Industry funding

Funding for Manufacturing

A production line only earns when it's running. Lúmen funds manufacturers to buy raw materials, upgrade machinery, and keep output flowing while receivables clear.

The challenges

What manufacturing businesses are up against

Raw-material outlay

You buy inputs and run production weeks before the finished goods ship and the invoice gets paid.

Machinery upgrades

Aging equipment caps capacity and quality, but a new line is a major capital commitment.

Long receivable cycles

Wholesale and B2B buyers pay on net terms, stretching the gap between cost and collection.

Large purchase orders

A breakthrough order is great news — and a cash-flow problem if you can't fund the materials to fill it.

“A major retailer placed an order bigger than our annual revenue. Factoring and an equipment loan let us scale the line and deliver on time.”
