Common uses in construction & trades

  • Buy materials for a new contract
  • Finance an excavator or work truck
  • Cover payroll between draws
  • Bid on a larger project

Why contractors choose a term loan

You front the costs

Materials and payroll go out weeks before the progress payment comes in.

Equipment is the business

Excavators, lifts and trucks can be financed against the equipment itself.

Bigger bids need capacity

Access to capital lets you bid on the job instead of passing on it.
