Bridging the gap between the PO and the payment

Most job shops know the pattern. A customer sends a purchase order, you buy bar stock or plate, program the job, run it, inspect it and ship it. Then you wait for the invoice to be paid while the next job already needs material and the crew needs a paycheck. A merchant cash advance for machine shops puts a lump sum in your account based on your deposit history, so the next job is not held up by the last one's payment terms.

What shops use an advance for

Landing a large order? Our machine shop big contract funding page goes deeper on funding a ramp-up.

How an advance is structured

An advance is paid back from future receipts, and the offer spells out exactly how remittances are collected along with the full repayment amount. You review all of it before you accept, and no costs are added after you sign.

Because a shop's deposits often arrive in larger, less frequent chunks than a retail store's, we look at the pattern over roughly three months rather than any single week. That gives a fair picture of a business that gets paid on invoices.

Is an advance the right tool?

An advance is a strong fit for a defined, near-term need. If your shop needs cash on and off throughout the year, a revolving option may serve you better. Compare both on our line of credit vs. merchant cash advance for machine shops page. For new machines, equipment financing for machine shops is usually the better route.

Applying

The application takes about 5 minutes. We start with a soft credit pull and review about three months of business bank statements; no tax returns required. FICO scores from 500 are considered and sole proprietors can apply. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000, set mainly by your deposits and existing obligations, and qualified shops can be funded in as little as 24 hours. Start your application.

Do you need my tax returns or financial statements?

No tax returns are required. About three months of business bank statements and a short application get us started.

Will you check my credit?

We begin with a soft credit pull, which does not affect your score. FICO scores from 500 are considered.
