for Your Industry

Every industry faces a variety of risks, possibilities, and opportunities. Accord provides custom-built financing solutions to help you overcome the manufacturing challenges unique to your business.

Financial solutions built for the manufacturing industry—in tune with your business

To keep up with demand, manufacturers need cash to acquire and operate assets, including raw materials, heavy equipment, industrial machinery, plants and rolling stock. Manufacturing finance solutions help you optimize procurement, production, transportation, and distribution.

Accord has provided manufacturing finance and asset-based lending solutions to manufacturing companies like yours since 1978. We can help your operation with customized financing options, including: operating lines of credit, supply chain finance, plant finance and equipment finance.

We understand that manufacturing is an extremely challenging and highly complex field, and we are here to help you navigate it.

Not only must you master the technical intricacies of the manufacturing process in your industry, but you must manage and overcome numerous other challenges:

  • Operating in a highly cost competitive environment
  • Quality control
  • Sourcing raw materials
  • Labor management
  • Supply chain and customer delivery logistics
  • Manufacturing finance to manage your cash flow and meet your specific needs

In an effort to reduce costs and stay competitive, you may have transferred your manufacturing offshore, which can create an entirely new set of challenges:

  • More complicated logistics
  • Increased lead-times
  • Quality control with a lack of direct oversight

As wages rise in developing countries, the cost of new technology declines and manufacturing productivity (particularly in the US) continues to improve, the cost advantages over domestic manufacturing are diminishing. This makes a strong business case to consider reshoring manufacturing production back to the domestic market.

Manufacturing finance is essential to achieve and sustain growth. That is because growth requires more raw materials, greater production capacity and more equipment, employees, facilities, etc.

Manufacturers with existing bank facilities can boost their material input by adding AccordOctet supply chain financing to their manufacturing finance mix. AccordOctet gives you a revolving, unsecured line of credit to finance your payables without impacting or relying on existing financing facilities.

The demand to increase production and profitability requires domestic manufacturers to retool machinery and invest in new equipment. Equipment financing options built for your business will ensure you can grow with the equipment you need to thrive.

In addition to your supply chain and manufacturing equipment, numerous other working capital needs must keep pace with your business in order to sustain growth. By leveraging other capital with an asset-based loan, you can realize your innovative manufacturing process to become a leader in your industry.

ABL, Equipment Financing and Supply Chain Financing combine to solve your manufacturing finance needs.

We are dedicated to understanding the unique needs and challenges of your manufacturing business —this ensures that our comprehensive financing solutions are assembled specifically for you and your industry.
