FAQ

Manufacturing funding questions

Raw materials and components, machine capacity, material handling, a fit-out, tooling, and the time between delivery and payment. Falcon does not restrict the use of proceeds to one category.

Factoring works on invoices you have already issued, so it funds the next order from the last one. For a first or one-off order, a term loan or a line of credit is usually the better fit, so ask your specialist which one applies to your file.

It depends how the vendor quote is written. Send the quote with installation and commissioning itemised and your specialist can tell you what is covered.

Ask before you commit to one. What is already financed against the machine and how the seller quotes it both change the answer, so send the quote and the machine's details to your specialist first.

Mainly your customers' credit and the quality of the invoices, plus your time in business. Factoring starts at 3+ months in business, which is why a shop with steady distributor invoices can qualify earlier than it could for a bank line.

Many products fund within 24-48 hours of approval. Factoring adds invoice verification with your customer, so the customer contact matters as much as the paperwork.

Falcon charges a 0% agreement fee. For factoring, the total amount and the percentage taken are spelled out on the agreement before you sign. No specific rate is published here, because it depends on your file.

Six months of business bank statements, a photo ID, a voided check, a list of any current advances or loans, and a quote or invoice for equipment. Factoring also needs the invoices and your customers' details.
