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.

The answers

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.
