Crews get paid weekly. GCs do not.

A concrete crew is paid every Friday, rain or shine. The general contractor pays on a monthly draw, often after a pay application works its way through an owner, a lender and sometimes an inspector. Add retainage held back until the end of the job, and a contractor with plenty of work can still be short on payroll. Payroll funding for concrete businesses covers that gap so your finishers, form setters and pump operators keep showing up.

Where the payroll squeeze usually comes from

Choosing a product for payroll

If the gap is a one-time crunch, working capital gives you a lump sum with a set schedule. If it happens every month between draws, a business line of credit lets you draw when payroll is due and repay as GCs pay. Some contractors prefer revenue-based financing, where repayment moves with deposits. Whatever you choose, your offer shows the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept.

How the amount is set

Offers depend mainly on your deposits and existing obligations. For illustration: a contractor with a steady pattern of GC payments landing in one account will usually get a clearer read than one whose deposits are split across several banks. Your backlog matters for your own planning, but the decision leans on what has actually been deposited.

Apply before Friday

The application takes about 5 minutes. Send about three months of business bank statements; no tax returns are required. We begin with a soft credit pull, consider FICO scores from 500, and accept applications from sole proprietors. Qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours. Start here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this funding for certified payroll on public jobs?

The funds can cover wages on any job you are running. You are still responsible for meeting the job's prevailing wage and reporting rules.

Will my retainage or receivables increase my offer?

They help explain the gap, but the offer is driven mainly by your deposits and current obligations rather than money you are still owed.

My deposits dip every winter. Is that a problem?

Funders expect seasonal patterns from concrete contractors. They look at the full picture in your statements. Our slow-season funding page covers this in more detail.

Do I need a minimum credit score?

FICO scores from 500 are considered. Credit is one factor; the steadiness of your deposits weighs heavily too. See how concrete contractors qualify.

Can a sole proprietor finisher with a small crew apply?

Yes. Sole proprietors can apply, as long as the business has steady deposits in a business account.

How fast can payroll money arrive?

Qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours, so applying early in the week gives you the most room before payday.
