Electrical Contractor Financing Nationwide for Electricians, $10K to $5M
⚡ Financing Built for Electrical ContractorsI’m Kevin Kermeen, a nationwide commercial loan broker, not a bank. Electrical contractor financing funds the squeeze every electrician knows: copper, wire, panels and switchgear cost a fortune up front, lead times stretch for months, and on commercial jobs you wait 45 to 60 days to get paid by the GC. You front the material, carry the labor, and bridge the gap. I match you to lenders who fund the material order, the payroll and the slow receivables, not a bank that wants two years of returns first.
Electrical Contractor Financing for Every Part of the Business
Whether you’re ordering switchgear months ahead, carrying a commercial job to closeout, or buying a second service truck, there’s a path built for it. Here’s what electrical contractor financing commonly covers.
Material and Switchgear Orders
Finance copper, wire, panels and long-lead switchgear up front, before the job bills, so price spikes and lead times don’t stall you.
Payroll on Commercial Jobs
Carry crew payroll through a new-construction job while you wait 45 to 60 days for the GC to release payment.
Factor Slow GC Invoices
Turn 45 and 60-day invoices from general contractors and builders into cash now, underwritten on their credit.
Trucks and Equipment
Finance service vans, bucket trucks, conduit benders and thermal cameras, with the equipment as collateral.
Line of Credit for Service Work
A revolving line to stock the trucks and cover the steady flow of service and repair calls, draw as you go.
Growth, Crews and Acquisition
Add crews to take on bigger contracts, fund a partner buy-in, or acquire another electrical shop.
An Electrician Ordered Switchgear Months Early and Won a Job He’d Otherwise Have Lost
A commercial electrician landed a build-out that hinged on locking in switchgear with a four-month lead time, a five-figure order he had to place and pay for long before the job would bill. Copper prices were climbing too. The bank wanted collateral and history he didn’t have at that size, and the clock was running.
They called me. I matched him to a working-capital line plus factoring on his GC invoices, so he placed the switchgear order on time and carried payroll while the job ran, repaying as each pay app cleared. He locked the price, hit the lead time, and delivered a job the bank’s delay would have cost him.
That’s what the right match looks like for an electrical contractor. Don’t Beg the Bank! Get funded instead.

How I Match Electrical Contractor Financing to the Right Lender
Most banks freeze on the material spend and the slow commercial draws, but the lenders who understand the trades read your service revenue and your backlog correctly. I work with many, so I match your electrical contractor financing to the lender that funds your real need, material orders, payroll on jobs, factoring slow invoices or equipment, and I review the options with you before you commit.
Here’s the reality for an electrical contractor. Your business runs two clocks at once. Service and repair work pays fast and steady, but new-construction and commercial jobs make you front a fortune in copper, wire, panels and long-lead switchgear, then wait 45 to 60 days for the general contractor to release payment. When copper spikes or a switchgear order carries a four-month lead time, you have to commit cash months before the job ever bills. A traditional bank looks at that swing and the thin collateral and passes. The right lenders work differently: a working-capital line funds the material order and carries payroll, and invoice factoring advances cash against your GC and builder invoices, underwritten substantially on the customer’s credit rather than yours. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, the 7(a) program is designed precisely for this kind of working-capital, equipment and expansion financing.
The right structure depends on what you’re doing. A big material order usually runs through SBA 7(a) loan, and broader options live across the SBA loan programs. Service vans, bucket trucks and tools are best matched to equipment financing, where the equipment is the collateral. If you want to own the building, an SBA 504 loan or commercial real estate loan gives long-term, fixed-rate terms. Buying out a competitor or a partner points to SBA 7(a) financing, and the ramp-up months are covered by working capital loans or a business line of credit.
So tell me about your mix of service and commercial work and where the squeeze is, material, payroll or slow invoices, and I’ll tell you honestly which electrical contractor financing fits, match you to a lender who understands the trade, and stay with you through closing.

Loan amounts, terms, rates and funding speed shown reflect typical lender programs, not guarantees, and vary by lender, creditworthiness, revenue and job performance, collateral and structure. Electrical contractor financing generally ranges from $10,000 to $5 million depending on revenue and need. *Working capital and factoring are commonly financed through SBA 7(a); SBA loans follow standard SBA timelines and eligibility, and “no two years of history needed” refers to acqfactoring underwritten substantially on the project owner’s or GC’s credit rather than the borrower’s prior business history. Credit is considered along with other factors; there is no single hard minimum FICO simply to apply, but stronger credit supports better rates and terms, and not all applicants are approved. *No upfront fees refers to fees payable to 75BizLoans.com; I am compensated by the lender at closing. Some partner lenders may require a commitment fee or deposit upon your acceptance of their term sheet; any such fee is the lender’s, is disclosed before you commit, and is separate from any compensation to me. Final eligibility, rate, term and structure are determined by the lender. This is not a commitment to lend. Same-day approvals are common when the application reaches me before 9am Arizona Time.
