Finance for Manufacturing
Manufacturers fund machinery, raw materials and stock well before the sale is paid. That ties up cash at every stage. Finstead arranges finance for the equipment and for the working capital cycle, from raw materials through to the customer's payment.
What finance suits manufacturing businesses?
Equipment Finance: Plant, machinery and production line upgrades.
Trade Finance: Funds imported materials and components before they are sold on.
Invoice Finance: Releases cash from invoices issued on trade terms.
Asset Refinance: Releases equity from plant and equipment already owned.
Situations we commonly see
- A machinery upgrade needed to win larger orders
- Imported materials that must be paid for before production starts
- Large customers paying on long terms
- Equity locked in existing plant that could fund growth
