Equipment financing
High Point manufacturers face a distinct challenge: equipment that costs six or seven figures but depreciates the moment it powers on. Furniture makers along the I-85 corridor need updated CNC routers and finishing systems to compete with imports. Textile operations in Archdale require looms and dyeing equipment that meet modern efficiency standards. Food manufacturers near the Eastchester Drive industrial park must finance stainless-steel processing lines that satisfy USDA compliance.
Traditional bank loans often treat manufacturing equipment as generic collateral, ignoring its specialized resale market and industry-specific useful life. That mismatch creates approval friction. We broker relationships with lenders who appraise a five-axis CNC differently than a delivery van and structure terms around your production revenue, not arbitrary loan committees.
Loan programs
SBA 7(a) loans suit manufacturers buying equipment with long useful lives, industrial ovens, injection molding machines, or packaging lines, because the program allows up to 10-year terms on machinery and 25 years when real estate is involved. Equipment financing isolates the asset as collateral, often requiring smaller down payments than conventional loans. Leasing arrangements preserve working capital for raw materials and payroll. Business lines of credit bridge the gap when purchase orders arrive before customer payments clear.
We also arrange invoice factoring for manufacturers with net-30 or net-60 terms, turning receivables into same-week cash for equipment deposits.
We start every engagement at our 3980 Premier Dr office or your facility with a walkthrough of your production floor and balance sheet. A Thomasville furniture component supplier recently needed $340,000 for a edgebander and panel saw upgrade; we matched them with an equipment lender who financed 90% and structured payments around their seasonal order calendar. That scenario repeats across High Point's manufacturing base: the right loan exists, but finding the lender who writes it requires broker-level market access.

What equipment qualifies for manufacturing financing in High Point? CNC machines, industrial ovens, food processing lines, textile looms, forklifts, packaging equipment, and fabrication tools typically qualify. Lenders favor equipment with clear resale markets and useful lives exceeding the loan term, common in High Point's furniture and food production sectors.
How quickly can manufacturers secure equipment loans? SBA 7(a) approvals take four to eight weeks; direct equipment financing often closes in two to three weeks. Invoice factoring and lines of credit can fund within days, useful when equipment auctions or supplier discounts require fast decisions in competitive High Point markets.
Do brokers help with equipment leasing or only loans? Brokers arrange both. Leasing preserves capital and may offer tax advantages through Section 179 deductions. Loans build equity in the asset. We present both structures so Archdale and Jamestown manufacturers choose based on cash flow, tax strategy, and equipment lifecycle rather than lender convenience.
