Construction financing is about timing. The work happens before the money arrives. A 60-day retention hold on a $500K pay-app means $50K you can't touch while materials, labor, and equipment leasing invoices are all due. Most traditional business loans aren't structured for this — bank term loans assume steady monthly revenue, not lumpy project-based income. The lenders we work with get it.

For established construction firms (5+ years in business, clean liens history, stable crew), the product mix looks like this: revolving line of credit as the base (draw when you need it, pay down when pay-apps hit); equipment financing for trucks and heavy machinery (85-100% LTV, 5-7 year term); targeted MCAs for payroll bridges when a project's pay-app slips; SBA 7(a) for expansion, equipment buyouts, or yard purchases. The specific mix depends on your project cadence and capital plan.

One specific construction-industry note: bond capacity is often the bottleneck for growing firms. You can only bid jobs you can bond. Working capital directly supports bondability — surety underwriters look at cash on the balance sheet as the first indicator of bonding capacity. Improving your working capital through a line of credit or term loan can unlock bigger project bids within 60-90 days.

Military veteran-owned construction companies get preferred treatment in several places: SBA Veterans Advantage (fee waiver on 7(a) loans up to $350K), dedicated veteran contracting programs, and several MCA funders in our network offer vet-owned pricing. If you served, tell us upfront. The federal government also has set-aside contracts for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB) — a different conversation, but worth knowing about.

Common questions

What's the best loan for a construction company?+

Line of credit for working capital (most flexible). Equipment financing for trucks and heavy machinery (cheapest for equipment). MCA for fast payroll or material bridges (fast but pricey). SBA 7(a) for expansion and yard purchase (cheapest long-term money). We recommend based on your specific need.

Can I use an MCA to cover payroll while waiting for retention?+

Yes — this is one of the most common construction MCA use cases. Typical deal: $50K-$250K, 3-9 month payback, paid from daily or weekly revenue. Factor rates for 5+ year GCs run 1.18-1.32.

Do you finance heavy equipment?+

Yes. Excavators, lifts, wheel loaders, skid steers, service trucks, trailers — all qualify for equipment financing at 85-100% of invoice. Terms typically 5-7 years.

How does construction lending differ from regular business lending?+

Lenders we work with understand project-based revenue (lumpy not smooth), retention holds, change-order delays, and the AR cycle from pay-app to deposit. They won't penalize your application for having a 45-60 day AR when the numbers justify it.

Will a mechanic's lien on my record hurt my application?+

Depends on the nature. An old closed lien from a subcontractor dispute is workable. Open active liens are harder but not disqualifying — we'll tell you upfront which funders will work with your profile.

Can I get funding to improve my bond capacity?+

Yes. Working capital loans directly support bondability because surety underwriters look at cash on hand. A LOC or term loan improves your balance sheet and unlocks larger bonded jobs typically within 60-90 days.

Do you work with specialty trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC)?+

Absolutely. Specialty contractors often have steadier revenue than GCs and qualify for the best rates. Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, painting, flooring — all funded routinely.

What if my business is seasonal (e.g. concrete, paving)?+

Seasonal construction is funded routinely. Lenders understand summer-heavy revenue and structure repayment accordingly. Revolving lines of credit are often the best fit — draw in the off-season, pay down during peak months.

Do you finance vehicles for my fleet?+

Yes. Service trucks, dump trucks, vans, trailers — all qualify for equipment financing at competitive rates. Commercial vehicles depreciate predictably, making them easy to finance.

What SBA programs work for construction companies?+

SBA 7(a) for working capital, expansion, or equipment up to $5M. SBA 504 for real estate (buying a yard or office). SBA Veterans Advantage waives fees on 7(a) up to $350K for veteran-owned firms. We can pre-qualify you for SBA in 48 hours.
