A line of credit for contractors who get paid after the work is done.

Construction and home services businesses carry two clocks at once. Materials and crew payroll come due on a weekly rhythm, while the customer, the general contractor, or the insurance carrier pays on theirs. A business line of credit is built for that gap: capital you draw when a job starts and repay when the check clears, rather than a new loan for every project.

Where the pressure shows up

Materials are paid for up front

Lumber, fixtures, and specialty materials are usually purchased before the first draw on a job. On several active projects that adds up to a real working-capital requirement.

Crews are paid weekly

Labor does not wait for retainage. Payroll, subcontractor invoices, and benefits run on their own schedule no matter where a job stands on the punch list.

Retainage and slow receivables

Final payment is often held back for weeks or months after the work is complete. The work is done, but the cash is not in the account yet.

How a line of credit helps

  • Purchase materials at the start of a project instead of rationing them across jobs.
  • Cover weekly payroll during a gap between draws or a weather delay.
  • Bridge retainage and 45-day receivables without turning down the next bid.

Permitted uses are set by the terms of the specific facility. Nothing on this page is a statement of eligibility.

Nationwide by design — availability confirmed state by state

Best Line of Credit is a direct lender providing business lines of credit to established U.S. businesses. We are not a loan broker, a lending marketplace, or a comparison service, and we do not match applicants with third-party lenders. Credit lines range from $25,000 to $750,000. APRs starting at 8.99% — actual APR depends on creditworthiness, underwriting, approval, and applicable loan terms, and not all applicants will qualify for the lowest advertised APR. Closing and funding can occur in as quickly as 5 days; timing depends on eligibility, documentation, approval, and the specific transaction, and is not guaranteed. Availability is confirmed state by state. Submitting an inquiry is not an approval, a preapproval, or a commitment to lend. Legal entity details, licenses, and required disclosures will be published once confirmed.
