What to know

For a roofing contractor, the best loan depends on what the money will buy and when the business can repay it. A truck, trailer, lift, or other job-ready equipment may fit equipment financing because the loan is tied to an asset and its useful life. A payroll or materials gap is different: a business line of credit can support repeated short cycles, while working capital is designed for a quick, short-term need. Longer repayment and potentially lower cost may matter more than speed when financing expansion, an acquisition, or consolidation.

As of July 2026, through our funding partner, equipment financing is listed at $10K – $5M, 8–25% APR, with funding in 3 – 7 days. The listed minimums are 580 credit, 6 months in business, and $100K+/year in revenue; terms are matched to asset life, and 0% down is often possible at 650+ credit. That can suit a contractor buying a work vehicle or machinery, but compare the total repayment and any required down payment with the cash flow the asset is expected to produce. A lower monthly payment can still mean a higher total cost over a longer term.

For urgent operating expenses, the partner lists working capital at $10K – $500K, with 3 – 24 months to repay and funding as fast as 24 hours. Its stated cost is a factor rate of 1.15–1.40 (≈25–60%+ APR); minimums are 550 credit, 6 months in business, and $10K+/month in revenue. Speed can help cover payroll, inventory, or an emergency, but the short repayment window and cost can pressure cash flow. A line of credit may fit better when a roofing company has recurring seasonal gaps or can repay draws quickly after collecting from customers. Partner terms list $10K – $250K, setup in 1–3 days, same-day draws, and a cost of Prime + 3% to mid-20s APR, plus a 1–3% draw fee. Its minimums are 600 credit, 6 months in business, and $10K+/month in revenue.

For a larger project with a longer payoff horizon, the partner’s SBA terms list $50K – $5M+, 10 – 25 years (working capital ≤10, real estate ≤25), and a cost of Prime + 2.75–4.75%. Funding is listed at 30–90 days (Express under 30); minimums are 640 credit, 24 months in business, and $100K+/year in revenue. This route may suit an established company planning expansion or buying a business, but the longer application timeline makes it a poor match for an immediate equipment breakdown. The McAllen financing comparison also frames SBA, equipment, term-loan, and fast-cash options by cost, speed, and fit.

Before choosing, match the repayment schedule to how the money comes back into the business. Equipment should support completed jobs or reliable capacity; a short-term advance should be repaid from near-term receipts, not a hoped-for busy season. Lenders may look beyond a stated credit floor at bank statements, time in business, revenue consistency, existing debt, and the equipment quote. Roofing work can also involve delayed customer payments, so a signed job or expected invoice is not the same as cash already collected.

A common snag is applying for the wrong product: financing a vehicle through a general cash advance can leave a shorter repayment period than the asset’s useful life, while using a long-term loan to plug a brief payroll gap may add process and cost without solving timing. Gather a recent revenue picture, debt obligations, the purchase quote, and a realistic repayment source before comparing offers. If your credit is below a lender’s preferred threshold, use the bad-credit guide; if timing is the main constraint, start with the fast-funding guide.
