What to know

Roofing contractor loans are not one product. Start with what the money will buy and when the business can repay it. A financed vehicle or machine has a clear asset attached to the request; payroll, supplier deposits, and weather-related gaps need flexible cash. Jersey City firms should also consider when a project’s customer payment is due, whether a storm-season backlog is reliable, and how much cash must stay available for labor, insurance, and materials.

For a truck, trailer, or specialty machine, equipment financing ties the request to the asset and may match payments to its useful life. As of July 2026, through our funding partner, equipment financing is $10K – $5M, costs 8–25% APR, and can fund in 3 – 7 days. Stated minimums are 580 credit, 6 months in business, and $100K+/year revenue; often 0% down at 650+ credit. That down-payment possibility is not automatic. The asset, borrower file, and lender decision matter, so price the full payment schedule and ask whether delivery, installation, or upfit costs qualify.

For near-term cash needs, a line of credit or working capital can be more practical than financing equipment. A line lets a contractor draw for a short-cycle need such as payroll while waiting on a customer payment, then reuse available credit as it is repaid. As of July 2026, through our funding partner, the line ranges from $10K – $250K, with setup in 1–3 days and same-day draws; stated minimums are 600 credit, 6 months in business, and $10K+/month revenue. Its cost is Prime + 3% to mid-20s APR, plus 1–3% draw fee. Working capital may fund as fast as 24 hours, but the 1.15–1.40 factor rate (≈25–60%+ APR) can make a short advance expensive. Reserve it for a defined gap with a credible repayment source, not a recurring mismatch between job costs and collections.

Need	Partner terms as of July 2026	Stated minimums	Typical fit
Truck or equipment purchase	$10K – $5M; 8–25% APR; 3 – 7 days	580 credit; 6 months; $100K+/year	Asset purchase with payments matched to its life
Flexible short-cycle cash	$10K – $250K line; setup 1–3 days, same-day draws	600 credit; 6 months; $10K+/month	Payroll timing, supplier discounts, seasonal gaps
Urgent short-term cash	$10K – $500K; 1.15–1.40 factor rate (≈25–60%+ APR); as fast as 24 hours	550 credit; 6 months; $10K+/month	A specific emergency or inventory need
Expansion or acquisition	$50K – $5M+ SBA; 10 – 25 years; 30–90 days (Express under 30)	640 credit; 24 months; $100K+/year	Larger, planned multi-year investment

An established company with a second location, hiring plan, or expensive short-term debt to refinance may consider a business term loan or SBA financing. As of July 2026, through our funding partner, term loans range from $25K – $1M+, with 1 – 5 year terms and funding in 2 – 5 days (as fast as 48h under $250K); stated minimums are 600 credit, 12 months in business, and $100K+/year revenue. SBA loans offer longer repayment windows and lower stated pricing, but take more time and require a stronger operating history. When speed is the priority, compare the cost of a faster product against the value of waiting for a longer-term option.

Common qualification problems are thin or inconsistent records, recent time in business, and revenue that is seasonal or concentrated in a few jobs. Prepare recent business bank statements, tax returns, debt schedules, equipment quotes, and signed contracts or invoices. Lenders may assess credit, deposits, existing daily or weekly payments, and whether the proceeds directly support revenue. Avoid using a short-term advance to cover costs that recur every month without a plan to correct the cash gap.
