Top 5 Construction Financing Mistakes

1. Waiting until you need the money

Construction financing takes 4-8 weeks to secure. Smart contractors establish credit lines before bidding on projects.

2. Not separating business and personal finances

Construction businesses need dedicated business bank accounts, credit profiles, and financial statements to qualify for best rates.

3. Underestimating retainage impact

Most lenders want to see that you can cover 10-15% of project costs that may be held as retainage for 6-12 months.

4. Ignoring equipment financing options

Specialized lenders offer better terms for heavy equipment than traditional business loans (lower rates, longer terms).

5. Not leveraging project contracts

Many lenders will provide financing based on signed contracts with reputable general contractors or government entities.
