Contractors & Construction

The Job Starts Before the Client Pays

Materials, labor, mobilization, permits, equipment, and delayed draws can make a profitable job feel like a cash hostage situation. This page helps contractors frame funding around the job economics.

Materials

Buy Before Billing

Lumber, concrete, fixtures, roofing, HVAC, and supplies eat cash before the invoice turns into money.

Labor

Payroll Does Not Care

Crews expect to get paid on schedule. Clients and draws do not always share that sense of urgency.

Equipment

Tools That Make Revenue

Equipment repairs, rentals, and purchases should be connected to jobs, capacity, and revenue impact.

Review Inputs

A contractor file lives or dies in the details.

Contract or scope

What job is being funded, when does it start, and when should cash come back?

Deposit history

Bank activity shows whether the business has the cash-flow muscle to support the request.

Draw schedule

Milestones, retainage, and client payment terms explain the gap.

Debt and liens

Existing obligations, tax issues, and liens should surface early.
