Direct Answer: How do contractors fund new jobs?

Contractors often use mobilization funding or lines of credit. This provides the upfront cash needed for materials and labor to start a project, which is then repaid when the client pays their first draw or invoice.


You won the bid, but you can't start without materials. The client won't pay until the first milestone. You're stuck in the 'cash gap' where you need to spend money to make money.
