Get funded

Funding in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses.

Installers get paid weekly. Projects do not.

Flooring work has a built-in timing problem. Your installers, helpers, and estimators expect a paycheck every week or two. Commercial jobs often pay on progress draws or at completion, sometimes with retainage held back, and a general contractor may take weeks to process an invoice. Flooring stores can see the same squeeze when a large order is delivered and installed before the final payment clears.

Payroll funding gives you a cash cushion so crews get paid on time even when receivables run late.

Signs payroll funding could help

For illustration: a commercial flooring crew

For illustration: a flooring contractor finishes LVT and carpet tile in a medical office build-out and invoices the general contractor. Payment is expected in about a month. Meanwhile, two more jobs are starting and the crew has grown to support them. The owner uses working capital to cover several payroll cycles, keeps every installer on the schedule, and repays on the timeline laid out in the offer as payments from the GC come in.

Which product fits

For a one-time gap, working capital for flooring is straightforward. If payroll gaps come up whenever a big job is in progress, a business line of credit for flooring lets you draw only when you need it. Contractors with steady card or receivable deposits may also look at a merchant cash advance, repaid from future receivables. Our flooring cash flow guide covers how to plan around draw schedules.

What we look at

We review about three months of business bank statements and your existing obligations. No tax returns are required, FICO 500+ is considered, and sole proprietors, such as an owner-installer with a small crew, can apply. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000, depending mainly on deposits. The application takes about five minutes, starts with a soft credit pull, and qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours. Your offer shows the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept. Apply now.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the funds for installer payroll only?

Yes. Many flooring owners use working capital to cover crew payroll, and it can also go toward materials or overhead.

Does slow-paying GC work hurt my chances?

Funders look at the overall deposit pattern and existing obligations. Uneven timing is common in contracting and is one factor among several.

Do I need to show my open invoices?

They are not required to apply. We mainly review about three months of business bank statements.

How fast can I get payroll money?

Qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours, which can help you make an upcoming payroll.

Will this show up as a hard inquiry?

We start with a soft credit pull, so applying does not affect your score at that stage.

Installer payroll $45,000.00
Helper wages $14,000.00
Estimator salary $9,000.00
Overtime week $11,500.00
