Funding for your situation

Concrete company with an existing advance: how a second position is reviewed.

What decides whether a concrete company with an open advance can add more funding, what a review compares, and a worked example.

✓ Checking what you qualify for does not affect your credit score.

Where the cash gap comes from

An open advance changes which products fit a concrete company, not whether the conversation can happen. Materials are bought before the pour and invoices follow, often in progress payments. The daily or weekly debit is already part of that picture.

Merchant Fund Express is a funding marketplace: you apply once, and the file is matched to the structure that fits it. The sections below show what this situation usually costs, how a funder reads it, and what to prepare.

Typical useMore capital with an advance already open
TimelineSame-day decision on a complete file; funding typically the next business day after signing
CreditMinimum FICO is 500; better credit means better offers
DocumentsAbout three months of business bank statements and a short application

What it looks like on the ground: a developer wants a full slab schedule, and concrete is due at the plant before the first payment.

Compliance touchpoints for a concrete company often include contractor license and insurance and bonding, which can come up when the request involves a new site, a purchase or a significant change.

A concrete company file is read through material cost versus invoice timing, weather-related gaps and equipment already financed.

Materials are bought before the pour and invoices follow, often in progress payments. A reviewer sees that pattern in the statements before reading a word of the application.

A worked example: the debit against deposits

ItemIllustrative amount
Position 1: taken for truck and trailer (remaining balance, illustrative)$13,500
Position 1 weekly debit$500
Average weekly deposits at a concrete company (illustrative)$5,000
Debit as a share of weekly depositsabout 10%
New need under discussion: a mixer drum and gearbox or a new pour crew (illustrative)$10,500
Whether a second position fitsdecided by negative days, NSFs and the average daily balance

What a review compares. The remaining balance, the share of deposits already committed and how the account has behaved. Read negative days and NSFs and second position funding.

What gets compared

The first advance

Balance, debit and payment history, and what it financed: truck and trailer.

Deposits at a concrete company

Materials are bought before the pour and invoices follow, often in progress payments.

Room on the account

Negative days, NSFs and the average daily balance, read against pour windows follow weather, and winter pauses many sites.

Which product fits

Second position, renewal or refinance, depending on how much has been paid down.

Where owners go wrong

Hiding an open position; it is visible on the statements
Taking a second advance for a mixer drum and gearbox without checking what it does to the first
Ignoring the first agreement's terms on additional financing
Sizing the new request to the busy season when pour windows follow weather, and winter pauses many sites.

How the file gets read

Number of open positions and how long each has been paid
Total debits as a share of deposits
Negative days, NSFs and average daily balance
Whether the existing funder allows another position
Material cost versus invoice timing
Weather-related gaps

These are the same factors described on revenue and deposit requirements and time in business. Merchant Fund Express walks you through how your own file reads before you apply.

Your checklist before you apply

Three months of business bank statements

Common questions

Can a concrete company with an open advance get more funding?

Often, depending on position count and account behavior. Look at second position funding, renewals and MCA refinance. Merchant Fund Express reviews the file the same day it is complete.

How is a second position different from a renewal?

A second position sits behind the first on the same revenue. A renewal comes after the first is substantially paid down. See first position vs second position.

What documents does a concrete company need?

Three months of business bank statements, the existing agreement or a payoff letter, and the job contract or bid.

What credit score do I need?

The minimum FICO is 500, and better credit means better products and terms. See credit score requirements for how the tiers work.
