FUNDING FOR CONSTRUCTION BUSINESSES
Construction Business Funding
Construction work often creates a timing gap: labor and materials are due before a customer pays the final invoice. A clear funding request starts with the job, the expected costs, and how repayment could fit the company’s existing cash flow.

MAKE YOUR REQUEST CLEARER
A practical planning checklist
Map the job’s payment milestones
Write down when deposits, progress payments, and the final balance are expected. Next to each date, list material purchases, crew payroll, subcontractor payments, and rentals. Identify the period when outgoing cash could exceed incoming payments. Keep signed work separate from bids that have not been awarded.
Describe delays before they become surprises
Use your inquiry notes to explain retainage, disputed invoices, or a customer payment that may arrive late. For example, a materials purchase due before the first project draw is a more specific request than “working capital.” Include the amount and timing if you know them; estimates can be labeled as estimates.
Questions to ask a potential provider
Ask when repayments begin, how often they occur, and whether the schedule changes if a project payment is delayed. Request the total repayment amount, fees, collateral requirements, and any personal guarantee in writing before deciding. Explain other obligations that already draw on the same project revenue.
