Construction Business Loan

Construction Business Loan

As a small construction business owner, you are constantly confronted with the demanding challenges of seasonality, competition, and unforeseen growth opportunities. Learn how getting access to capital can help tackle any situation that might arise.

Construction Business Loan

If you are a small or medium sized construction business looking to finance an upcoming or ongoing project, a Driven construction business loan might be the perfect avenue for you to take. In the current economy, acquiring a construction loan isn’t as simple as it may appear. A traditional lender will typically take weeks to assess the viability of your project, and even longer to determine whether you are eligible for a construction business loan. 

At Driven, we understand the difficulties associated with obtaining funding for a small business, and we want to be the partner that helps you to get the funding to finish your project successfully and on schedule. We offer construction business loans of up to $300,000 with a variety of flexible payment options, providing entrepreneurs with the capital they need to complete their projects properly and in a timely manner. Our application process is quick and easy, allowing you to access the funding you require in as little as 24 hours.

How can a construction business loan help me?

Finance projects

Assuming your intention is to grow your business, then naturally you’ll want to continue taking on larger projects as time goes on. That likely means the associated expenses will also get larger. Maintain consistent growth by leveraging a construction business loan that will allow you to tackle any project, no matter what the size or budget. 

Outsourcing Tasks

Although construction is your area of expertise, and most if not all of the projects can be done by your eternal team, there may be instances where you bring on contractors to complete specific tasks on the job site. Ensuring you have the cash flow to outsource any necessary tasks is important for any entrepreneur. 

Covering unexpected expenses

As you know all too well, the construction industry is not without surprises. Whether it be legal disputes, natural disasters, or unpaid customers, unexpected expenses are no stranger to owners of construction businesses, and must be accounted for.
