What to know

A roofing company’s financing choice should follow the use of funds and repayment source. For a truck or machine that will serve the business for years, equipment financing ties the loan to a specific asset and can match payments to its useful life. For payroll, materials, or a seasonal cash gap, a revolving line of credit can be drawn as needed and reused as it is repaid. Short-term working capital is faster for urgent bills, while an SBA loan may suit a larger expansion when the business can wait through a longer review.

As of July 2026, through our funding partner, equipment financing ranges from $10K to $5M, costs 8–25% APR, and may fund in 3–7 days. Stated minimums are a 580 credit score, six months in business, and $100K+ annual revenue; at 650+ credit, financing is often available with 0% down. Those are partner terms, not a promise of approval or a quote. The equipment itself matters: lenders may assess its age, resale value, and whether the loan amount matches the invoice. A used truck or specialized roofing machine can be evaluated differently from standard equipment.

For expenses that recur or vary month to month, a line of credit can be a better fit than borrowing one lump sum. As of July 2026, through our funding partner, lines range from $10K to $250K, with revolving terms, setup in 1–3 days, and same-day draws after setup. Stated minimums are a 600 credit score, six months in business, and $10K+ monthly revenue. The cost can range from Prime + 3% to the mid-20s APR, plus a 1–3% draw fee. Compare the fee and interest against the value of the draw—for example, whether buying materials early earns a real supplier discount or helps complete a profitable job sooner.

Option	Best fit	Partner terms as of July 2026
Equipment financing	Vehicle, trailer, or machinery purchase	$10K–$5M; 8–25% APR; 3–7 days
Business line of credit	Seasonal gaps, payroll timing, supplier purchases	$10K–$250K; revolving; setup 1–3 days, then same-day draws
Working capital	Urgent inventory, payroll, or repairs	$10K–$500K; 3–24 months; as fast as 24 hours
SBA loan	Larger expansion or acquisition	$50K–$5M+; 10–25 years depending on use; 30–90 days, Express under 30

Speed has a price. Through our funding partner, working capital has a factor rate of 1.15–1.40 (approximately 25–60%+ APR) and terms of 3–24 months. Stated minimums are a 550 credit score, six months in business, and $10K+ monthly revenue. Ask for the total repayment in dollars and the payment frequency, then check whether deposits from completed roofing jobs will cover payments through slower weeks. A fast offer can solve a timing problem but strain cash flow if a customer delays payment or weather pushes a project back.

For a larger, lower-cost project, SBA financing can be worth the wait if your records are ready. As of July 2026, through our funding partner, SBA loans range from $50K to $5M+, with terms of 10–25 years depending on use, costs of Prime + 2.75–4.75%, and funding in 30–90 days (Express under 30). Stated minimums are a 640 credit score, 24 months in business, and $100K+ annual revenue. Prepare recent bank statements, tax returns, debt details, and a clear use-of-funds plan. Incomplete records, inconsistent deposits, or a request that mixes equipment costs with working capital can slow review; separating the amounts and explaining how each will be repaid makes the request easier to assess.

Credit thresholds are screening floors, not the whole decision. Lenders may also look at time in business, monthly deposits, existing obligations, and the condition or value of financed equipment. If your score is below a product’s stated minimum, the bad-credit financing guide for roofing businesses can help compare routes by speed, cost, and credit, including lines of credit and invoice factoring. For a roofing company, invoice factoring is relevant when commercial or government customers owe on completed work; it depends on eligible unpaid invoices, so it is not a general-purpose equipment loan. Match each application to a specific purchase or cash need, and compare the payment schedule with the dates you expect customer payments to arrive.
