Sell More Systems with Financing Built for Plant Infrastructure.
Whether you’re selling a compressed air system, a dust collection retrofit or a complete boiler and process cooling package, FPG helps your sales team present financing earlier and keep the project moving forward.
Financing should not be the thing your team reaches for after a customer says the capital isn’t approved. Used earlier in the sales process, it becomes a competitive advantage that helps a plant replace failing infrastructure on your schedule instead of running it until it stops.

Financing that works at the speed of a plant project
Fast decisions matter when a compressor is down, an inspection set a deadline or a shutdown window is already scheduled. Speed alone is not enough — sellers also need flexible structures and people who understand the equipment, the buyer and the install.
The Equipment Seller’s Perspective
Financing should help create the yes — not show up after the no.
Your priority is to win projects, shorten the sales cycle and protect margin on the installation. When financing is treated as an afterthought, the plant may already have decided to repair instead of replace, patch the system one more year, buy the undersized unit that fits available cash, or self-perform the mechanical work.
Replace instead of repair again
When a system is failing, financing gives a plant a way to put in the right equipment now rather than funding another repair that buys a few more months.
Size the system to the plant, not to the budget
Presenting financing early helps a customer buy the capacity the operation actually needs instead of the smallest unit that clears this quarter.
Keep the mechanical work in your scope
Installation, piping, ductwork and electrical are a large share of the number and the first thing a customer tries to self-perform. Financing the complete system keeps the work with your team.
Meet the deadline the budget can’t
When an inspection finding, a compliance requirement or a scheduled shutdown sets the date, financing lets a plant act on that timeline instead of the capital cycle.
We Speak Plant Infrastructure
Built around the systems that keep the plant running
FPG finances new and used plant infrastructure and utility systems, from a single unit to a complete facility package, including the installation that makes them operational. We underwrite the buyer and understand that system type, install scope, facility conditions and production requirements can all influence how a transaction should be structured.
Compressed Air & VacuumRotary screw and centrifugal compressors, dryers, receivers, piping and vacuum systems that feed the whole plant.
Dust, Fume & Mist CollectionBaghouses, cartridge collectors, downdraft tables, welding fume extraction and mist collection for air quality and compliance.
Boilers & Steam SystemsBoilers, burners, steam distribution, condensate return and thermal fluid systems for process heat.
Process Cooling & HVACChillers, cooling towers, air handling, make-up air and plant HVAC that hold temperature and humidity.
Water & Wastewater TreatmentProcess water treatment, filtration, softening, reverse osmosis and wastewater pretreatment systems.
Electrical & Power InfrastructureSwitchgear, transformers, panels, generators, UPS and power quality equipment behind the production floor.
Sanitation & Washdown SystemsClean-in-place systems, washdown equipment, floor and drain systems and sanitation infrastructure that keep a plant audit-ready.
Facility Support EquipmentPlant lighting, high-volume fans, material conveying, waste handling and the support equipment that completes a facility.
Selling a multi-system package, a plant-wide retrofit or a project that spans air, power and ventilation? FPG can structure financing around the complete project rather than one quote at a time.
Why Equipment Sellers Use FPG
One financing relationship. More ways to get the deal done.
FPG combines direct lending, in-house underwriting and a network of strategic funding partners. That gives your sales team more flexibility without forcing them to manage multiple lender relationships on every project.

People who understand the equipment and the sale
Plant infrastructure deals are not generic business financing. The equipment is engineered to the facility, the install is substantial, and the project is often driven by a failure or a deadline rather than a plan. FPG’s team works with sellers and buyers to structure the transaction around the complete system and the operation it supports.

Flexible Structures
Typical programs are not one-size-fits-all.
The right structure depends on the customer, the system and when the plant actually gets the benefit. FPG can structure the sale around the project instead of forcing every buyer into the same financing box.
Equipment Finance Agreements
Traditional structures for customers that want predictable payments and ownership economics.
Purchase Options
Fixed-term structures designed for customers who intend to own the equipment at the end of the term.
Residual Structures
Options that can reduce scheduled payments when a residual value makes sense for the asset and transaction.
Deferred Payments
Structures that can help a plant get through installation, start-up and commissioning before regular payments begin.
Step Payments
Lower early payments that step up over the term, useful for plants ramping production after a retrofit.
Shutdown-Timed Structures
Payment schedules that can be set around a scheduled shutdown or a plant’s production and billing calendar.
Multi-System & Retrofit Packages
One transaction covering air, power, ventilation and treatment systems instead of separate paperwork for each quote.
New & Used Equipment
Financing for new systems and for qualifying used equipment, including plant closure and relocation opportunities.
Installation, piping, ductwork, electrical and freight can be included alongside the equipment, so customers can finance the complete working system rather than the hardware alone.
How It Works
From equipment quote to funded system
Your sales team stays focused on the customer and the next project instead of chasing financing paperwork.
1
Quote the System
Your rep builds the proposal around the plant’s capacity, the facility conditions and the install required.
2
Present Financing
Introduce payment options early instead of waiting for a capital approval objection.
3
Customer Applies
The buyer completes the branded application from a phone or desktop.

FPG handles documents and funds the seller on delivery and acceptance, or once installation is complete for installed systems.
6
Sell the Next System
Your reps stay focused on customers, plants and the next opportunity.
The goal: make financing part of the sales motion without turning your sales team into a finance department.

Payment-Based Selling
Help customers evaluate the payment, not just the project cost.
A monthly payment is a number a plant manager can set against energy cost, downtime and what the operation is already spending to keep a failing system running. It is a far easier comparison than a capital request for a full infrastructure project.

Plant Infrastructure Financing FAQ
Questions equipment sellers ask
Why should our sales team introduce financing before a customer raises capital approval?
Introducing financing earlier gives the plant more ways to evaluate the purchase. Instead of discussing only project cost, your rep can frame the decision around monthly cash flow, preserved working capital and whether the system will be running before the next failure or the next inspection.
Can financing help a customer replace a system instead of repairing it again?
Often, yes. When a system is failing, financing gives a plant a way to put in the right equipment now rather than funding another repair, and to size it to the operation instead of to available cash.
Can installation, piping, ductwork and electrical work be financed with the equipment?
Yes. Installation, piping, ductwork, electrical work and freight can be included alongside the equipment, so the customer finances the complete working system rather than the hardware alone. Amounts and structure are subject to credit approval.
Can several systems be financed in one transaction?
Yes. A multi-system project spanning compressed air, power, ventilation and treatment can be structured as a single transaction rather than separate paperwork for each quote.
Can payments be structured around a shutdown window or a production ramp?
Often, yes. Deferred structures can help a plant get through installation, start-up and commissioning before regular payments begin, and step structures can support a ramp after a retrofit. Availability depends on the transaction and credit approval.
Can financing help a customer act on a compliance or inspection requirement?
Often, yes. When an inspection finding or an air quality, safety or sanitation requirement sets the deadline, financing gives a plant a way to move on that timeline rather than waiting for the next capital cycle.
Do you finance used equipment and plant closure purchases?
Yes. FPG finances new and qualifying used plant equipment, including plant closure and relocation purchases. Age, condition and resale value typically affect the term rather than eligibility.
How fast are decisions?
Most credit decisions come back in two to four hours. Plant-wide projects, larger transactions, unusual structures or more complex credit situations can require additional review.
What happens when a deal does not fit FPG’s direct-lending box?
FPG also works with 25+ strategic funding partners. That gives the team additional ways to structure qualifying transactions without forcing the seller to manage separate lender relationships.
When does the seller get paid?
FPG funds your company in full on delivery and acceptance, or once installation is complete for installed systems. The purchaser pays FPG based on the agreed terms. You receive payment, and FPG manages the financing from there.
