When you’re scaling your manufacturing business, steady cash flow can be as critical as your production line. The reality is that even successful growth can cause cash flow gaps — whether you’re stocking more inventory, hiring skilled labor, or expanding operations.

The good news? Planning for these challenges can make all the difference. At Primary Funding, we’ve helped manufacturers overcome the typical growth cash crunch with solutions designed around flexibility, not restrictions.

Here are three proven strategies to strengthen cash flow during growth:

  1. Use Invoice Factoring for Faster Payments: Don’t wait 30, 60, or 90 days for customer payments. Factoring turns your receivables into immediate cash — giving you room to cover payroll, raw materials, and expansion needs.

  2. Align Production with Sales Cycles: Forecast your peak sales periods and ensure your inventory and cash flow plans support demand without overextending resources.

  3. Partner With a Flexible Lender: Banks tend to look backward at your credit history; alternative funding solutions like invoice factoring focus on future sales — and that opens the door to growth.

At Primary Funding, we know one-size financing doesn’t fit every business. That’s why we offer flexible, straightforward funding that scales with you. Reach out to us via our Contact Us form on the website or send us a DM on our Facebook and LinkedIn Page.
