Stock on the shelf wins the job

A homeowner with no AC in August will hire whoever can install a system this week. If your supply house is backordered and you didn't buy ahead, that job goes to the shop down the road. The same goes for water heaters in January and repair parts for the brands you service most. Inventory funding lets you buy before the rush, when you have more choice and fewer delays.

It also helps on the plumbing side: PEX, copper, fittings, fixtures and valves for a run of remodels or a new commercial build add up quickly, and supply houses expect to be paid on their terms, not yours.

How much inventory makes sense

Buying too much ties up cash in boxes. Buying too little costs you jobs. A few ways to size the request:

For illustration, a shop that installs a steady number of systems each summer might fund a spring purchase covering the first several weeks of peak demand rather than the whole season.

What we review

We underwrite on about three months of business bank statements, not tax returns. The amount you can get depends mostly on your deposits and the obligations already pulling from the account. FICO 500+ is considered, and sole proprietors can apply. The 5-minute application starts with a soft credit pull, and qualified contractors can be funded in as little as 24 hours.

Choosing a product

Whatever you choose, the offer shows the full repayment amount and repayment schedule before you accept. Compare that against the margin you expect on the jobs that inventory will fill.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use inventory funding to buy from my supply house?

Yes. You can use the funds to buy from distributors, supply houses or manufacturers you already work with.

Is a line of credit better for parts inventory?

If you restock regularly, a line of credit can fit better because you draw as you need. For a single large pre-season order, working capital is often simpler.

Do you need invoices from the supplier?

We underwrite mainly on your bank statements. Having supplier quotes on hand helps you request the right amount.

How quickly can I get funded?

Qualified plumbing and HVAC businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours.

What if I already have equipment financing on my trucks?

That's common. We factor existing obligations into the amount that makes sense for you.

Condensers $48,000.00
Water heaters $26,000.00
Copper and PEX $14,500.00
Repair parts $9,800.00
