When the last check clears before the next job starts

Contractors, installers, event companies, agencies and anyone else paid by the project know the pattern. One job wraps, the final payment arrives, and then there are two or three weeks before the next one mobilizes. Crews still need to be paid if you want to keep them. Trucks, insurance and rent do not pause. The next job may even need materials bought before it starts.

Funding for cash flow gaps between jobs keeps the business steady through that stretch. We offer working capital from $25,000 to $5,000,000, and the application takes about 5 minutes.

How funders read lumpy deposits

Project businesses rarely show smooth monthly revenue, and underwriters who work with them expect that. What they weigh:

Keep the crew together

The real cost of a gap is often losing good people to a competitor who has work this week. Owners use gap funding for payroll, for deposits on materials for the next job, and for the equipment repairs they put off while busy. If you are lining up the next project, see our page on funding for a new contract start.

Products that suit project work

A business line of credit fits recurring gaps well: draw when a job ends, repay when the next one pays. Working capital suits a single larger gap. Revenue-based financing can work when repayment should flex with incoming deposits. Sole proprietors can apply for each.

No surprises in the offer

Each offer shows the full repayment amount and the repayment schedule before you accept, so you can map it against when your next job is expected to pay.

Frequently Asked Questions

My deposits are uneven. Can I still apply?

Yes. Funders who work with project businesses expect uneven deposits. They look at activity across about three months of statements, your existing obligations and your credit rather than one slow week.

Does a signed contract help?

It can. A contract or scheduled job helps explain a quiet period in the statements. It is weighed alongside your deposit history.

Can I use the money for payroll between jobs?

Yes. Keeping crews paid between jobs is one of the most common uses, along with materials for the next project and catching up on repairs.

Is a line of credit better than a lump sum for this?

If gaps happen several times a year, a line of credit lets you draw only when needed. For one larger gap, a lump sum of working capital is simpler.

How soon can funds arrive?

Funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses. Applying as a job winds down gives you time before the gap hits.

Crew payroll $28,000.00
Next-job materials $19,500.00
Truck repairs $7,800.00
