Materials and skilled labor, paid before the job is

Electrical work carries two heavy upfront costs. The first is material: wire, conduit, panels, switchgear and fixtures, often bought in volume and sometimes with long lead times on gear. The second is skilled labor. Licensed electricians and apprentices are hard to replace, so most shops keep them on payroll even when the next job slips a week.

Revenue arrives later through progress billing, with retainage held back on many commercial jobs. Service and residential work pays faster but in smaller amounts. Most electrical contractors run a mix, and the cash timing of each piece is different.

Split your work by how it pays

Service calls

Often paid at completion or within a short window. This is your fastest cash and worth protecting.

New construction and tenant improvements

Billed monthly against a schedule of values, paid on net terms, with retainage. Material buys hit before the first pay app.

Maintenance contracts

Recurring and predictable. A steady base that helps carry the rest.

Knowing what share of revenue comes from each type tells you how much cushion you need.

Tactics that free up cash

Where funding fits

Capital helps when you have won a larger job and need to buy gear and staff it before the first payment clears, or when a slow-paying general contractor stretches your cycle. We offer working capital for electrical contractors, a business line of credit for recurring gaps, and equipment financing for bucket trucks, lifts and testing equipment.

Funding runs from $25,000 to $5,000,000 based mainly on your deposits. We review about three months of business bank statements, consider FICO scores from 500, and do not require tax returns. Sole proprietor electricians can apply. Apply in about 5 minutes with a soft credit pull; qualified contractors can be funded in as little as 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I fund a switchgear order for a commercial job?

Yes. Buying materials for a job you have won is a common use. The amount depends mainly on your deposits and existing obligations.

I am a one-person shop. Can I apply?

Yes. Sole proprietors can apply as long as the business shows steady deposits.

How do you look at retainage and slow GCs?

We focus on your bank deposits over time. Retainage and slow payers affect timing, which is exactly what working capital is designed to bridge.

Is a line of credit or lump sum better for my shop?

If gaps return every billing cycle, a line of credit often fits. A lump sum suits a single large job or purchase.

What documents do I need?

About three months of business bank statements and a short application. No tax returns are needed.

Switchgear order $95,000.00
Bucket truck $130,000.00
Wire and conduit $38,000.00
Crew payroll $55,000.00
