Plumbers front the cost of materials and labor long before a job pays out. Plumbing business funding covers trucks, tools and materials so you can take bigger jobs without draining your bank account.
What plumbing business owners fund
- Service trucks — buy or outfit vans and work trucks
- Tools & equipment — from cameras and jetters to trenchers
- Materials & inventory — front the parts for bigger jobs
- Payroll & growth — hire techs and add trucks
Big commercial job on the books? A line of credit lets you buy the materials and staff the crew now, then repay when the job pays — you only pay interest on what you draw.
Funding options
Equipment financing and truck financing cover vehicles and tools; working capital and a line of credit front materials and payroll; invoice factoring speeds up payment on commercial jobs.
