How New Mexico graphic design studio businesses use this financing

Common uses of funds:

  • Presses (digital, offset, large-format) and finishing equipment
  • Inventory of paper, ink, vinyl, and substrates
  • Build-out and software (RIP, design, MIS)
  • Working capital for B2B net-30/60 receivables

Typical loan size: Print and sign shop loans typically range from $25K to $500K, with full press purchases reaching $750K+.
