Financing for Upholsterers
Upholstery doesn't need huge capital, but the right gear and materials still tie up cash. Finance around the ~$30,000 mark can fund industrial sewing machines, a foam cutter, a compressor and air tools, or a better-fitted workshop, plus the fabric, foam and leather you buy up front for booked jobs. Investing in faster, better equipment lets you take on more work and finish to a higher standard.
Working capital also bridges the gap on jobs that run for weeks, where you have outlaid materials but won't be paid until completion, and helps you stock fabric to win commercial or automotive contracts. Cockatoo helps match you to a lender who understands a craft-based trade with up-front material costs rather than treating a sole craftsperson like a large manufacturer.
Common questions
Upholsterers — business loan questions
Can I finance industrial sewing and foam-cutting machines?
Yes — industrial sewing machines, foam cutters, compressors and air tools are common equipment-finance items. Spreading the cost keeps your cash free for fabric and materials, and Cockatoo helps match you to a lender who understands a craft trade.
How can finance help with long jobs and material costs?
A working-capital line covers the fabric, foam and leather you buy up front for a job that won't be paid until it's finished weeks later. It means a big restoration or commercial contract doesn't tie up all your cash before the invoice is paid.
