A signed contract, not yet paid: how can it be financed?
A signed contract often means paying for labour and materials before being paid. That need can be presented; the lender decides, signed contract or not.

- Can a contract be financed before I am paid?
- Yes, the need can be presented, most often as working capital sized on your deposits. The signed contract helps describe the need; the lender is the one that decides.
- Is a signed contract enough for the lender?
- No, not by itself. A contract shows work still to do; the lender reads first what the business already takes in.
- And once the work is invoiced?
- Invoices owed by a business or a public body, for work already delivered, can go through factoring. The lender decides, invoice by invoice.
- The contract calls for new equipment: how is it presented?
- On its own, as equipment financing, from the supplier’s quote. The equipment itself usually serves as security.
What the lender looks at
- Actual deposits, month by month
- What the business already takes in measures what it can carry during the contract.
- Trend over the period
- A contract added to steady revenue reads better than a contract alone.
- Payments to other lenders
- An advance already taken on the same contract must be declared.
- How long the business has been operating
- A younger business can still be presented; the lender sets its thresholds.
