How a Line of Credit Can Strengthen Your Construction Business

Running a construction business means juggling rising costs, delayed payments, and constant overhead. A business line of credit gives you the flexibility to cover payroll, purchase materials, and handle the unexpected, without draining your cash reserves.

Why It Matters

In construction, cash flow timing can make or break a job. A line of credit gives you access to funds when you need them, helping you avoid late fees, seize new opportunities, and keep projects moving forward.

What You’ll Need to Qualify

Requirements vary, but most lenders look for:

  • 2 years in business
  • $300,000+ in annual revenue
  • 680+ personal credit score
  • Healthy debt-to-income ratio
  • Business bank statements

A construction line of credit is a flexible tool you can tap into as needed. Use it to:

  • Bridge cash flow gaps
  • Buy tools, materials, or equipment
  • Cover payroll or subcontractors
  • Handle emergencies
  • Take on larger jobs with confidence


The key? Set it up before you need it, so you’re always prepared.
