Capital that keeps commercial crews working

From application to funds, fast

Funding can land in as little as 24 hours for qualified contractors. About three months of statements, no tax returns, about five minutes to apply.

Receivables speak loudly

FICO 500+ is considered with a soft pull to start. Your deposit history from commercial work carries weight.

Full cost before you commit

Your offer shows the complete repayment amount before you accept. Nothing surprising after you sign.

Plan repayment against draws

The repayment schedule is in your offer up front, so you can line it up with progress billing.

Where commercial contractors feel the squeeze

Commercial contracting is built on delayed payment. Progress billing, net-60 terms, and retainage held until closeout mean you often fund two or three jobs out of pocket at once. Add a general contractor who pays slowly, and a profitable firm can still run tight on cash in the middle of a strong year.

This page is written for commercial, industrial, and municipal contractors: tenant improvements, electrical and mechanical subs, site work, roofing on commercial buildings, and similar trades.

A note on the word same-day

People search for same day contractor funding because jobs start on short notice. Here is what we can say honestly: decisions move fast, and qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours. Anything faster depends on your file and your bank, so plan with that window in mind.

Match the funding to the job phase

  1. Bid award to mobilization: working capital for deposits, permits, and first material orders.
  2. Active build: a business line of credit to cover payroll between progress draws.
  3. Fleet and tools: equipment financing for lifts, trucks, or machinery, typically secured by the equipment itself.
  4. Retainage gap: working capital to carry overhead until closeout payments clear.

Sizing example

For illustration only: an electrical subcontractor billing about $210,000 a month wins a warehouse job. Material lead times require a $90,000 order up front, and the GC pays progress invoices at 45 days. The owner models the peak cash need at about $130,000, then requests close to that figure instead of a much larger amount. Right-sizing the request keeps payments tied to what the project actually generates.

Simple documentation

The application takes about 5 minutes. You will provide about three months of business bank statements, and no tax returns are required. FICO scores from 500 are considered, the process begins with a soft credit pull, and sole proprietors can apply. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000 through our partner Merchant Fund Express.

Credit work and funding are separate services. You can apply now based on revenue while building your business credit on its own path.

Line it up before the next bid

Contractors who arrange capital before they need it bid with more confidence. Start your application and know your options before the next award letter arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with residential remodelers?

This page focuses on commercial contractors. Residential remodeling has its own cash-flow patterns, and we cannot promise funding for that work.

Can I use funding to carry retainage?

Yes, covering overhead while retainage is held is a common use for working capital.

Is equipment financing separate from working capital?

Yes. Equipment financing is tied to a specific asset, while working capital is a general-purpose lump sum.

How fast is the decision?

Decisions move quickly, and qualified contractors can be funded in as little as 24 hours. Timing beyond that depends on the file and bank.

Does slow GC payment hurt my application?

Reviewers look at overall deposit patterns across about three months. Uneven timing is normal in contracting and is read in context.

Lumber and steel $42,000.00
Crew payroll $38,500.00
Skid steer $56,000.00
Permits and fees $8,500.00
