Manufacturers carry two financing questions at once: how to fund capacity and how to fund the cycle of raw material, production and receivables. Getting either wrong squeezes margins and growth.
What shapes financing in this sector
Working capital intensity
Inventory and receivable cycles determine how much fund-based and non-fund-based limit you really need.
Capex timing and utilisation
New capacity needs funding well before it earns, and lenders look closely at utilisation and demand visibility.
Raw material and currency exposure
Import dependence and commodity swings affect both margins and the structure of trade finance.
Customer and supplier concentration
Dependence on a few buyers or suppliers is a key credit risk and shapes how lenders price you.
