FAQ

Construction Business Loan FAQs

What business loans are available for construction companies in Australia?

Loan types include: equipment finance for machinery and vehicles, working capital for project cash flow, materials and stock financing, subcontractor payment funding, vehicle and fleet finance, and project deposit funding. No property security required for amounts up to $350,000. Approval based on contract pipeline, project history, and cash flow performance - not just credit scores. Ideal for builders, contractors, civil construction, and specialty trades.
How quickly can construction businesses get funding approval?
Construction businesses can receive loan approval in 2-5 hours with Velociti Capital. The fast process: 2-minute online application, automated review of 6 months bank statements showing project payments and supplier transactions, approval decision within 2-5 hours, funds deposited within hours. Traditional banks take 2-4 weeks minimum. Fast approval is critical for construction businesses needing to secure project deposits, purchase materials at discount, cover payroll between progress payments, or acquire equipment quickly. Same-day funding available for urgent needs.
Do construction companies need collateral for business loans?
No, construction companies do not need property collateral for business loans up to $350,000 with Velociti Capital. We offer not asset backed financing based on construction business revenue - analyzing project payments, contract pipeline, progress claim patterns, and cash flow consistency. Existing equipment and vehicles remain unencumbered. Property security is never required. This makes funding accessible for construction businesses without real estate holdings or those who don't want to risk personal property.
What are the eligibility requirements for construction business loans?
Construction business loan requirements include: 6+ months trading history (or proven industry experience for new companies), minimum $5,000 monthly revenue from completed projects or active contracts, valid ABN registration and appropriate licenses, 6 months of business bank statements showing project income, and Australian construction operation. Both individual contractors and construction companies qualify. Credit scores are secondary - we focus on contract pipeline value, project completion history, customer payment patterns, progress claim frequency, and consistent cash flow.
Can construction businesses with irregular cash flow qualify?
Yes, construction businesses with project-based revenue cycles can qualify for business loans. We understand construction cash flow patterns - irregular progress payments, retention amounts, seasonal variations, and gaps between projects. Requirements: demonstrate consistent project pipeline (multiple contracts or regular work), show history of completed projects with payments received, maintain average monthly revenue above $5,000 over 6 months, and have clear upcoming work confirmed. Builders with retention holdbacks, seasonal outdoor work, and large project payment structures all qualify. We analyze annual patterns rather than just monthly consistency.
What can construction companies use business loans for?
Construction business loans can fund: heavy equipment and machinery ($20K-$300K for excavators, bobcats, cranes, lifts), commercial vehicles and utes ($15K-$150K), building materials and supplies for upcoming projects, subcontractor deposits and payments, working capital for payroll between progress claims, project deposits and mobilization costs, tools and equipment for new contracts, insurance and license costs, safety equipment and compliance, technology like project management software and drones, and emergency equipment repairs. Funds are unrestricted for legitimate construction business purposes.
How much can construction businesses borrow based on revenue?
Construction loan amounts are based on monthly revenue from project payments and contracts. Typical approvals: $20K monthly revenue = $40K-$60K loan, $50K monthly revenue = $100K-$150K loan, $100K monthly revenue = $200K-$300K loan. Maximum loan amount is $350,000. We analyze progress claim payments, contract values, completed project history, and pipeline of upcoming work. Both residential and commercial construction revenue count. Multi-trade contractors can aggregate different service revenue streams.
What interest rates do construction companies pay on business loans?
Construction business loan interest rates are competitive fixed monthly rates depending on factors: revenue consistency and project pipeline strength, contract completion history and payment patterns, trading history length, loan amount and term, construction specialty and project types. Established construction companies with strong project pipelines typically secure lower rates. Rates are competitive with construction-specific financing and significantly better than high-interest credit cards or equipment hire purchase. Contact us for a personalised quote.
