Winning the bid is the easy part

A contract twice the size of your usual job changes your cash flow overnight. Mobilization, bonding, materials, a larger crew and maybe an extra superintendent all hit in the first month. The first pay app might be 45 days out, and retainage holds back part of every payment until closeout. Contractors who are profitable on paper still get squeezed by that timing.

Front-end costs on a large job

CostWhen it hits

Added crew and supervisionEvery week
Equipment rentalsOngoing
Insurance and bonding requirementsBefore notice to proceed

Revenue from the job typically starts only after the first pay app is approved.

How we help

We fund working capital for construction companies from $25,000 to $5,000,000. The amount is based mainly on about three months of business bank deposits and your existing obligations, so it reflects what the current business can carry while the new job ramps up. If your needs come in waves across the job, a business line of credit may fit better. You can also compare a merchant cash advance if your deposits come from many smaller jobs.

Apply before mobilization

Our application takes about five minutes. We start with a soft credit pull, consider FICO 500+, and ask for about three months of bank statements with no tax returns. Decisions move fast, and qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours. Applying as soon as the award is confirmed gives you time to review the offer carefully.

Match repayment to the pay app calendar

Your offer shows the full repayment amount and the repayment schedule before you accept. Lay that schedule next to the contract's billing calendar and retainage terms. Make sure the payments are covered by your existing work during the first 60 days, before the big job is paying you consistently.

What if the job runs longer than planned? Schedule slips are common on large jobs. Build a cushion into your cash plan and check that the repayment schedule in your offer still works if the first pay app arrives a few weeks late.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I apply before the contract is signed?

You can apply anytime, but most owners wait for a confirmed award so they know exactly what the job needs.

Does the size of the contract determine my offer?

Not directly. The offer is based mainly on your recent deposits and existing obligations.

Can I use the funds for bonding-related costs?

Working capital can cover many front-end costs, including expenses tied to meeting bonding and insurance requirements.

What if retainage holds back a large share of each payment?

Factor retainage into your cash plan and check that the repayment schedule in your offer works without it.

How quickly can I get funded after winning the bid?

Qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours after approval.

Can a sole proprietor contractor apply for a large job?

Yes. Sole proprietors can apply if the business shows steady deposits.
