Flooring means large material buys and labor before a job wraps. Flooring contractor funding fronts materials and payroll so a big commercial or builder job is an opportunity, not a cash squeeze.
What flooring business owners fund
- Materials — front hardwood, tile, carpet and LVP for big jobs
- Equipment — sanders, saws, trailers and tools
- Crews & payroll — staff up for large installs
- Vehicles — vans and trucks to add crews
Builder accounts pay on their schedule, not yours. A line of credit fronts material and labor so you can take the job now and get paid later.
Funding options
Working capital and a line of credit front materials and payroll; equipment financing covers tools and trailers; invoice factoring and construction financing bridge builder and commercial accounts.
