The gap between digging and getting paid

Excavation work is front-loaded. You mobilize the machines, burn fuel, pay operators and haul off spoils long before the general contractor or owner releases a draw. On a good job the money does arrive, but it arrives on someone else's schedule. Meanwhile the next bid is due and the crew still expects a paycheck on Friday.

Working capital is meant for that stretch. It puts cash in the operating account so the business can keep moving while receivables catch up.

Where excavators actually spend it

What we review

We start with a 5-minute application and a soft credit pull. From there we look at about three months of business bank statements to see how money moves through the company: deposit size, how often draws land, and what already comes out each month. No tax returns are required, FICO 500+ is considered, and sole proprietors can apply.

This is built for established excavation outfits with steady deposits. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000, and the amount you see depends mainly on your deposits and existing obligations.

Other ways to fund an excavation company

Working capital is a lump sum for general operating needs. If you want to draw only when a job demands it, compare a business line of credit for excavation. If the need is a specific machine, equipment financing for excavation ties the funding to the asset. Our excavation cash flow guide walks through planning around retainage and slow pay.

Read the offer like a bid

You check a bid line by line before you sign it. Do the same here. Every offer shows the full repayment amount and the payment schedule before you accept. Hold that schedule against your expected draws, and ask for less if it feels tight. When the numbers work, apply in about 5 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get working capital if my general contractor pays slowly?

Slow pay is common in excavation. We look at your deposit history over about three months, so a pattern of lumpy but steady draws can still be reviewed.

Does retainage hurt my chances?

Retainage lowers what lands in your account until a job closes out. We review what actually deposits, so it shapes the amount rather than ruling you out on its own.

How fast can the money arrive?

Funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses once your statements are in.

Do you need my tax returns or job cost reports?

No tax returns are required. About three months of business bank statements and a short application are the starting point.

I run my excavation business as a sole proprietor. Can I apply?

Yes. Sole proprietors can apply, as long as the business has steady deposits running through a business bank account.

Operator payroll $48,000.00
