What to know

Roofing equipment financing is usually the most direct place to start when the purchase itself is identifiable: a work truck, trailer, lift, or other job-site equipment. As of July 2026, through our funding partner, equipment financing ranges from $10K – $5M, with 8–25% APR, terms matched to asset life, and funding in 3 – 7 days. The partner lists a 580 minimum credit score, six months in business, and $100K+/year in revenue; it notes often 0% down at 650+ credit. These are partner terms, not a promised rate or approval. Check whether the lender takes a lien on the asset, whether used equipment is eligible, and whether the payment remains manageable in slower months.

For payroll between jobs, supplier purchases, or emergency repairs, a revolving line of credit can fit when you expect to draw and repay in short cycles. Partner terms as of July 2026 list $10K – $250K, setup in 1–3 days with same-day draws, Prime + 3% to mid-20s APR, plus 1–3% draw fee. The stated thresholds are 600 credit, six months in business, and $10K+/month revenue. Working capital is a different tradeoff: it can fund quickly, but shorter repayment and factor pricing can make the effective annual cost high. The partner lists $10K – $500K, 3 – 24 months, factor rate 1.15–1.40 (≈25–60%+ APR), and funding as fast as 24 hours, with 550 credit, six months in business, and $10K+/month revenue as minimums. Match the payoff schedule to when customer payments actually arrive.

An SBA loan may fit a roofing company with an established operating record and a larger project, acquisition, or consolidation plan. As of July 2026, through our funding partner, SBA loans are listed at $50K – $5M+, with terms 10 – 25 years (working capital ≤10, real estate ≤25), cost Prime + 2.75–4.75%, and funding 30–90 days (Express under 30). The listed floors are 640 credit, 24 months in business, and $100K+/year revenue. SBA financing may cost less for a longer-term need, but the documentation and timeline can make it a poor match for an urgent repair or payroll gap.

Need	Option to compare	What separates it
Truck, trailer, or machinery	Equipment financing	Asset-focused; partner terms list 3 – 7 days to fund
Recurring seasonal gaps	Business line of credit	Draw as needed; compare APR and draw fee
Payroll or inventory quickly	Working capital	Faster funding may come with shorter repayment and higher cost
Expansion or acquisition	SBA loan	Longer process; potentially suitable for a larger multi-year plan

For roofing company working capital, make the repayment source explicit before borrowing: a signed job, receivable, seasonal backlog, or expected margin. A lender may consider both personal and business credit, time in business, revenue, bank activity, and outstanding debt. Meeting a stated minimum does not mean a file qualifies, and a stronger credit score does not erase weak cash flow. Gather recent business bank statements, tax returns or financial statements, equipment quotes, and a debt schedule so offers can be compared on the same facts.

Fort Worth contractors often weigh speed against total cost because materials, payroll, and vehicles can all need cash before a project pays. Compare the amount deposited with the total repayment, payment frequency, fees, collateral, and any prepayment terms. If funding will support a specific purchase, compare its useful life with the loan term; if it will bridge a short gap, map repayment to customer receipts. The Fort Worth roofing financing comparison covers SBA 7(a), equipment financing, working capital, and factoring by speed, cost, and eligibility.
