Painting contractors Funding in Florida (2026)

Why painting contractors in Florida qualify

Painting contractors are classified under Painting and Wall Covering Contractors, which is an eligible category. That takes industry off the table and leaves the same four things every file is read on: average daily balance against revenue, time in business, negative days and NSFs, and existing positions. Commercial work is eligible; residential remodelling is restricted.

The cash-cycle problem

Deposit and balance on residential; 30-60 day terms on commercial.

In Florida that usually means capital goes to materials for a signed job, sprayers, lifts, vans, crew for the season.

Weather-dependent; exterior work stops in winter.

What applies in Florida

Florida funds normally on every tier — no extra restrictions apply.

Most of this activity sits around Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, Orlando and St. Petersburg.

Vermont, North Dakota and South Dakota sit outside the lending area on every product. California and New York carry extra restrictions on the revenue-based tier.

Florida has no meaningful winter shutdown, so painting contractors run close to twelve months a year. That produces steadier deposits than the same trade in a northern state and generally reads well.

Hurricane exposure also means insurance premiums and business-interruption risk sit higher here than the national average, which shows up in fixed costs.

The published thresholds

Tier 1: 650 FICO, 3 years in business, $300,000 a year or $25,000 a month, 8+ monthly deposits.

Tier 2: 600 FICO, 6 months in business, $60,000 revenue, $800 minimum daily balance.

Renewal: 550 FICO, 2 years in business, once 50% of the original balance is repaid.

There is no hard credit cutoff here. The 650/600/550 tiers are product criteria, not a floor on the business. Scores in the 500s are placed routinely, and files in the 400s are read on revenue, deposit consistency and time in business rather than on the score alone.

Line of credit $10,000 to $350,000, from 1% per month on the drawn balance, 2.49% per draw

Term loan $10,000 to $250,000, 0% origination, weekly payments, capped at 15% of annual revenue

MCA refinance $10,000 to $100,000 on a position with a balance of $100,000 or less

Maximum two existing positions; the line of credit can sit second

Same-day decision, next business day funding on a complete file

Average daily balance of $5,000, or 10% of monthly revenue, whichever is greater. Up to 3 negative days a month, 9 per six months and up to 6 NSFs a month, 24 per six months.
