Landing the big job is the easy part

A large commercial build-out, a school renovation or a multi-unit project can be the best thing that happens to an electrical contractor's year. It can also be the hardest on cash. You order gear and wire up front, run a bigger crew, and then wait on draws that follow the general contractor's schedule, minus retainage. Funding for a big contract for electrical contractors keeps you moving through that stretch.

Matching funding to the draw schedule

A lump sum of working capital works if most costs land at the start. If costs are spread across phases, a line of credit lets you draw as you go. Either way, your offer lays out the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept, so you can check it against expected draws. For a plan of the whole year, our electrical contractor cash flow guide walks through it.

An example, for illustration

For illustration: a mid-sized electrical contractor wins the electrical package on a three-story medical office building. The switchgear has a long lead time and needs a deposit at award. Rough-in will need two extra electricians for several weeks, and the general contractor pays monthly draws with retainage held back until closeout. The owner sizes working capital to cover the gear deposit and the added payroll through the first two draws, then lets the job's own billing take over. Because the offer laid out the full repayment amount and schedule ahead of time, the owner could check it against the expected draw dates before accepting. That kind of planning is what keeps a big job from becoming a cash problem halfway through.

What you'll need

About three months of business bank statements and a 5-minute application. We consider FICO from 500, start with a soft credit pull and do not ask for tax returns. The amount depends mainly on your deposits and existing obligations, not the contract value alone. Apply now to see what is available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you fund based on the contract amount?

The contract helps tell the story, but the amount we can offer depends mainly on your deposits and existing obligations shown on your bank statements.

Can I use funds to cover retainage being held?

Working capital can cover costs while retainage is held back. Plan repayment around your normal deposits rather than the retainage release date.

How fast can I get funding after winning a bid?

Decisions move fast, and qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours.

Is there a minimum contract size?

No. Funding starts at $25,000 and is sized to your business, not to a minimum contract value.

What if my credit took a hit last year?

FICO scores from 500 are considered. Steady deposits carry a lot of weight in our review.

Switchgear deposit $85,000.00
Rough-in material $64,000.00
Added crew payroll $42,000.00
Lift rentals $15,500.00
