What to know

Roofing contractor loans are not one product. Match the financing to the purchase and the time you have to repay it. A truck, trailer, lift, or other durable asset can fit equipment financing because the asset supports the loan and the repayment term can follow its useful life. A payroll gap or supplier bill is different: a revolving line of credit can suit recurring short-cycle needs, while working capital may be available faster but can cost more. For a large expansion or acquisition, SBA financing may offer a longer repayment window if you can wait through underwriting.

As of July 2026, through our funding partner, equipment financing terms are $10K–$5M, 8–25% APR, and funding in 3–7 days. The listed floors are a 580 credit score, 6 months in business, and $100K in annual revenue; 0% down is often available at 650+ credit. A business line of credit lists $10K–$250K, revolving terms, setup in 1–3 days with same-day draws, and minimums of 600 credit, 6 months in business, and $10K monthly revenue. It can make sense when a draw funds a job or inventory need that turns into cash quickly. Those figures are partner terms, not guaranteed approvals or standing offers.

Speed and cost trade off. As of July 2026, through our funding partner, working capital is listed at $10K–$500K, with 3–24 month terms and funding as fast as 24 hours. Its 1.15–1.40 factor rate is approximately 25–60%+ APR. That speed can help when an emergency repair or payroll cannot wait, but compare the total repayment and payment frequency against the cash the job will produce. A line of credit can be a better fit for repeat, short-lived gaps; borrowing a large amount for a long period may call for a term loan or SBA option instead.

For established businesses planning a larger move, SBA loans list $50K–$5M+, 10–25 year terms (working capital up to 10 years; real estate up to 25), and funding in 30–90 days, with Express under 30 days. Through our funding partner, listed qualification floors are 640 credit, 24 months in business, and $100K in annual revenue; costs are Prime + 2.75–4.75%. These timelines make SBA financing a poor match for a repair truck needed this week, but potentially relevant to expansion, acquisition, or consolidating expensive advances.

Before applying, check the lender’s actual floors and prepare recent bank statements, revenue records, time-in-business details, and a clear use for the funds. Credit score alone does not show whether seasonal cash flow can support daily or weekly payments. Roofing revenue can arrive after materials, labor, and subcontractor costs are paid; estimate when each job’s invoices will be collected and leave room for weather delays or change orders. If a job is already complete but the customer has not paid, invoice factoring may be worth comparing when the receivable qualifies. It has different eligibility: partner terms as of July 2026 list no minimum credit score, but require 3 months in business and $25K–$50K monthly in factorable B2B or B2G invoices.

Austin contractors should also distinguish the need from the location. A local job pipeline, seasonality, and distance between crews can shape how much working cash is useful, but lenders still assess business revenue, operating history, credit, and repayment capacity under the product’s criteria.
