Funding for Construction Companies

Funding for construction companies are growing day by day because of new housing and renovations, construction and contracting businesses are on the rise. However, demand can be very seasonal, so you may experience significant dips in working capital. Banks typically require extensive credit and financial documentation. Also their approval processes are lengthy. Even if you are approved, it can take days to get the business loan you need and your opportunity could be gone by then.

When you work in construction finance can be tricky – the following cash flow challenges are likely a reality for your company on a daily basis:

  • Finding money to pay wages and suppliers before the main contractor settles your payment application
  • Persuading the bank to extend your overdraft facility or sourcing competitive invoice finance solutions
  • Keeping costs down as the price of raw materials increases
  • Negotiating payment with customers who think it’s fine to settle invoices on their terms, not yours

These factors, amongst others, cause regular cash flow headaches for any company working in the sector, so here is a quick guide to Invoice Finance for Construction Companies.

Finance Product for Construction Companies 

Invoice Funding for Construction Companies is a dedicated cash flow funding product designed specifically for SMEs / sub-contractors working in the cash-strapped construction industry.
We work directly in partnership with a team of experienced quantity surveyors who understand the intricacies of construction contracts and the challenges that contractors and sub-contractors face. Using a fixed rather than a variable fee model, we have removed the uncertainty associated with the costs of ‘traditional’ lending products, which is their principal downfall.
Our construction product is an innovative funding solution that is both practical and sustainable. It provides pre-payments against applications, stage payments and milestones for sub-contractors in construction or other industries, where contracts with their customers have been a barrier to finance from traditional lenders.
The product is based on a traditional factoring approach but benefits from our fixed fee model to ensure transparency on costs. Cash is advanced at an agreed percentage of the outstanding invoice application value, taking into account the longer contract terms typical within the construction sector. It is typically targeted at businesses requiring funding of up to £2 million (cash out).
