What to know

Roofing contractor loans are not one product. A financed work truck, a gap between completing a roof and collecting an invoice, and a multi-year expansion have different cash needs and repayment patterns. Match the borrowing period to the use: equipment financing is tied to an asset, revolving credit can cover repeated short cycles, working capital is built for urgent short-term needs, and an SBA loan can suit a larger project when a longer process is workable.

As of July 2026, through our funding partner, equipment financing offers amounts of $10K – $5M, terms matched to asset life, costs of 8–25% APR, and funding in 3 – 7 days. The stated minimums are a 580 credit score, 6 months in business, and $100K+/year revenue; often 0% down at 650+ credit. That can fit a roofing company purchasing a vehicle or specialty equipment, but the asset, its useful life, and the requested amount affect the match. Confirm what the lender will finance and whether the down payment applies to your file before counting on it.

For operating cash, a business line of credit and working capital differ in how the money is accessed and repaid. As of July 2026, through our funding partner, the line offers $10K – $250K, revolving terms, setup in 1–3 days and same-day draws; its stated minimums are 600 credit, 6 months in business, and $10K+/month revenue. It can suit recurring seasonal gaps or a supplier bill when repayment follows soon after. Working capital offers $10K – $500K for 3 – 24 months and funding as fast as 24 hours, with minimums of 550 credit, 6 months in business, and $10K+/month revenue. Its factor rate is 1.15–1.40 (≈25–60%+ APR), so speed can carry a high cost; compare the total repayment and payment frequency against the cash the job will generate.

Business line of credit	$10K – $250K; setup 1–3 days, same-day draws	Repeated short-cycle needs
Working capital	$10K – $500K; factor rate 1.15–1.40; as fast as 24 hours	Urgent payroll, inventory, or repairs
SBA loans	$50K – $5M+; 10 – 25 years; 30–90 days (Express under 30)	Larger, multi-year projects

SBA loans may make more sense for expansion, acquisition, or consolidating expensive short-term debt when the business can wait through underwriting. As of July 2026, through our funding partner, SBA terms cost Prime + 2.75–4.75%; working capital terms are ≤10 years and real estate terms are ≤25 years. The qualification floors are 640 credit, 24 months in business, and $100K+/year revenue. Those are starting thresholds, not a promise of approval. A lender may also examine tax returns, bank statements, current obligations, and the business plan; incomplete records or uneven deposits can slow an application even when headline thresholds are met.

Honolulu contractors should also account for the purchase and job schedule: a financing timeline only helps if it lands before the equipment is needed or the cash gap comes due.

Before applying, estimate the monthly payment your booked work can support, separate equipment costs from operating cash, and gather recent business bank statements and revenue records.
