What to know

Roofing equipment financing is usually the most direct starting point when the money is for a specific asset such as a work truck, trailer, lift, or specialty machinery. As of July 2026, through our funding partner, equipment financing terms include amounts of $10K–$5M, 8–25% APR, and funding in 3–7 days. The stated minimums are a 580 credit score, 6 months in business, and $100K+/year in revenue; often 0% down at 650+ credit. The financed asset helps define the request, but approval still depends on the business and the equipment. Check whether the quoted term suits the asset’s useful life, and account for insurance, installation, and maintenance in the full purchase cost.

When the need is recurring or short term, compare a business line of credit with working capital. A line of credit can suit seasonal gaps, supplier purchases, or payroll timing when invoices are expected soon; as of July 2026, through our funding partner, it lists $10K–$250K, revolving terms, setup in 1–3 days, and same-day draws. Its stated cost ranges from Prime + 3% to the mid-20s APR, plus a 1–3% draw fee. The partner’s minimums are a 600 credit score, 6 months in business, and $10K+/month in revenue. Working capital may fit an urgent payroll, inventory, or repair expense when speed matters more than a long repayment period. Its partner terms list $10K–$500K over 3–24 months, with funding as fast as 24 hours; the factor rate is 1.15–1.40 (approximately 25–60%+ APR). Its stated floors are 550 credit, 6 months in business, and $10K+/month in revenue. Compare the total repayment and payment frequency with the cash expected from the job.

A business term loan may be a better match for a planned expansion, hiring, marketing, or equipment purchase under $100K when you want a fixed amount and repayment schedule. As of July 2026, through our funding partner, terms list $25K–$1M+ over 1–5 years, with funding in 2–5 days (as fast as 48 hours under $250K). The partner’s stated floors are a 600 credit score, 12 months in business, and $100K+/year in revenue. The stated cost is high single digits to low teens APR for strong files and 18–35% APR for thin files. A roofing company with a larger expansion or acquisition in mind may consider SBA financing, which carries a slower timeline but longer terms. As of July 2026, through our funding partner, SBA terms list $50K–$5M+, 10–25 years, and funding in 30–90 days (Express under 30); the stated minimums are 640 credit, 24 months in business, and $100K+/year in revenue. SBA working capital terms are up to 10 years, while real estate terms are up to 25 years.

Financing path	Better fit	Partner timing and qualification floors
Equipment financing	A named vehicle or machine	3–7 days; 580 credit, 6 months in business, $100K+/year
Line of credit	Repeat short-cycle costs	Setup 1–3 days; 600 credit, 6 months, $10K+/month
Working capital	Urgent short-term cash need	As fast as 24 hours; 550 credit, 6 months, $10K+/month
SBA loan	Larger, multi-year expansion	30–90 days; 640 credit, 24 months, $100K+/year

These figures are partner terms as of July 2026, not a guarantee or standing offer. Qualification floors are useful screening points, not promises of approval: lenders may also review bank activity, existing debt, time to collect on invoices, and whether revenue is steady enough to support payments. Roofing contractors can get tripped up by applying for a short-term product to fund an asset that will take years to pay for, or by borrowing against projected job revenue before the customer’s payment timing is clear. Match the funding term to the expense and pressure-test repayment against a slower collection month.

Use the Arizona links below to narrow by location or need: fast funding, weaker credit, or a no-money-down equipment search. Before applying, have recent business bank statements, a clear use for funds, equipment details or invoices, and a realistic repayment plan ready. That preparation makes it easier to compare offers on total cost, payment schedule, fees, and funding speed rather than choosing on the headline amount alone.
