Why this exists

Why the usual lenders say no.

Your revenue is real. The problem is the form. Here is why traditional underwriting turns away healthy operators in this space, and what we do differently.

01

Insufficient credit history

Big banks often reject contractors with thin files or recent credit fluctuations.

Our partners evaluate your project pipeline and equipment utility instead of just FICO.
02

Seasonal cash flow

Traditional lenders dislike the peaks and valleys typical of construction revenue.

We match you with lenders who understand seasonal off-months in the trade cycle.
03

Collateral questions

Standard commercial loans require real estate assets that many shops lack.

Many of our partners use the equipment you are purchasing as the primary collateral.

Questions we get asked

Frequently asked.

Leasing preserves cash flow with lower monthly payments, often ranging from 1.5 to 3 percent of equipment cost, while buying increases asset value but requires larger upfront capital and handles depreciation differently over a 3 to 5 year horizon.
