Construction Factoring, Alternative to Construction Funding


According to the Construction Financial Management Association it takes some construction contractors an average of 60 days to collect on invoices.

And that’s not the half of it.  Many experienced, well run construction companies have to pass on certain jobs because they don’t have the resources to fund the project.  Getting a Line of Credit from your local bank has been difficult in the past couple years.

Factoring commercial construction loans is a simple solution to managing cash flow, meeting payroll, and paying bills on time.  Even when the General Contractor is not able or willing to pay construction invoices in a timely manner, sub-contractors can factor out their invoices for immediate working capital, without incurring debt.

It take more than a minute to fund such a project, and any company who says they can do it over night, may be using questionable marketing tactics.   The best solution is to apply for commercial construction “before” you actually need it.  In fact, while you are in the process of bidding the job, is a good time to contact your Accounts Receivable Construction Lender.  They can run a credit check on the General Contractor or the Developer, and give you inside information which can be useful in bidding the contract.

An experienced Construction Accounts Receivable Specialist is one who can sort through the factoring companies, and come up with the best Lender for you, based on 1) type of construction project 2) amount of Invoices you will want to factor per month 3) your location 4) credit rating of the General Contractor when you are a sub-contractor.
