Equipment commonly financed

Assets used in industrial & manufacturing

Examples include the equipment below. Eligibility depends on commercial use, transaction size, condition, seller and lender requirements.

  • CNC mills, lathes and machining centres
  • Laser, plasma and waterjet cutters
  • Press brakes, shears and forming equipment
  • Welding and fabrication systems
  • Compressors and plant air equipment
  • Forklifts and material-handling equipment
  • Packaging and labelling lines
  • Robotics and industrial automation
  • Production, inspection and shop machinery

Plan for delivery, installation and the path to production

Industrial projects can involve deposits, international suppliers, rigging, electrical work, software and commissioning. Not every soft cost is financeable, so separate the machine, permanent accessories, installation and services on the quote.

For used machinery, model, serial number, age, operating condition, controls, tooling and value support are important. A specialized asset should also have a clear role in the borrower’s existing business rather than relying only on projected demand.

Qualification is transaction-specific. Merrit Capital does not promise approval, rates, down payment, term or funding time before a lender has reviewed the borrower, asset and documents.

Common financing scenarios

Where financing often fits

The business purpose should be specific enough to show how the equipment supports capacity, reliability or a defined service.

Remove a production bottleneck

Add the machine that increases throughput where work currently waits between processes.

Bring an outsourced process inside

Invest in cutting, forming, finishing or packaging equipment when volume supports internal production.

Modernize an established line

Replace inefficient equipment or add automation while planning around installation and ramp-up.

Prepare the request

Information that helps a lender understand the deal

Not every item is required in every transaction, but these details frequently matter in industrial & manufacturing.

  • Machine specifications and production purpose
  • Supplier and country of origin
  • Deposit, delivery and installation schedule
  • Permanent accessories versus services
  • Existing orders and capacity utilization
  • Used-equipment condition and market value

Industry questions

Manufacturing equipment financing FAQ

Can CNC machinery be financed?

CNC mills, lathes, machining centres and related commercial equipment may be considered, subject to the business, machine, supplier and transaction.

Can installation and rigging be included?

Certain directly related costs may be eligible, but services and soft costs are lender-specific. An itemized proposal lets Merrit Capital identify what may fit.

Do you finance used manufacturing equipment?

Yes, subject to review. Detailed specifications, serial numbers, condition information, seller details and value support are especially important for specialized used machines.

Can automation and robotics be financed?

Durable automation equipment may be considered when the system, supplier, implementation plan and business use are clearly documented.

What if the machine is imported?

Cross-border or imported equipment may require additional documentation, currency, tax, title, delivery and supplier review. Discuss the transaction before paying a large deposit.
