Why manufacturers choose Fast Business Loans

Manufacturing businesses often need finance for equipment upgrades, seasonal raw material purchases, bridging payment terms, or scaling to fulfil large orders. Finding the right lender is time-consuming and technical: different lenders specialise in asset finance, invoice facilities, or export finance.

Fast Business Loans does not lend. We act as an introducer, using the details you provide to match you with lenders and brokers most likely to support your manufacturing business. You’ll get multiple tailored contacts quickly so you can compare options without applying to dozens of providers yourself.

Manufacturing finance options we can introduce

Working capital & cash flow loans

Used to bridge payroll, supplier payments or short-term working capital gaps. Lenders may offer unsecured or secured term loans, typically from £10,000 upwards. Terms and affordability vary—expect lenders to assess turnover, cashflow and trading history.

Asset & equipment finance

Finance to buy or lease production machinery, presses or automation systems. Asset finance can preserve cash while spreading cost and often takes the equipment as security. Options include hire purchase, finance leases and operating leases.

Invoice finance for manufacturing

Unlock cash tied up in unpaid invoices. Invoice factoring and discounting improve liquidity when buyers have long payment terms. Useful for manufacturers handling larger B2B contracts or export invoices.

Commercial mortgages & property finance

Funding to buy or refinance factory units, warehouses or workshops. Lenders will review property value, business cashflow and long‑term plans. Typical loan sizes can range widely depending on property value and business scale.

Green & sustainability manufacturing loans

Finance for energy-saving upgrades, low-emission equipment or renewable projects on-site. Some lenders and schemes offer preferential terms for sustainability investments—ask our partners about green funding options.

Each option carries different costs and suitability. We introduce you to partners who explain responsible borrowing and repayment scenarios so you can choose what fits your manufacturing plans.

Who can apply for manufacturing business finance?

Typical businesses our partners support include limited companies, growing SMEs and mid-market manufacturers with established trading records. While requirements differ across lenders, common considerations are:

• Minimum loan sizes: generally from £10,000 upward.
• Turnover & trading history: many lenders prefer a track record but there are specialist options for younger businesses with strong contracts or order books.
• Credit profile: partners consider the whole business picture; some specialise in cases where credit history is not perfect.
• Security & documentation: management accounts, aged debtors, purchase orders and cashflow forecasts help speed decisions.

Common manufacturing finance scenarios we support

Upgrading production lines & automation

Situation: Need modern CNC machines to increase capacity. Match: Asset finance/hire purchase spreads cost and can include installation and maintenance. Benefit: Preserve working capital while upgrading equipment.

Bridging supply chain gaps

Situation: Supplier invoices due before customer payment arrives. Match: Short-term working capital or invoice finance bridges cashflow. Benefit: Avoid production delays and keep supplier relationships strong.

Scaling exports and overseas orders

Situation: Large overseas order requires raw material purchase and credit terms to buyer. Match: Export finance, purchase order finance or debtor finance support growth while mitigating risk.

Supporting seasonal or project-based production

Situation: Production peaks seasonally and staffing/materials need covering. Match: Flexible short-term loans or revolving facilities to manage peaks without long-term cost.

We’ll match your scenario to lenders or brokers who commonly fund similar manufacturing needs — improving your chances of a suitable quote.
