Why machine shops finance equipment instead of paying cash

A new five-axis mill or a Swiss-style lathe can change what jobs you can quote. It can also drain the cash you need for bar stock, tooling and payroll while the machine is still being rigged and proven out. Equipment financing lets the machine start earning before it is fully paid for, so your operating account stays intact for the work it is meant to support.

At Merchant Fund Express we look at your shop the way an operator would: steady deposits, a book of repeat customers, and a clear reason the new machine adds capacity or cuts a bottleneck.

What machine shops typically finance

Used equipment can make sense too, especially when a quality pre-owned machine gets you running on a new contract sooner than a factory order would.

How the process works

  1. Fill out the 5-minute application. We start with a soft credit pull.
  2. Send about three months of business bank statements and the equipment quote or description.
  3. Review an offer that lays out the full repayment amount and the payment schedule before you accept anything.
  4. Once you sign, funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses.

No tax returns are required, and sole proprietors can apply.

Fitting equipment into your bigger cash picture

Equipment is only part of the story. If a new machine also means more material and another operator, you may want a business line of credit alongside it, or read our machine shop cash flow guide to plan the ramp-up. Shops taking on a large purchase order can also look at big contract funding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I finance a used CNC machine?

Yes, used equipment can be financed. Share the seller's quote, the machine details and its condition so we can understand what you are buying and how it fits your work.

How much can a machine shop get for equipment?

Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000. The amount you are offered depends mainly on your deposits, your existing obligations and the equipment itself.

Do I need perfect credit?

No. FICO scores of 500 and up are considered, and we look closely at the health of your business bank account, not just the score.

What paperwork do you need?

Usually about three months of business bank statements plus the equipment quote. No tax returns are required to get started.

Will I know the total cost before I sign?

Yes. Your offer shows the full repayment amount and the payment schedule up front, so there are no surprise costs after you sign.
