Asset-Based Lending (ABL) for Building Products & Construction Materials shops
Borrow against what you already own. Our team looks for a funding partner with a asset-based lending (abl) structure that fits how you actually run. No equity given up, and no application, origination, or closing fees to you.
Why building products & construction materials shops choose asset-based lending (abl)
You're making concrete, drywall, roofing, siding, windows, or masonry — all tied to the housing and construction cycle. When builders are busy, your plant runs hot and you're buying cement, gypsum, steel, and aggregate on the spot while your distributor and big-box customers pay 60 days later.
Seasonality and weather sharpen it — production ramps in spring and summer, but the receivables lag into fall and winter. Distributor concentration is real, and one big-box or pro-dealer account can be 30–40% of your volume.
Asset-Based Lending (ABL) is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Revolving lines secured by receivables, inventory, and equipment.

It depends on the program. Factoring often funds within days of account setup; equipment and working capital usually run days to a couple of weeks; SBA and larger term loans take longer. We tell you the real timeline up front.
No. We are an independent business financing referral service and are not paid by you. In most states, funding partners pay us when an account funds or activates; in California and Missouri they instead pay a fixed fee per inquiry, whether or not you are funded. Either way, you pay us nothing.
No. Every program we refer is non-dilutive. You keep 100% ownership of your shop.
Yes. Advance rates depend on your customer's credit, not your plant size. A regional ready-mix or block plant invoicing distributors and contractors typically factors as cleanly as a large drywall plant.
Factors experienced in building products underwrite the dealer or contractor's credit — not yours. Concentration in one big-box or pro-dealer account may shape the reserve but doesn't disqualify you.
ABL is a revolving line you draw against; factoring is the outright sale of specific invoices. ABL usually has lower cost of capital but stricter eligibility and monthly reporting requirements.
