Your electricians get paid weekly. Your GC does not pay weekly.

Electrical work runs on skilled labor, and skilled labor expects a paycheck every Friday. Your revenue does not keep that rhythm. Progress billing goes out at the end of the month, the general contractor pays thirty or more days later, and retainage stays held until closeout. Meanwhile you are paying journeymen, apprentices and a foreman on a rough-in that will not be billed for weeks.

Payroll funding for electrical contractors covers that stretch so your crew stays paid and stays with you. In a tight labor market, missing payroll even once can cost you a good electrician.

How we look at a contracting business

We review about three months of business bank statements to see how money moves through your company: GC payments, service call revenue, change order payments and any residential or light commercial work. Lumpy deposits are normal in contracting. What we care about is that deposits come in steadily over time.

Funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses.

Choosing between a lump sum and a draw

If payroll gets tight once, while you wait on a large pay app, working capital for electrical contractors handles it with one deposit. If the gap shows up every month because of how your GCs pay, a business line of credit lets you draw for each payroll and repay as payments land. Shops with heavy service-call card volume may also look at a merchant cash advance.

Fixing the timing over time

Funding buys you room; use it to tighten the cycle. Submit pay apps on the first allowable day, track retainage by job, push for mobilization payments on bigger contracts and balance long commercial jobs with quicker-paying service work. Our electrical contractor cash flow guide has more ideas.

Ready when payday is close

Have your recent bank statements ready and know how many payroll cycles you need to cover. Then apply online. It takes about five minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use funding to make payroll while waiting on a GC payment?

Yes. Bridging payroll while you wait on progress payments or retainage is one of the most common uses for electrical contractors.

My deposits are uneven from month to month. Does that hurt?

Uneven deposits are normal in contracting. Funders look at the overall pattern and steadiness over time, along with existing obligations.

Do I need to show my contracts or pay apps?

No. We review about three months of business bank statements. No tax returns are required.

How fast can payroll funding arrive?

Decisions move fast, and funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses.

Will I know the total cost?

Yes. Your offer shows the full repayment amount and repayment schedule before you accept, with no surprise costs after you sign.

I run a small shop as a sole proprietor. Can I apply?

Yes. Sole proprietors can apply. We review your business bank statements the same way we would for a larger contractor.
