How a Growing Operator Used a Truss Machine to Expand Production From Day One

The situation

TAFS helped a client secure finance for a $157,000 truss machine through a private sale.

The client had recently taken over an established business while continuing to run another one, with guarantees available across both entities. The operation already worked across fencing, pools, retaining walls and building product supply.

The challenge

The client only had a 7-month ABN, but the machine had a clear purpose from day one.

There was already infrastructure in place, existing and new clients to service, and purchase orders waiting to be completed. The client expected the machine to generate around $50,000 per month in additional revenue.

The TAFS strategy

TAFS structured the deal around the client’s strong credit profile, asset-backed position, guarantees across both businesses, and the immediate commercial upside of the purchase.

What similar operators should know

A newer ABN doesn’t necessarily mean a weak application.

If there’s proven industry experience, infrastructure already in place, clean credit, and real demand waiting, those factors can materially strengthen the deal.

The result

With the machine in place, the client was positioned to expand production immediately, fulfil existing orders, and generate an estimated $50,000 per month in additional revenue.

Key takeaways

• Newer ABNs can still work when the broader story is strong
• Purchase orders and infrastructure can materially support an application
• Finance works best when the asset is ready to produce income from day one

If you’re expanding production and need the right machine in place fast, TAFS can help structure the deal around what lenders actually care about.
