Why a general contractor seeks financing
General contractors know the rhythm: you front labor and materials now, but payment lands after the punch list clears. That cash flow gap can stall your next project or force you to turn down work you're ready to win. Owners seek capital to stay liquid between draws and keep crews moving.
We are a broker, not a lender, so we match that need to a lender that understands the industry instead of forcing one product.
Common uses of capital
Business-purpose funding a general contractor might use for:
- Bridge funding between draw payments
- Purchase upfront material orders for multiple job sites
- Cover subcontractor payroll during project delays
- Finance heavy equipment or tool rentals
- Fund bid bonds or performance bonds for new contracts
Products that tend to fit
Depending on the situation, that can be a term loan, a line of credit, equipment financing, an SBA loan or invoice factoring.
Equipment Financing
Equipment financing funds trucks, machinery, kitchen gear and other hard assets, usually with the equipment itself as collateral.
SBA Loans
SBA loans are bank loans partially guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration, often used for larger or longer-term needs.
Business Line of Credit
A business line of credit is a revolving limit a business can draw on, repay and draw again as working capital needs move.
Honest about terms
Rates and terms for a general contractor are set by the lender and depend on revenue, time in business and credit. We do not promise a rate, an amount or approval, and we label any sample figure as an estimate.
