Working Capital for Manufacturing Businesses in Michigan
Manufacturing in Michigan runs on a cash cycle that most lenders don't understand. You spend on raw materials and labor today, and collect from customers 30–90 days after delivery. A broken machine, a new contract, or a raw material price spike can all create the same problem: you need capital now, not when the invoice clears. SMB Capital Funding funds manufacturers based on your revenue history — fast enough to keep production running.
SMB Capital Funding is a direct lender — we underwrite and fund in-house, with no brokers and no middlemen. Programs range from working capital and revenue-based financing to equipment loans and merchant cash advances, with capacity up to $20 million. If your Manufacturing business in Michigan has consistent monthly deposits, you likely qualify — regardless of credit history.
Common cash flow pressures for Manufacturing owners
- You have a purchase order for $200K in product. Raw materials are $80K. Your net-60 customer doesn't pay until delivery.
- A machine broke down on the floor. Production is at 60% capacity and every day costs you $8K–$12K in lost throughput.
- A new contract requires you to scale headcount by 30% in 45 days. Payroll starts before the first invoice goes out.
- Raw material prices are spiking. You can lock pricing now with a bulk order — or pay 20% more in 90 days.
- You need a second shift. The labor cost starts immediately. The revenue lift from doubled output takes 60–90 days.

I have a confirmed PO but need raw materials funded before the customer pays. Can you bridge that?
Yes. Working capital for PO-backed production is a common structure. A specialist will review your revenue history and the contract timeline.
A machine broke down and I'm losing throughput every day. How fast can you fund a repair or replacement?
Same-day decisions are available for qualified applicants. Most manufacturers receive funds within 24 hours of approval.
My revenue is lumpy — some months are strong, some are slow. Does that disqualify me?
We look at your 3-month deposit history. Project-based and cyclical revenue patterns are common in manufacturing and don't disqualify you.
What credit score do I need?
We accept scores from 500. Monthly revenue and time in business are the primary qualifiers.
