Printing is one of the most equipment-intensive small businesses, and the right press wins the big jobs. Printing business funding puts modern presses and finishing gear to work so you can grow volume and margins.
What printing business owners fund
- Presses & printers — digital, offset and large-format
- Finishing — cutters, laminators, binders and folders
- Materials — stock paper, ink and substrates
- Expansion — space, staff and new services
The equipment is the collateral. That keeps press and printer financing flexible on credit, new or used, with low money down.
Funding options
Equipment financing covers presses and finishing gear with the equipment as collateral; working capital and a line of credit stock materials; SBA loans fund larger expansion.
