Contractor financing for every phase of the job
Money goes out long before it comes in. Match each gap to the structure that closes it.
| Your goal | Best-fit funding | What you gain |
|---|---|---|
| Buy or lease excavators, trucks and trailers | Equipment financing | The equipment typically secures the deal, preserving cash for the job |
| Cover payroll and materials mid-project | Business line of credit | Draw as each phase starts and repay as progress payments arrive |
| Get paid on completed work now | Invoice factoring | Turn approved invoices into cash instead of waiting on net 30 to 90 |
| Mobilize for a larger contract | Term loan | Upfront capital for crews, permits and materials |
| Buy a yard, shop or office | Commercial real estate loan or SBA 504 | Long-term financing for long-life assets |

A tighter market rewards contractors who can move first.
U.S. construction spending ran at a $2.2 trillion annual pace in August 2026, slightly below last year. When the pie stops growing, the contractors who win are the ones with the cash to bid, bond and mobilize the moment a contract lands.
The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rate a quarter point on September 16, 2026, to a 3.75%–4.00% range, and the bank prime rate, which many variable-rate business lines of credit track, stands at 7.00%. Locking in equipment payments now keeps your bids competitive if costs move again.
