Loan programs
Centennial manufacturers typically choose equipment financing (installment loans with ownership) or equipment leasing (use-based payments, return or buyout at term-end). We broker both, layering SBA 7(a) loans for large CNC mills or injection molders, and working capital lines to bridge production gaps between orders.
Centennial sits along the E-470 logistics spine, where lean manufacturers serve aerospace subcontracts, craft beverage production, and medical-device prototyping. A five-axis CNC machine or automated packaging line can cost $250,000 to $800,000. Without upfront cost breakdowns, manufacturers discover balloon payments, hidden documentation fees, or residual-value clauses that turn a "$3,200/month lease" into a $47,000 buyout surprise. We show you the all-in cost of every structure before you commit, so you can model cash flow against production schedules and contract pipelines.
Equipment financing
Manufacturing equipment loans (term loans or SBA 7(a) loans) let you own the asset outright, claim Section 179 depreciation, and avoid mileage or usage penalties. Loan payments stay fixed, and the equipment becomes balance-sheet collateral. Manufacturing equipment leasing offers lower monthly outlays, faster approvals, and the flexibility to upgrade when technology shifts. Lease payments are often fully deductible as operating expenses, but you never own the machine unless you exercise a buyout. We broker both paths and compare the five-year total cost side by side, including tax treatment and residual obligations.
We gather your equipment quotes, production forecasts, and current balance sheet, then shop your profile across SBA-preferred lenders, regional banks, and specialty equipment finance companies. For a Lone Tree food manufacturer buying a $180,000 blast freezer, we might present an SBA 7(a) term loan at 85% LTV alongside a $1 buyout lease and a working-capital bridge to cover installation labor. You see payment schedules, buyout clauses, and prepayment terms in plain English. Our broker fee is disclosed upfront; no backend yield-spread surprises.

A Meridian-based contract machining shop needed two Haas CNC mills ($340,000 combined) to fulfill a three-year aerospace subcontract. The owner compared a 7-year SBA 7(a) loan (ownership, Section 179 deduction, fixed rate) against a 5-year FMV lease (lower monthly cost, upgrade option at term-end, no residual risk). We brokered both quotes. The shop chose the SBA loan because the contract guaranteed revenue and ownership improved their acquisition appeal. Installation happened in 11 weeks; the mills now run two shifts near the Centennial Airport logistics hub.
