What to know

Los Angeles roofers often face a timing mismatch: crews and suppliers need cash before a project’s final payment arrives. The right roofing contractor loans depend on what the money buys and when revenue comes in. Equipment financing ties borrowing to a truck, trailer, lift, or other eligible asset. A business line of credit can cover recurring seasonal gaps if you draw only what you need and repay as invoices clear. Working capital can move faster for urgent payroll or inventory, but short repayment windows and factor pricing can make it expensive. A term loan or SBA loan may fit expansion better when the project is larger and the business can wait.

The figures below are partner terms as of July 2026, not guaranteed offers. Eligibility and final pricing depend on the application and lender review.

Equipment financing	$10K–$5M; 8–25% APR; 3–7 days. Minimum: 580 credit, 6 months in business, $100K/year revenue.	A specified truck, fleet vehicle, or piece of machinery
Working capital	$10K–$500K; 3–24 months; factor rate 1.15–1.40 (about 25–60%+ APR); as fast as 24 hours. Minimum: 550 credit, 6 months, $10K/month revenue.	Urgent materials, payroll, or emergency repairs
Business line of credit	$10K–$250K, revolving; setup in 1–3 days, draws same day. Minimum: 600 credit, 6 months, $10K/month revenue.	Repeated short-cycle needs and seasonal cash gaps
SBA loan	$50K–$5M+; 10–25 years depending on use; 30–90 days (Express under 30). Minimum: 640 credit, 24 months, $100K/year revenue.	Larger expansion, acquisition, or consolidation with time to wait

A roofing equipment financing application is strongest when the asset, quote, and business use are clear. Ask whether the lender finances the specific vehicle or machinery, whether a down payment is required for your profile, and whether the payment term fits the asset’s useful life. The partner lists 0% down as often available at 650+ credit; that is a partner term, not a promise. Don’t assume “no money down” means no fees or that every used vehicle qualifies. Compare total repayment and any required insurance or lien terms before signing.

For working capital, compare the dollars received with the total dollars repaid and the payment frequency. A factor rate is not an APR: a quoted 1.20 factor on $20,000 means $24,000 in scheduled repayment before any other charges. Short terms can strain a roofing company when weather delays work, permits hold up a start, or a customer disputes a change order. A line of credit can be more flexible for repeat needs, but its draw fees and rate can change the cost. Use it for a short-lived gap with a specific repayment source, not an ongoing cash shortfall.

Credit score is only one part of roofing contractor qualifying. The partner’s listed thresholds differ by product: equipment financing starts at 580, working capital at 550, a line of credit or term loan at 600, and SBA at 640. Time in business ranges from 6 months for equipment, working capital, or a line to 24 months for SBA. Revenue floors are $10K monthly for a line or working capital and $100K annually for equipment, term, or SBA loans. Have recent bank statements, tax returns, debt balances, project contracts, and equipment quotes ready; inconsistent deposits or existing daily/weekly payments can affect an offer even when a minimum is met.
