Technician payroll
Growing service and project teams can increase payroll before the revenue cycle catches up.
Plumbing & HVAC
Finance around jobs, technicians, equipment and supplier timing.
Plumbing, mechanical and HVAC contractors often carry labour, vehicles, equipment and supplier costs before receiving final project payments or service-contract receipts.
What matters
Start with the commercial reality.
Funding should address a defined business need and sit within a credible plan for the company after the facility is advanced.
Equipment & suppliers
Plant, tools, refrigeration/HVAC equipment and supplier accounts can create large short-term cash requirements.
Tax & growth
Historic tax liabilities can sit alongside a healthy pipeline, but the business still needs a plan to keep future obligations current.
Define the work mix
Separate recurring service work, maintenance contracts and project/construction work because each has a different cash-conversion profile.
Prepare supplier exposure
List major supplier balances, account terms, equipment commitments and any concentration with key vendors.
Show operating capacity
Provide technician headcount, utilisation assumptions, gross margin, current jobs and management capacity for any planned expansion.
Use funding against a defined purpose
A facility may be considered for eligible tax liabilities, working capital or growth expenditure, subject to the company’s full credit assessment.
