From furnaces to adding capacity, Rainstar Capital Group connects steel producers with commercial financing built around commodity prices and customer terms.
Steel producers face commodity swings and heavy capital needs. Between commodity prices and customer terms and the cost of mill equipment, steel producers need capital that fits the way their business actually works, not a one-size-fits-all loan.
The right financing turns those pressures into opportunities. It lets steel producers invest in furnaces, rolling mills, cranes and processing lines, keep scrap, raw materials and finished steel on hand and pursue growth such as adding capacity, without draining the cash that keeps daily operations running.
We work with steel mills, mini-mills and metal service centers, and we structure every request around the realities of your cash cycle, from commodity prices and customer terms to the equipment and space you need to grow.
Steel producers are the foundation of American industry, and we're proud to finance them. With scrap and raw material prices swinging, our asset-based lines give mills the flexible liquidity to keep furnaces running through every market cycle.
