FAQ

Common questions

Straight answers to what Richmond owners ask most, from a local broker.

Begin with an application that includes details on the equipment you need, current production capacity, and customer contracts driving the purchase. We assess your manufacturing revenue, order backlog, and equipment ROI, then connect you with lenders who specialize in machinery financing and understand production cycles.

Financing typically ranges from fifty thousand for individual machines or tooling upgrades to several million for complete production lines and facility automation. The amount depends on equipment cost, your annual revenue, existing customer contracts, and whether you're adding capacity or replacing aging machinery.

Approvals for established manufacturers with clear purchase orders often come within one week of application. Funding generally follows within five to ten days, allowing you to coordinate equipment delivery, installation, and operator training without disrupting current production schedules or customer commitments.

Lenders prioritize your customer base, order pipeline, and equipment's impact on profitability over personal credit scores. Manufacturers with credit in the 600s regularly secure financing when they show long-term contracts, diversified customers, and a track record of on-time delivery to Richmond-area and regional buyers.

The equipment itself serves as primary collateral, with lenders typically taking a first lien on the machinery. Many also file a blanket UCC on business assets and require a personal guarantee, but most avoid requiring real estate unless you're financing a facility expansion alongside the equipment purchase.

Gather recent financials including profit and loss statements, a current accounts receivable aging report, customer contracts or purchase orders, and equipment quotes with delivery timelines. Lenders also want to see your existing equipment list, production capacity data, and a brief narrative on how the new machinery improves margins or output.
