Manufacturing financing may be equipment-backed, revenue-based, or structured for working capital. The machinery or production equipment often serves as collateral, which may allow lenders to consider deals that unsecured programs would decline. A broker or vendor with a signed referral agreement submits the deal. The financing partner evaluates and may match it to lenders with manufacturing programs.
Deals are reviewed based on equipment type, value, revenue, time in business, and credit. What one lender declines, another may consider. Vendors can learn how vendors get paid for referring financing when deals close. Compensation is revenue share on successful placement.
