles.
Yes. Automotive and Tier 1 supplier receivables are common collateral for factoring and ABL, since the underlying payer credit is typically strong even when payment terms run 60–90 days.
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.
