In detail

Manufacturing Equipment Financing: when it matters most

Manufacturing equipment financing is strongest when a manufacturer needs to add production capacity, replace aging machinery to reduce downtime, or upgrade to more efficient equipment to win new contracts. Equipment financing for manufacturers preserves cash flow for the inputs that keep the shop running — materials, labor, and overhead.

In detail

Manufacturing Equipment Financing: what to compare before you choose

Manufacturers should compare equipment financing against equipment leasing, SBA 7(a) loans, and working capital lines of credit. Equipment financing is typically the best structure for major machinery purchases (CNC machines, presses, robots) because the useful life is long, the collateral value is clear, and the terms can match the machine's revenue contribution period.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What manufacturing equipment can be financed?

Manufacturing equipment financing covers CNC machining centers, lathes, milling machines, hydraulic and pneumatic presses, laser cutters, plasma cutters, welding equipment, industrial robots, conveyor systems, injection molding machines, packaging equipment, and all industrial manufacturing machinery — new or used.

Can small manufacturers get equipment financing?

Yes. Manufacturing equipment financing is available for small and mid-sized manufacturers, not just large facilities. lendfloCapital works with job shops, contract manufacturers, fabricators, and all types of manufacturing businesses to find the best equipment financing rates and terms for their specific machinery needs.

Is equipment financing better than leasing for manufacturing machinery?

For most manufacturing equipment, financing (ownership) is better than leasing because manufacturing machinery has long useful lives (10–20 years) and high resale value. Owning the equipment outright after the loan term means zero equipment cost for the remaining useful life — a significant competitive advantage for manufacturers.

How does manufacturing equipment financing work with used machinery?

Used manufacturing equipment can be financed through lendfloCapital, though lenders evaluate age, condition, and resale value more carefully for used industrial machinery. Used CNC machines, presses, and other industrial equipment are commonly financed when they have documented maintenance history and clear market comps.
