Background
Keeping Projects in Motion
KS Contracting is a commercial general contracting company specializing in repairs, maintenance, and construction services across various sectors. By focusing solely on commercial projects, KS Contracting has been able to develop a strong reputation for quality and reliability. However, as they grew and began bidding on larger projects, they faced a challenge: the need for significant upfront cash to purchase materials and keep projects moving, especially when working with clients that operate on extended payment terms.
Challenge
Bridging Cash Flow Gaps
As KS Contracting took on bigger jobs, they found themselves in need of additional capital to cover upfront costs, such as purchasing materials. With some clients taking up to 90 days—or even longer—to process payments, the company encountered cash flow constraints that made it difficult to take on new opportunities without delays. Traditional funding options were slow, requiring extensive paperwork and a lengthy approval process, which didn’t align with the quick turnaround needed for their projects.
Solution

KS Contracting turned to Merchant Growth for a fast, flexible financing solution. The application process was straightforward, without the extensive documentation requirements of traditional lenders. After a few simple steps, KS Contracting was approved for funding, allowing them to secure the materials necessary for their upcoming projects.
