Manufacturing Business Loan FAQs

What manufacturing equipment can be financed?
Virtually all manufacturing equipment qualifies for finance including CNC machines, lathes, presses, production lines, packaging equipment, forklifts, compressors, and factory fit-outs. Both new and used equipment can be financed.
How much can a manufacturing business borrow?
Manufacturing businesses can typically access from $20,000 to $5,000,000 or more. Equipment finance is often available up to 100% of the asset value. Working capital facilities depend on your revenue, trading history, and financial position.
Can I get finance for factory expansion?
Yes. Factory expansion finance can cover construction, equipment, fitout, and working capital needed for the expansion. Lenders assess the projected revenue increase and your ability to service the additional debt.
What is trade finance for manufacturers?
Trade finance helps manufacturers fund the gap between purchasing raw materials and receiving payment for finished goods. It can include letters of credit, import finance, and supply chain facilities, particularly useful for manufacturers dealing with international suppliers.
Do you finance automation and robotics?
Yes. Automation equipment, robotics, and Industry 4.0 technology are all financeable. Lenders view these investments favourably as they typically improve productivity and reduce operating costs.
How are manufacturing loan repayments structured?
Repayments can be structured as fixed monthly payments, seasonal schedules aligned with production cycles, or with balloon payments to reduce monthly costs. Equipment finance is typically structured over the useful life of the asset.
