What to know

Roofing contractor loans are not one product. The right fit depends on whether the purchase itself can secure financing, whether cash will return quickly from a job, and how much time your business has been operating. Match the repayment period to the useful life of the asset or the expected receipt from a project. A truck expected to earn for years can support a longer payment schedule; a payroll gap tied to an unpaid invoice calls for a shorter bridge and a clear repayment source.

As of July 2026, through our funding partner, equipment financing ranges from $10K–$5M, costs 8–25% APR, and may fund in 3–7 days. The partner’s listed minimums are 580 credit, 6 months in business, and $100K in annual revenue; 0% down is often available at 650+ credit. These are partner terms, not a guaranteed offer. Equipment financing is the natural starting point for a service truck, trailer, or machinery purchase. Compare the financed amount, any required cash down, fees, and total payments with the asset’s expected work life. A low initial payment can still leave you paying for equipment after it stops earning.

For payroll, materials, or an emergency repair, a revolving line and a working-capital advance solve different timing problems. As of July 2026, through our funding partner, a business line of credit ranges from $10K–$250K, has a setup time of 1–3 days and same-day draws, and requires at least 600 credit, 6 months in business, and $10K monthly revenue. Its stated cost is Prime + 3% to mid-20s APR, plus a 1–3% draw fee. It can suit repeat short-cycle needs, such as buying materials at a supplier discount or covering payroll until a customer pays. Draw only what the job can repay, and check whether fees apply each time you use the line.

As of July 2026, through our funding partner, working capital ranges from $10K–$500K, runs 3–24 months, and can fund as fast as 24 hours. The partner lists a 1.15–1.40 factor rate (≈25–60%+ APR), with minimums of 550 credit, 6 months in business, and $10K monthly revenue. Speed can be useful when a crew or material order cannot wait, but short repayment windows can strain cash flow between jobs. Ask for the total dollar repayment and payment frequency; don’t compare a factor rate directly with an APR without accounting for how often payments are collected.

A business term loan can fit hiring, expansion, or a larger equipment purchase when the company has established revenue and can wait several days. As of July 2026, through our funding partner, term loans range from $25K–$1M+, run 1–5 years, and fund in 2–5 days (as fast as 48 hours under $250K). Listed minimums are 600 credit, 12 months in business, and $100K annual revenue. SBA loans are a slower route for larger, longer-term plans: the partner lists $50K–$5M+, 10–25-year terms (working capital ≤10 years; real estate ≤25), funding in 30–90 days (Express under 30), and minimums of 640 credit, 24 months in business, and $100K annual revenue. The partner’s stated SBA cost is Prime + 2.75–4.75%. Don’t treat the longest term as automatically cheapest overall; check total interest and whether the loan’s use and timeline fit the project.

Before applying, gather recent business bank statements, revenue records, time-in-business details, and a quote or invoice for the truck or equipment. Compare the same amount and repayment period across offers, including origination or draw fees, payment frequency, collateral, and any personal guarantee. Credit minimums are starting floors listed by the funding partner, not approval thresholds: lenders can weigh cash flow, existing debt, deposit history, and the financed asset.
