Frequently asked questions

What is construction bridge financing?
It's short-term capital that covers a temporary cash gap — like the wait between progress draws or a pending project payout — and is repaid once the expected money arrives.
How is it different from a line of credit?
A bridge is typically a one-time, short-term fix for a specific timing gap, while a line of credit is revolving capital you draw and reuse over time. Both are available.
Do I need the contract or draw schedule to qualify?
No. Approval is based on your bank deposits and revenue, not the contract, which keeps it fast.
How fast can I get bridge funds?
Most approvals fund within 24 hours; some cases take 1-2 days.
Can it cover retainage?
Yes. Bridge funding can cover cash tied up in retainage held until project closeout.
