Construction & Contractors

Business Funding for Construction Companies & Contractors

Construction businesses live and die by cash flow. Material costs are paid upfront, but payment from clients and GCs often takes 30 to 90 days. Pro Capital matches general contractors, subcontractors, and specialty trades to a bank or lender for every type of business that understand progress billing, retainage, and equipment-heavy balance sheets.

Construction is one of the largest small business segments in the U.S. — over 700,000 construction firms operate nationwide.

Common Funding Challenges for Construction & Contractors Owners

  • Payment cycles of 30–90 days create working-capital gaps between material purchase and customer payment.
  • Bonding capacity often hinges on liquid cash on hand, not project pipeline.
  • Heavy equipment purchases (excavators, lifts, trucks) require large capital outlays financed through term loans or SBA programs.
  • Banks discount accounts receivable from new GCs or government agencies.

Frequently Asked Questions

There is no loan minimum or maximum. The amount a construction company can qualify for depends on revenue, time in business, and credit profile.

Yes. There is a funding program for every credit score, including 500. Term loans and lines of credit start at 680+ FICO; other products have different requirements. Pro Capital matches you to lenders who understand construction cash flow.

Invoice factoring or a business line of credit is typically the best fit. Factoring converts unpaid invoices into immediate cash, while a line of credit gives you a reusable working-capital cushion you can draw on as needed.
