What is working capital for construction companys?

Working capital bridges construction's built-in cash-flow gap — progress draws pay in arrears and owners hold retainage, so you front payroll and materials for weeks. Construction Capital Advance underwrites on your deposits (FICO 500+), not the contract, and funds $5,000 to $5,000,000 in as little as 24 hours, so slow draws never stall the job.

Frequently asked questions

How does working capital help with slow draws?

You draw cash now to cover payroll and materials and repay when the progress draw or retainage releases.

Can I fund certified/prevailing-wage payroll?

Yes — working capital can cover any labor cost, including certified payroll on public projects.

How fast can a contractor get working capital?

Most contractors fund within 24 hours of approval; smaller amounts can be same-day.

Can I qualify with bad credit?

Yes — FICO 500+ can qualify because approval is weighted toward revenue and deposits, not credit score.

Do I need the contract to qualify?

No — approval is based on your bank deposits, not the awarded contract, which keeps it fast.

Will checking my options affect my credit score?

No. Prequalifying uses a soft credit pull that does not affect your score. A hard pull only happens if you accept an offer.

What can I use the funds for?

Any legitimate business purpose — payroll, inventory, materials, equipment, marketing, covering a slow period, or growth. There are no restrictions on how you use the capital.

Are there any upfront or application fees?

No. Applying and getting a decision is free. Any fees are disclosed in your offer before you accept, so there are never surprises.
