What to know

Roofing contractor loans cover different jobs, so begin with the use of funds and the date you need the money. A truck, trailer, or lift has a clear purchase price and useful life; equipment financing can tie repayment to that asset. Payroll, supplier orders, and emergency repairs may call for a line of credit or working capital. A second location or acquisition is a larger, longer-term project that may fit a business term loan or SBA financing if you have time for underwriting. The product label matters less than whether its payment schedule fits the way your jobs get billed and paid.

A line of credit is reusable, which can help when job timing shifts or supplier bills come due before customer invoices are paid. As of July 2026, through our funding partner, the stated minimum is a 600 credit score, 6 months in business, and $10K+/month in revenue. The stated cost is Prime + 3% to mid-20s APR, plus a 1–3% draw fee. That fee can add up if you draw often, so compare the cost of the amount you expect to use, not just the available limit. Working capital may move faster for a short-term need: partner funding can be as fast as 24 hours, with a stated minimum of 550 credit, 6 months in business, and $10K+/month in revenue. Its factor rate is 1.15–1.40 (≈25–60%+ APR). Check the full repayment amount and payment frequency against expected job receipts before taking speed as the deciding factor.

For a defined expansion, a term loan offers a fixed amount and repayment plan. As of July 2026, through our funding partner, the stated range is $25K–$1M+, with 1–5 year terms; minimums are 600 credit, 12 months in business, and $100K+/year in revenue. The stated cost is high single digits–low teens APR for strong files and 18–35% APR for thin files. SBA loans can suit a larger, multi-year project when you can assemble more documentation and wait through a longer process. Partner terms list a 640 credit minimum, 24 months in business, $100K+/year in revenue, and funding in 30–90 days (Express under 30). Compare the Worcester-area refinancing guide for roofing business loans if existing payments are squeezing cash needed for crews or materials.

Eligibility floors are starting points, not approval promises. A lender may also review recent bank statements, tax returns, existing debt payments, equipment quotes, and evidence of booked work or receivables. Make the request easier to assess by stating the purchase or cash-flow need, how much is required, when payment is due, and which incoming jobs or invoices will repay it. A common mismatch is borrowing on a daily or weekly schedule when customer receipts arrive later; map the payment dates against the actual billing cycle first. For roofing business loans, compare total repayment, payment frequency, fees, and any early-payoff terms—not only the advertised rate or funding speed.
