New equipment
A quote is in hand. Lead time is 20–30 weeks. Terms are not.
Typical next step: Enroll. We start with the machine, the date, and the options.
CAMPS member-exclusive benefit
Get the machine funded before the lead time runs out.
You already know what you need to buy. CAMPS helps members get the package ready, compare banks, leases, and public programs, and stay on the production calendar. Free for members. No commissions.
Member benefit · No cost · No solicitation
A member plant. The quote is in hand. The funding is not.
CAMPS does not lend money.
It helps Washington manufacturers get ready, compare options, and reach lenders — without being sold to.
Who this is for
If this is your project, you are in the right place.
These are typical member situations — examples, not case studies. If the project is real and the calendar is 3–12 months, enroll.
Facility or line
The space or the line is real. The package the bank wants is not finished.
Typical next step: Enroll. We line up structure before you lose the window.
Working capital
Orders will support another shift. The current line of credit will not.
Typical next step: Enroll. We map working-capital options around your calendar.
Clarity
What CAMPS does — and does not
CAMPS does
- Help you name the right structure for this project
- Get quotes, timing, and numbers into a lender-ready package
- Introduce manufacturing-savvy lenders and grant programs if you want them
- Sit with you on terms. You can keep your existing bank.
CAMPS does not
- Lend money
- Take a commission or finder's fee
- Require confidential financials
- Replace your banker
The calendar is the constraint
Funding has to land before the machine does.
Lead times do not wait on a messy loan file. The Accelerator exists to get the package right the first time so production stays on schedule.

Questions
Straight answers
Is there a cost?
No. The Capital Accelerator is included in CAMPS membership. There is no extra program fee.
Do you take a cut from lenders?
No. CAMPS receives no commission, processing cut, or finder's fee from any matched transaction.
Do I have to use CAMPS partners?
No. You can use CAMPS introductions, your own bank or leasing company, or both.
Will CAMPS need my confidential financials?
No. CAMPS will not require confidential information. Financials stay between you and the professionals you choose to work with.
What if we get declined?
We look at other lending and finance options and help you re-engage. A decline is a gap in the package or the fit — not the end of the project.
How is this different from calling the bank?
You go in prepared, with more than one path, timed to your install date — including incentives when they fit.
Is this only for large manufacturers?
No. It is for CAMPS manufacturing members of any size with a defined equipment, facility, or working-capital project in the next 3–12 months.
Who is this not for?
Early-stage startups hunting venture capital, or projects with no payback or production target.
