Contract Financing Questions
Commercial construction contractors, subcontractors, and manufacturers need cash flow before a project starts to secure equipment, buy insurance, cover payroll, and many other critical business expenses.
A contract loan is one option for contractors, subcontractors and manufacturers to borrow the funds they need.
You can learn more about commercial construction financing and contract loans by reading About Construction and Manufacturing Loans.
Many commercial construction contractors wait until after a project has started to seek funding, but this approach can have serious consequences. The best strategy is to consider the cost and method of any needed capital during the bidding process of a job.
Despite sizable growth in the industry, construction and manufacturing are still considered high-risk for many lenders. Many contractors simply cannot qualify for traditional bank or SBA loans. Due to the nature of the industry, you may need financing to cover project expenses, bond premiums, labor and materials costs before you receive your first payment.
Alternative lenders provide commercial construction contractors the financing they need when they need it. These lenders allow companies to take on more risk, bid competitively on bigger projects, and grow their business.
