?Quick answer
RCR International Finance LLC finances manufacturers with equipment financing for machinery and CNC lines, purchase-order and inventory financing to fund large orders and raw materials, and invoice factoring to convert net-term sales into cash. The right tool depends on whether capital is tied up in equipment, inventory, or receivables, subject to underwriting and approval.
Manufacturers sit on long cash conversion cycles: they buy raw materials, run them through expensive machinery, hold work-in-process and finished inventory, then sell on net terms and wait to be paid. Capital is locked up at every stage, and large purchase orders can require more upfront spend than the business can self-fund. Production equipment is both the core asset and a recurring capital expense as lines are upgraded and automated.

The timing problem
Why timing drives manufacturing financing
Like most manufacturers, your costs often come due before customers pay. Financing closes that gap so a healthy business is never held back by the calendar.

Manufacturing financing FAQs
- How can a manufacturer fund a purchase order it cannot afford to produce?
- Purchase-order financing advances funds to pay suppliers and production costs against a confirmed order from a creditworthy buyer, so you can fulfill orders larger than your cash on hand. It is repaid when the buyer pays, subject to underwriting and approval.
- Can production machinery be financed if it is custom-built?
- Yes, including engineered-to-order lines. Underwriting considers the machine's resale value, the vendor, and your operating history, and soft costs like installation and tooling can often be included in the financed amount.
- What is the difference between inventory and PO financing?
- Inventory financing is secured by stock you already own to free up tied-up capital, while purchase-order financing funds the cost of fulfilling a specific confirmed order before you have been paid. Many manufacturers use them together.
- Can factoring and equipment financing be used at the same time?
- Yes. It is common to factor receivables for working capital while separately financing machinery, since the two are secured by different assets. RCR International Finance LLC can coordinate both structures.
