Machine shops funding in North Dakota

Purchase-order work on 30-60 day terms with material bought up front.

✓ Checking what you qualify for does not affect your credit score.

Why machine shops in North Dakota qualify

Machine shops are classified under Machine Shops, which is an eligible category. That takes industry off the table and leaves the same four things every file is read on: average daily balance against revenue, time in business, negative days and NSFs, and existing positions.

The cash-cycle problem

Purchase-order work on 30-60 day terms with material bought up front.

In North Dakota that usually means capital goes to CNC machines, tooling, raw material for a large order, a second shift.

Order-book driven rather than seasonal.

What applies in North Dakota

North Dakota funds normally on every tier — no extra restrictions apply.

Most of this activity sits around Fargo, Bismarck, Grand Forks, Minot and West Fargo.

We fund businesses in all 50 states. California and New York carry extra restrictions on the revenue-based tier.

The North Dakota economy runs on agriculture, energy and healthcare, and machine shops here largely track that base rather than the weather.

The published thresholds

Tier 1: 650 FICO, 3 years in business, $300,000 a year or $25,000 a month, 8+ monthly deposits.

Tier 2: 600 FICO, 6 months in business, $60,000 revenue, $800 minimum daily balance.

Renewal: 550 FICO, 2 years in business, once 50% of the original balance is repaid.

The minimum FICO is 500. The 650/600/550 tiers are product criteria that decide which product a file is read against, not a floor on the business. Scores in the 500s are placed routinely and are read on revenue, deposit consistency and time in business rather than on the score alone.

Line of credit $10,000 to $350,000, from 1% per month on the drawn balance, 2.49% per draw

Term loan $10,000 to $250,000, 0% origination, weekly payments, capped at 15% of annual revenue

MCA refinance $10,000 to $100,000 on a position with a balance of $100,000 or less

Maximum two existing positions; the line of credit can sit second

Same-day decision, next business day funding on a complete file

Average daily balance of $5,000, or 10% of monthly revenue, whichever is greater. Up to 3 negative days a month, 9 per six months and up to 6 NSFs a month, 24 per six months.
