Are you a construction subcontractor who is waiting 30, 60, or 90 days to get paid by general contractors or commercial clients? Slow payments often create cash flow problems, leaving you unable to run your business effectively.
You can fix this problem and improve your cash flow by using construction factoring. Construction factoring allows you to finance slow-paying invoices from general contractors and commercial clients. This financing gives your company the funds it needs to make payroll, pay suppliers, and, more importantly, take on new jobs. Note that to qualify for this program, subcontractors must invoice a minimum of $500,000 per month.

How does factoring work?
Factoring is fairly easy to use and can be implemented by most construction subcontractors. The factor finances your accounts receivable by advancing a portion of the invoice as soon as the work (or work segment) is completed. This initial advance covers about 75% of the invoice and provides you with immediate working capital.
The transaction concludes once your customer pays their invoice on their usual terms. Once the payment is received, the factor settles the transaction and rebates the remaining 20%, less any fees.
Most construction subcontractors use factoring on an ongoing basis because it provides them with predictable cash flow. For more detailed information, read “How Does Factoring Work?”

Construction specialists
Unfortunately, most Canadian factoring companies are not comfortable financing construction-related businesses. We are construction specialists and can usually work with construction transactions that have:
- Progress payments – where payments are made upon a percentage of completion
- Pay-when-paid clauses (also known as pay-on-pay)
- Payment retention (often stipulated as a 10% retainage)

Our solution may be right for your company if you:
