Financing for Welders
Welding businesses need cash for plant and for materials. A multi-process welder, a plasma cutter, fume extraction, a mobile rig or a workshop fit-out can reach the ~$70,000 mark, and on bigger fabrication jobs you carry the cost of steel, gas and consumables before the client pays. A working-capital or equipment facility lets you buy steel well, take on larger structural and fabrication contracts, and keep the right machines running without stalling on cash.
Common questions
Welders — business loan questions
Can I finance welding plant and a mobile rig?
Often yes. Welders, plasma cutters, extraction and vehicle fit-outs commonly sit on equipment finance, while a separate working-capital line covers steel and consumables on big jobs. Cockatoo helps match you to a lender that understands fabrication trades.
How do I cover steel costs on a large fabrication job?
Progress claims and deposits help, but many welders use a short-term working-capital line to buy materials up front and repay once the job is invoiced. That keeps you from turning down work you can clearly deliver.
