Machines, materials and the long gap between them in Illinois.

Manufacturers carry the longest cash cycle of any business we fund: raw material out the door, work in process on the floor, then net-60 terms after delivery. The right structure funds each stage separately instead of stretching one facility over all three.

The problem we solve

Why Illinois manufacturers and industrial shops run short

Chicago's freight and manufacturing base gives Illinois owners access to nearly every structure we place, including larger asset-based facilities. For manufacturers and industrial shops, that plays out in a handful of predictable ways:

  • Raw material deposits ahead of production
  • A CNC or press that would double capacity
  • Net-60 terms from large customers
  • A large PO you cannot afford to accept
  • Tooling costs before the first run ships

None of those are profitability problems. They are timing problems, and timing problems have a right tool — which is the whole point of putting your file in front of several lenders instead of one.

Send these first

  • 3–6 months business bank statements
  • AR and AP aging
  • Equipment quote and specifications
  • Two years of returns and a YTD P&L for SBA or term debt

Manufacturing in IL

Manufacturing funding questions.

Most manufacturers and industrial shops in Illinois see offers within one business day of sending bank statements, and funding lands in 24 hours to 5 business days depending on the structure. SBA and real estate run longer by design.
Yes. Used equipment from a dealer or a major auction house finances routinely; private-party sales are harder and usually need a third-party appraisal.
PO financing pays your supplier directly, then factoring takes over once you ship and invoice. It is a two-stage structure and it is the standard answer to a PO larger than your balance sheet.
If you are buying a building, or a building plus machinery, yes. 504 pricing beats every alternative and the amortization is long enough that the payment fits. Budget 60–90 days.
Yes — every county, not just the metros. The application, document collection, signatures and funding all happen remotely, so location never changes your options.
