What Is Contractor Financing?

Contractor financing allows service providers to offer clients manageable payment plans instead of requiring full payment upfront. This solution helps homeowners move forward with renovations, repairs, or upgrades without the burden of large immediate expenses. Once approved, clients receive financing from a third-party lender, who disburses the funds directly to the contractor. The client then repays the loan over time through fixed installments—making it easier for both parties to proceed with confidence and financial clarity.
