Manufacturing Bridge Loan
Short-term capital for manufacturers funding a specific event, such as a large purchase order, an equipment install, a facility expansion, or a refinance.
Defined event, defined exit
Manufacturing bridges are most useful when there is a clear, dated trigger that retires the capital: a customer payment, an SBA close, an equipment delivery that unlocks production capacity.
Without that exit, a bridge becomes an expensive operating loan. With one, it can be the cleanest tool in the structure.
