Funding Questions for New Berlin, WI Companies
Distributors and manufacturers can face three funding questions: financing a machine or a forklift, paying for stock before customers pay, and carrying receivables when buyers take 30 to 60 days. The machine shop and fabrication page covers CNC and press-brake financing, and inventory financing covers stock bought ahead of orders. A line of credit can sit behind both to absorb the timing of customer payments.
