The first split is simple: if you are buying something that holds value, such as a truck, trailer, lift, compressor, or specialty machine, equipment financing is usually the cleanest fit. As of July 2026 through our funding partner, that lane can go from $10K to $5M, it often funds in 3 to 7 days, and it is built around the asset itself. That is why contractors with decent revenue but less-than-perfect credit can still get traction here. The price range is wider than SBA, but the file hurdle is lighter, and 0% down is often available at 650+ credit.

If you are chasing the cheapest capital and can wait, SBA 7(a) is the long-game option. As of July 2026 through our funding partner, the range is $50K to $5M+, with 10 to 25 year terms and pricing at Prime + 2.75% to 4.75% APR. The tradeoff is underwriting friction: 640+ credit, 24 months in business, and $100K+ annual revenue are the baseline, and funding generally takes 30 to 90 days. That makes it the lane for expansion, acquisition, or larger refinance needs, not for a roof tear-off that needs cash before Friday.

For short-cycle jobs, working capital and a business line of credit solve different problems. Working capital is the fastest lane, with funding as fast as 24 hours, but the cost is higher because it is usually priced as a factor rate of 1.15 to 1.40. It fits payroll gaps, supplier deposits, and emergency repairs where speed matters more than rate. A line of credit is better when you need repeated draws for seasonal swings, material buys, or labor timing. As of July 2026 through our funding partner, it can set up in 1 to 3 days, allow same-day draws, and usually wants 600+ credit, 6 months in business, and $10K+/month revenue.

Business term loans sit between those lanes. They are useful when you need a second crew truck, a hiring push, or equipment under $100K and do not want an asset-only structure. As of July 2026 through our funding partner, they run $25K to $1M+, fund in 2 to 5 days, and usually start at 600+ credit and 12 months in business. Strong files can price in the high single digits to low teens; thin files can land much higher, so this lane rewards clean cash flow and a clear repayment plan.

If your business waits on unpaid invoices from general contractors or government work, invoice factoring can unlock cash without waiting on the full pay cycle. That is often the better fit for subs than an unsecured loan when receivables are already booked but not yet collected. The same playbook shows up across market pages like Akron and Anaheim: the city changes, but the real decision is still speed versus cost versus underwriting strength.
