What are Construction Business Loans, Financing or Funding?
Construction business loans help companies in the residential and commercial construction industry get the funding they need to complete projects on budget and on time. A small business construction loan can be used to pay workers, rent equipment, buy building materials, and more to ensure that all contracted work can be completed and paid for.
How Construction Business Loans & Financing Work
Small business construction loans are short-term loans that businesses use to complete construction of a residential or business property. Once the project is done, the buyer pays the construction company either through lending of their own, or in cash. Construction business loans can help pay for all the different operations of a construction enterprise whether large or small.
