Fremont, CA: The building industry presents multiple financial challenges. Projects necessitate investments in materials, equipment, and personnel, yet payment cycles can be long and lumpy - cash is frequently collected and allocated in lump sums.
The good news is that several finance options exist for construction enterprises to assist with these issues. These options enable many construction firms to complete successful projects while controlling costs and cash flow.
Late Payments from Contractors
It is not uncommon to wait 60, 90, or even 120 days before receiving payment. That's a long time when you've got people to pay, materials to buy, equipment to purchase or hire, and tax obligations to settle.
Late payment is a severe problem for small and medium-sized construction enterprises, and despite efforts to prevent it, it is not going away.
Hoping that your customer will pay on time so that you may satisfy your payment obligations is not a winning strategy. It's preferable to have a plan and solutions that will allow you to make payments even before you receive the funds you're owed.
