This Is Why You're Here
Why Concretes Come to Us Instead of Their Bank
You're pouring 400 yards this week across 3 jobs. Ready-mix costs $55K and the batch plant wants COD. Your GC payments are 30 days out.
Your concrete pump is down. Rental replacements cost $3K/day. A new pump truck is $180K but will pay for itself in 18 months. Your bank wants 6 months of financials you don't have time to prepare.
You won a $250K foundation package for a subdivision. Mobilization costs $60K — forms, rebar, and crew — before the first draw. The builder starts grading next week.
Winter hit and decorative concrete is dead for 3 months. Your 8-man crew costs $32K/month in payroll but you've got $9K in the bank. Laying them off means losing guys you spent 2 years training.
A commercial GC owes you $85K across two foundation pours completed 6 weeks ago. He's not disputing the work — just slow to process payments. Meanwhile your rebar supplier wants $22K by Friday.
Batch plant wanted COD on a $55K pour week. Got working capital in 24 hours. Didn't miss a single pour date.

Why Concrete Businesses Choose Basecamp
Batch Plant COD? We Cover It
400 yards across 3 jobs this week at $55K in ready-mix and the batch plant wants cash on delivery. Your GC pays in 30 days. We fund the material gap so you never miss a pour date.
Pump Truck Financing in Days
A concrete pump truck costs $180K and renting one at $3K/day is draining you. Equipment financing with the truck as collateral gets you your own pump in days, not the 8 weeks your bank quoted.
Pour Schedules Wait for Nobody
Concrete is unforgiving — miss your pour window and the whole project timeline shifts. When you need $60K for forms, rebar, and crew before the first draw, we fund fast enough to keep the schedule.
Subdivision Volume? We Scale With You
A 30-home foundation package means $250K in materials spread over 6 months. Builders pay per-house completion. A revolving line lets you pour house 5 while you're still waiting on payment for house 1.
Bobby's Take
Bobby's Playbook for Concrete
Most concrete contractors walk into a bank and get evaluated against a 5-year operating-history checklist — not the active commercial pour schedule plus weather-dependent project cycle they actually have right now. Lenders who specialize in concrete contractors look at the work in front of you, not the work behind you. They underwrite your retainage holds and progress-draw schedule across open jobs. Here's how to position your transaction so the right specialists see it first.
Three things determine whether a concrete contractor transaction closes: project pipeline, GC and end-customer creditworthiness, and your retainage A/R aging. Not your personal FICO. Not your time in business. Specialist concrete lenders care about whether your monthly project draw revenue supports a $2,500-$4,500/month payment — and whether your retainage receivables follow predictable release timelines from established GC relationships.
The biggest mistake concrete contractors make: applying with retainage receivables aged out without context. The lender sees aging in the 90-120-day bucket and assumes write-off risk. The fix: produce a retainage schedule showing project completion dates and contracted release terms. Specialist concrete lenders normalize retainage aging on documented commercial projects. Generalist lenders apply consumer A/R aging assumptions.
crew billable time lost when a $400K commercial pour delays mobilization
Where this gets interesting at scale: a concrete contractor adding a pump truck, expanding formwork inventory, or mobilizing on a commercial pour doesn't need ONE loan. They need equipment financing for the new pump or mixer + a working capital line for crew deposits and material inventory + invoice factoring on the GC progress payments and retainage + sometimes purchase order financing for big bulk-cement pre-buys. Four products, multiple lenders, one application — that's how residential concrete contractors scale into commercial pour operations.
The concrete contractors who scale fastest aren't the ones who waited for the GC to release the first progress payment before mobilizing. They're the ones who had financing in place to mobilize on the contract date and bill the first draw on time. Every week a $400K commercial pour is delayed in mobilization is $20,000-$40,000 in lost crew billable time. Run the numbers in 60 seconds — see what 70+ specialist lenders will offer your concrete business this week.
Bottom line:
Concrete contractors lose mobilization weeks to retainage aging banks misread. Show project completion dates and contracted release terms — a specialist normalizes the aging, generalists write it off.

What Kills Your Qualification (And What Doesn't)
Most lenders won't tell you this upfront. We will.
✅ These Won't Stop You
These Can Be Deal-Breakers
Need commercial insurance for your concrete business?
Your lender will require proof of general liability and workers' comp before funding equipment over $50K. Our sister company InsuranceService365.com binds contractor policies same-day across 29 states — so insurance never holds up your funding.
Don't Wait Until You Need Funding to Get Funded
GC payments are net-30/45/60 by industry default. The contractors who win on price are the ones with capital to mobilize before the first draw. The contractors who win on schedule funded BEFORE the job started — not after the supplier called about a past-due invoice. Pre-qualify when the bid pipeline is steady.

Concrete Contractor Loans — $10K to $20M+

I've funded $55K ready-mix COD orders, $180K pump truck purchases, $60K subdivision mobilization packages, and $250K revolving lines for multi-job operations.
