Equipment Financing for Manufacturing

Manufacturers acquire equipment for contracts, efficiency, or capability. Elevex aligns payment structures to customer contracts, production milestones, and outcomes.

CNC machining center on a production floor — manufacturing equipment financing

How Elevex works

Forty seconds, start to funded.

The Reality

Equipment investment links directly to business outcomes — but traditional financing views it as generic acquisition. We align payments to contracts, milestones, and the outcomes the equipment creates.

Contract-Aligned Terms

Your customer signs a three-year contract; your equipment payments shouldn't run seven. Terms matched to contract duration with extend/upgrade/return options.

Milestone-Based Structures

Funding costs aligned to customer payment receipts across production ramp.

CapEx-to-OpEx Conversion

Structures that let your CFO expense rather than capitalize while keeping ownership benefits.

Common Questions

Can I finance a used CNC machine?
Yes — used CNC machine financing is a core strength, whether the machine comes from a dealer, an auction, or another shop. We understand spindle-hour economics and machine-tool resale values, so good used iron gets priced fairly.
How do contract-aligned payment terms work?
If a customer contract runs three years, we can structure equipment payments over the same window — with extend, upgrade, or return options at the end instead of payments that outlive the revenue. See how the structures compare.
What size manufacturing deals do you handle?
From a $60K used lathe to a $5MM+ production line: application-only decisions to $1,000,000, and structured underwriting above it. Apply online with your equipment quote to start.
Does manufacturing equipment qualify for Section 179?
Most machinery and equipment placed in service this tax year qualifies for Section 179 expensing, financed or purchased outright — often a six-figure first-year deduction on one machine. Model it with our Section 179 calculator.
