    Tailored Solutions

    What kind of construction financing do you need?

    Contractor financing for general contractors and specialty trades

    Contractor Financing

    General & Specialty Contractors

    Whether you're a general contractor, electrician, plumber, or HVAC specialist — get fast capital to cover payroll between project milestones, purchase materials upfront, or finance new equipment for upcoming jobs. Working capital loans and equipment financing are the most popular products for contractors.

    Bridge Cash Flow Gaps

    Cover payroll, materials, and subcontractor costs while waiting on project payments. Working capital loans keep your operations running smoothly between milestones.

    Finance Heavy Equipment

    Excavators, loaders, concrete mixers, and specialty tools — finance or lease the equipment you need with the asset itself as collateral.

    Fund Permits & Bonding

    Use business lines of credit to cover permit fees, performance bonds, and insurance requirements before a project even breaks ground.

    Commercial construction loans for builders and developers

    Commercial Construction Loans

    Builders & Developers

    Finance ground-up commercial builds, tenant improvements, and multi-project developments with long-term capital. SBA loans and commercial business loans provide the extended terms and higher limits that large-scale construction projects demand.

    Ground-Up Construction

    Finance new commercial builds from site acquisition through completion. SBA loans and commercial business loans provide the long-term capital you need.

    Renovation & Expansion

    Fund tenant improvements, building renovations, and expansion projects. Flexible terms let you align repayment with projected rental income.

    Multi-Project Financing

    Revolving credit lines and working capital loans let you fund multiple projects simultaneously without tying up all your capital on a single build.

    Contractor financing - construction worker operating equipment on job site

    For Contractors

    Fast capital for every phase of your next project.

    Construction contractors face unique financial challenges that traditional banks simply don't understand. From the moment you win a bid, you're fronting costs for materials, labor, permits, and equipment — often weeks or months before the first progress payment arrives. That cash flow gap can stall even the most profitable businesses.

    At GBB Loans, we specialize in working capital solutions designed for project-based businesses. Our revenue-based underwriting evaluates your cash flow and contract pipeline — not just your credit score — so you can get approved even with less-than-perfect credit.

    Need a new excavator, concrete mixer, or fleet of trucks? Equipment financing uses the machinery itself as collateral, meaning no additional assets at risk. With terms from 1 to 7 years and up to 100% financing, you can preserve your working capital while scaling your fleet.

    Whether you're a solo electrician taking on your first commercial job or a 50-person general contracting firm managing multiple sites, GBB Loans has a financing product built for how construction businesses actually operate. Apply in 2 minutes, get matched with offers the same day, and receive funding in as little as 24 hours.

    Commercial construction loans - large-scale building project with crane and steel structure

    For Commercial Builders

    Long-term financing for large-scale construction.

    Commercial construction projects require substantial upfront capital, extended timelines, and sophisticated financial planning. Whether you're developing a new office complex, building retail space, or managing a multi-phase residential development, the right financing structure can make or break your project.

    SBA loans offer the lowest interest rates and longest repayment terms available — up to $5 million with terms extending 25 years for real estate purchases. For developers who qualify, SBA 504 and 7(a) programs provide unmatched value for commercial construction financing.

    For faster access to capital without the SBA timeline, commercial business loans through GBB Loans can provide $50K to $2M with approval in days rather than weeks. Pair that with a revolving line of credit for day-to-day project expenses, and you have a complete financing stack for any commercial build.

    GBB Loans works with builders and developers across the country — from first-time commercial projects to established firms managing portfolios of properties. Our funding advisors understand construction timelines, draw schedules, and the unique requirements of commercial development financing.

    Pro Tips

    Smart financing strategies for construction businesses.

    Practical advice from industry experts to help you maximize your construction financing.

    Plan Financing Before Bidding

    Secure your funding pre-approval before bidding on new construction projects. Having committed capital lets you submit more competitive bids and move faster once you win.

    Stack Multiple Products

    Combine a business line of credit for daily cash flow with equipment financing for machinery purchases. Diversifying your capital sources reduces risk and maximizes flexibility.

    Separate Business & Personal Credit

    Keep business and personal finances separate. This protects your personal assets and builds business credit history, leading to better loan terms over time.

    Build During Off-Season

    Apply for financing during slower months to negotiate better terms. Use working capital to invest in equipment maintenance, training, and marketing before peak season.

    Track Project-Level Profitability

    Maintain detailed records of revenue and costs per project. Lenders look favorably on businesses that can demonstrate consistent, project-level profitability.

    Leverage Local Market Knowledge

    Understanding your local market's construction pipeline helps you time equipment purchases and staffing decisions — and gives lenders confidence in your business plan.
