Financing for Sign Shops
A sign shop is equipment-hungry — a large-format printer, laminator, plotter, application tools and a stock of vinyl, ink and substrate can run well past the ~$70,000 mark, and you pay for media on every job before the customer settles. Equipment or working-capital finance lets you upgrade to a faster or wider printer, hold consumables and fund deposits on big fleet or shopfront jobs without draining your cash.
Common questions
Sign Shops — business loan questions
Can I finance a new large-format printer?
Yes. A printer is the heart of a sign shop and a classic equipment finance asset, with the repayments spread so the machine earns while it is paid off. Upgrading to faster or higher-quality output can open up jobs your current gear cannot handle. Cockatoo helps match you to a lender that understands print equipment.
How do I fund the media for a big fleet wrap?
Premium cast vinyl and laminate for a multi-vehicle job is a large upfront cost. Working-capital finance bridges the gap between buying the media and collecting the balance on completion, so a big contract does not lock up all your cash.
