Why this exists

Why the usual lenders say no.

Your revenue is real. The problem is the form. Here is why traditional underwriting turns away healthy operators in this space, and what we do differently.

01

Recent credit dip

Traditional banks often reject shops due to temporary credit score fluctuations caused by seasonal cash flow gaps.

We look at your shop revenue and equipment value rather than just your personal FICO score.
02

Used equipment

Mainstream lenders shy away from financing older or used CNC equipment because valuing the asset is difficult.

Our network includes specialized equipment lenders who understand the reliable performance of well-maintained used machinery.
03

New business history

Startup shops often lack the three years of tax returns required by regional commercial bank lending programs.

We work with lenders who prioritize your current purchase orders and business plan over long-term tax history.

Questions we get asked

Frequently asked.

Section 179 allows your business to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment from your gross income. For 2026, the deduction limit is significant, often allowing you to write off the entire cost of new or used machinery in the year it is placed in service.
