Manufacturing
Manufacturers need machinery, raw materials and long receivable cycles, and many qualify for automation and productivity programmes, so a mix of asset finance, invoice finance and grants works well.
Best-fit financing, in order
- 1
Grants & matching grants
Why: Automation, ESG and smart-manufacturing programmes from agencies like MIDA and SME Corp may co-fund upgrades.
- 2
Leasing & asset financing
Why: Machinery is financed against itself, keeping other collateral free.
- 3
Invoice financing & factoring
Why: Supplying larger buyers on 60 to 90 day terms? Invoice financing releases that cash earlier.
- 4
Bank term loans & credit lines
Why: Term loans and trade facilities are the traditional route for established factories.
