Construction Finance is a method of funding designed specifically for contractors and subcontractors.
It is a simple way of gaining a cash advance for a construction project against staged invoices or funding applications. Basically, it allows you to borrow against what you are owed.
This means that you can fund a construction project with certainty over your available funds and without having to wait for payment of outstanding invoices/applications from customers.
We do not tick box lend and we appreciate no two contracts are alike but generally payments are made upon completion at certain stages of a construction project. This is usually when a certain milestone has been completed and signed off for, for part or completed works as per the agreed schedule.
What Is the Advantage of Construction Finance?
There are several advantages of this type of funding:
- Contractors are usually able to get better terms from suppliers by paying them more promptly, or it can help ease the burden for those with which they are on pro forma terms.
- Assistance to complete (and win) lengthy contracts without the burden of restrictive loans and overdrafts.
- Unlocking cash that would be tied up in a lengthy contract.
