Financing for Steel Suppliers
Steel supply is capital-hungry. You need cash for two things at once: the tonnage on the rack and the gear that processes it. A new bandsaw, guillotine, plasma table or crane truck can run to the ~$120,000 mark, and the mill stock under it is paid for long before fabricators settle their accounts. A working-capital line keeps the yard stocked through a price swing, while equipment finance puts the processing gear in without draining the float.
Common questions
Steel Suppliers — business loan questions
Can I finance a crane truck and the processing line together?
Often yes. The truck and saws can sit on equipment finance while a separate working-capital line covers stock and mill deposits. Cockatoo helps match you to a lender that understands a steel yard's mix of plant and inventory.
Will a slow trade month hurt my application?
Steel demand follows the building cycle, so a quiet quarter is normal and good lenders expect it. Your repeat fabricator and builder accounts and your stock turnover usually matter more than one soft month.
