Working Capital for Precision Machining & Machine Shops shops

Cover the gap between orders and cash. We match precision machining & machine shops manufacturers with the working capital structure that fits how you actually run — no equity given up, no application, origination, or closing fees to you.

Why precision machining & machine shops shops choose working capital

You're running CNC mills, lathes, Swiss turns, and grinders against OEM and tier-supplier POs. You buy bar stock, tooling, and inserts on your dime, run the parts, and ship to customers — aerospace, medical, automotive, defense — who pay 45, 60, sometimes 90 days later.

It's a job-shop cash cycle: every new PO is a material buy and a tooling spend before the first chip flies, and your biggest customers are often the slowest payers. One aerospace or medical prime can dominate your book for a quarter.

Working Capital is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Short-term capital to bridge payroll, materials, and growth spikes.
