Cutting Cap Cutting Cap
// Industries — Construction

You finish the job. The money finishes later.

Construction pays weekly and collects monthly: payroll Friday, materials on delivery, the draw request in 30 days, retainage in a year. A revenue purchase funds the work while the contract catches up. This is boutique funding: a person reads your file, not a scoreboard.

// The Squeeze

The contractor's cash gap

01

Pay-when-paid is a slow disease

Your invoice to the GC waits on their draw from the owner, which waits on the architect's certificate. Net-30 on paper routinely means 45–60 in the account.

02

Retainage holds your profit hostage

Five to ten percent of every progress payment sits in escrow until substantial completion — sometimes a year of your margin locked up on jobs you already finished.

03

Materials want cash up front

Lumber, steel, and fixtures are due on delivery or net-15, months before the draw that pays for them lands. Every bigger contract is a bigger materials float.

// Why Banks Pass

Why banks pass on contractors

Banks look at a two-year-old subcontractor and see lumpy revenue, thin margins, and no collateral they want. The signed $400k contract in your truck is not an asset to them — it is unearned revenue, worth nothing on their form.

Equipment finance covers yellow iron; lines of credit want history. The working capital in between — payroll, materials, mobilization — is the gap banks leave open and revenue purchases were built to close.

// The Fit

Bends with the draw schedule

We size the advance to your average monthly deposits across draws and progress payments, then remit weekly. Between draws the remittance stays manageable; when a big draw lands, the purchase settles faster. It bends with the job calendar instead of fighting it.

The highest-return use never changes: fund the next signed contract's materials and payroll so you never decline work for cash reasons. Contractors who can say yes to every good bid grow; the ones juggling draws stay small. Sharp terms, straight answers — that is the whole Cutting Cap model.

// What You'd Use It For

Real numbers, real uses.

Payroll bridge between draws

$15,000 revenue purchase

Keep the crew whole through a slow-paying GC's 60-day cycle — cheaper than losing your best hands to the competitor down the road.

Materials for a signed contract

$25,000 revenue purchase

Buy the lumber package or fixtures for the job you already won, at supplier cash prices, instead of begging for terms.

Level up the bid

$50,000 revenue purchase

Add the crew and the equipment deposit that qualify you for the bigger contract class — the jobs where the margins actually live.

// Questions

Questions? Straight answers.

Do you fund against specific contracts?

No — we advance against your business's overall revenue rhythm. No lien notices to GCs or owners, no joint checks, no paperwork that spooks a general contractor.

My revenue is lumpy. Is that a problem?

Lumpy is expected in construction; we underwrite the average and the trend, not a perfect straight line. Three months of statements tells us what we need.

Can I settle early when a big draw lands?

Ask about early-settlement pricing at funding — many purchases include a discount for settling ahead of schedule. We would rather renew you at a bigger number than hold you to a calendar.

// Get Funded

Ready when you are.

A $15,000, $25,000, or $50,000 revenue purchase — and those are floors, not ceilings. We fund more when the financials support it. Apply in four minutes; decision in 24–72 hours.
