Working capital is what keeps the brushes moving

Most painting companies are profitable on paper and tight in the bank. The work is there, but the money for a job arrives at the end, after materials and labor have already gone out. Add retainage on commercial work, weather delays on exteriors and a customer who wants one more touch-up before paying, and cash gets thin even in a good month.

Working capital for painting contractors is money to run the business day to day: materials, payroll, insurance, fuel and the small surprises in between.

What working capital covers

If payroll is your main pressure point, our payroll funding for painting contractors page goes into more detail.

A seasonal plan, not just a patch

Exterior work tends to peak in warmer months and slow when weather turns, while interior and commercial work can fill some of the gap. Many painters use working capital to prepare for the busy stretch, buying materials and hiring early, then repay as larger jobs close out. Our cash flow guide for painting contractors covers ways to smooth the year, and the slow season funding page is there for the quieter months.

How we review your business

Apply in about 5 minutes with a soft credit pull. We look at about three months of business bank statements to see your deposit pattern. No tax returns are required. FICO scores from 500 are considered, and sole proprietors can apply. The amount depends mainly on your deposits and existing obligations, within a range of $25,000 to $5,000,000.

For illustration, a five-person crew with steady residential deposits would typically be sized differently than a commercial outfit carrying several large invoices, even if their monthly totals look similar.

Clear numbers before you commit

Your offer shows the full repayment amount and the repayment schedule up front, with no surprise costs after you sign. Funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses. Start your application.
