As technology evolves, electronics manufacturers are faced with the need to be flexible and adaptable to keep up with constantly changing customer demands. Smart electronics devices continue to grow in popularity, and pressures are mounting for green electronics manufacturing. There’s also a push for energy-efficient electronics, forcing manufacturers to develop new methods to produce devices that consume less energy, and added emphasis on logistics for rapid delivery.
Many electronics manufacturers are middle market companies, which typically have higher risk profiles. They experience unique challenges to raise equity, and in particular, borrow the funds necessary to keep their heads above water. Growth in sales is unlikely to be financed by profits from those sales, thus it’s not always intuitive to entrepreneurs that success in sales growth can lead to bankruptcy.

Electronics manufacturers may seek loans for a variety of reasons, including:
- Manufacturing acquisition financing
- Working capital
- Equipment purchase and financing
- Finance payroll
- Manufacturing expansion
- Pay for technology updates to streamline production
- Hire skilled professionals
- Purchase and/or transport of raw materials to the production site
- Invest in marketing efforts
