Frequently asked questions

Can utility & underground contractors finance equipment?
Yes. A directional drill and other utility & underground equipment can be financed with the gear itself as collateral, and FICO 500+ is accepted because approval leans on revenue.
Can I get utility & underground contractor funding with bad credit?
Yes — FICO 500+ can qualify. Approval is weighted toward monthly revenue and bank-deposit consistency rather than credit score, so bank turndowns are common approvals here.
How do utility & underground contractors cover payroll between draws?
Working capital or a bridge covers crew payroll and materials now and is repaid when the progress draw or payment lands — underwritten on your deposits, not the contract.
How fast can I get funded?
Most contractors fund within 24 hours of approval; smaller amounts can fund the same day. The application takes about 5 minutes with a soft credit pull.
How much can I qualify for?
Amounts scale with revenue, from $25,000 up to $5,000,000 for high-revenue contractors.
