Best Business Loans for Contractors & Construction Companies
Operating a construction business demands significant capital investment. It necessitates the acquisition and maintenance of construction equipment, the recruitment of personnel to facilitate growth, and the promotion of services to attract clientele. A steady cash flow is imperative for success in this industry. This is where Configure Capital offers its expertise—we provide working capital to construction companies to ensure optimal operational capacity.
It is important for business owners to concentrate on core activities rather than preoccupying themselves with fluctuations in seasonal cash flow. We offer reliable support in this regard. Our commitment lies in assisting contractors in their pursuit of the American dream. Regardless of whether your enterprise focuses on substantial construction projects or smaller residential renovations, we are equipped to furnish the necessary financing to propel your endeavors forward.
Benefits of Construction Loans
The construction and renovation sectors, encompassing both residential and commercial real estate, are experiencing significant growth. This expansion has led to increased opportunities for builders, general contractors, and specialized trades professionals such as electricians and plumbers.
However, in light of seasonal consumer demands, access to working capital has become increasingly paramount. Even during peak seasons, businesses have the option to utilize commercial construction loans to cover expenses such as supplies, payroll, and general operational costs. There are numerous loan programs available to meet your specific requirements.
No Personal Guarantee Needed
Unsecured construction loan lenders at Configure Capital do not impose collateral requirements. We specialize in providing small business construction loans across the United States, from Maine to California, ensuring that we satisfactorily address your financial needs.

Small Businesses ❤️ Configure Capital
Highly recommend Configure Capital to other contractors
I called Configure Capital when I had an opportunity to bid on a new construction and roofing opportunity. Without the working capital provided by Configure Capital, I would not have been able to buy the materials and hire the labor necessary to complete the job. I know that I can count of them in the future to help support my company’s growth.

The 5 Best Loan Options for Contractors
1. Short-Term Loans for Construction Companies
Short-term loans are a traditional financing option with no collateral for contractors. A lender provides a fixed lump sum with a specified interest rate that you pay back to the lender based on set repayment terms.
Advantages of Short-Term Loans
- Get quick funding in one to two days.
- No collateral is needed to secure a loan.
- Both good and bad credit scores can get approved.
2. Business Line of Credit for Construction Companies
Think of a business line of credit as being similar to how credit cards work (with lower interest rates than credit cards). You are approved for a credit limit by a lender with a specified APR. You only pay interest on the amounts of funds you withdraw from your total credit line, just like a credit card.
Advantages of Line of Credit
- You only pay interest on funds you use.
- It’s always available to use when a need arises.
- Improve your personal credit score in the process.
- Pay no penalty for prepaying the balance.
3. Equipment Loans for Construction Companies
Equipment is the lifeline for all construction business owners. Contractors are always buying or repairing existing ones. With equipment financing, the lender gives you 100% of the loan amount to purchase your equipment. The equipment serves as the collateral needed for the loan. The structure is very similar to getting an auto loan with monthly payments.
Advantages of Equipment Financing
- A good credit score isn’t a requirement (since the equipment serves as collateral).
- Minimal paperwork is needed.
- Get competitive loan APRs.
4. SBA 7(a) and Microloans for Construction Companies
As the holy grail of small business loans, SBA loans are partly backed by the federal government. While interest rates for SBA loans are low, the process of getting one is lengthy and full of paperwork. Your credit score also needs to be in good shape to get approved. We help construction business owners secure SBA loans if their capital needs are further out into the future.
Advantages of SBA Loans
- SBA loans are partially backed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), providing additional security for lenders.
- They typically offer more competitive interest rates than other financing options.
- SBA loan funds can be used for any working capital needs, offering flexibility.
- They often have long loan terms, giving you more time to repay.
5. Invoice Financing / Factoring for Construction Companies
Contractors are used to having multiple outstanding invoices that are in the process of getting paid. If that’s the case for you, invoice factoring lets you get up to 100% of the invoice value from a lender. Factoring is primarily only for business-to-business (B2B) companies. So, if your services are geared towards consumers, opt for a short-term loan or business line of credit instead.
Advantages of Invoice Factoring
- It provides instant access to capital without waiting for customers to pay their invoices.
- Your invoices serve as collateral, eliminating the need for a personal guarantee.
- Approval typically depends on your customer’s credit rating rather than your own.
