Why this exists

Why the usual lenders say no.

Your revenue is real. The problem is the form. Here is why traditional underwriting turns away healthy operators in this space, and what we do differently.

01

High debt-to-income

Banks often view high equipment leverage as a risk, ignoring your existing asset value.

Asset-based lenders focus on the machinery's equity rather than past cash flow.
02

Fluctuating revenue

Traditional lenders dislike the seasonal or project-based revenue common in manufacturing.

Bridge loans are specifically designed to cover seasonal gaps between large contracts.
03

Short time in business

Younger firms struggle to meet rigid 5-year operating history requirements.

Many partner lenders approve firms based on current purchase orders and contracts.

Questions we get asked

Frequently asked.

Asset-based lending uses your machinery, inventory, or accounts receivable as collateral. This allows for faster approvals compared to banks, which often require 2-3 years of tax returns and deep credit analysis. You can typically access 70-85% of your inventory value in 48 hours.
