| Option | How it works |
|---|---|
| Equipment financing | Equipment financing is worth reviewing for identifiable assets like service vehicles or major install equipment. |
| Business line of credit | A business line of credit may suit repeat draws for materials and recurring timing gaps, subject to available credit and account terms. |
| Term funding | A term funding may fit a defined expansion — a new location or service line — with a repayment plan. |
| Merchant cash advance | A merchant cash advance is a different funding structure based on future receivables. Compare its complete cost and collection terms against your job-cycle cash needs. |
The products available to your business depend on review.
Illustration: a $42,000 service truck, $6,000 in tools, stock, and wrap, and a $12,000 payroll reserve for the first two months total $60,000. If the business can contribute $15,000 without using essential operating cash, the remaining planning gap is $45,000 before financing fees or other costs. This is a budgeting example, not an offer.
Confirm what can be financed and what must be paid upfront. Use the repair-or-replace checklist before committing to the purchase.
Logic’s published guidelines start at $25,000 in monthly business revenue. MCA and line-of-credit guidelines start at six months in business; equipment and term-funding guidelines start at one year. Credit requirements and additional conditions differ by product. Meeting a minimum does not guarantee approval.

“That is what ready feels like, finally.”
A furnace dies on the coldest night, a water heater fails on a holiday weekend, or a commercial customer says yes to a job that needs materials and crew this week. Those moments do not wait for a bank committee. If a bank said no because one season looked slow, or a broker wasted two weeks passing your file around, that runaround ends here. You found the team that reviews the whole business: steady revenue, real job history, and the work already booked, not just a single score on a single day.
The process stays simple. Complete a short application of about a dozen questions, add four recent business bank statements, and explain what the funding will do. Published guidelines start at $25,000 in monthly revenue, decisions can come in as little as 4 hours, and funding can arrive as fast as same day. Bring the quote, the job details, and your timing, and size the request to the work in front of you, nothing more. Then comes the part that matters: trucks rolling on time, materials on site, your best crew still on the schedule, and customers who feel taken care of instead of turned away. That is what ready feels like, finally.
Home services funding through Logic Advance starts with a short application and four recent, complete business bank statements, and a complete application can receive a decision in as little as 4 hours, with funding as fast as same day. Published guidelines start at $25,000 in monthly revenue, with six months in business for a merchant cash advance or line of credit and one year for equipment or term funding. Size the request to the work in front of you: this page builds a $60,000 plan from a $42,000 service truck, $6,000 in tools, stock, and wrap, and a $12,000 payroll reserve, then funds the $45,000 gap after the business contributes $15,000 it can spare.
Before you sign, compare the full offer — the net amount you receive, the total payment obligation, every fee, the payment frequency, and the expected duration — against your slowest months, not your busiest. Then picture the week the way it should run: trucks rolling on time, materials on site before the job starts, your best crew still on the schedule, and customers who feel taken care of instead of turned away. If a bank judged you on one slow season and a broker wasted two weeks passing your file around, you found them, finally. Your search ends here, and ready is how every week starts.
A new crew costs more than the vehicle it rides in, so cost the whole truck first. This page builds the honest version: a $42,000 service truck, $6,000 in tools, stock, and wrap, and a $12,000 payroll reserve for the first two months total $60,000. If the business contributes $15,000 it can spare, the remaining planning gap is $45,000 before financing fees or other costs. The payroll reserve is the line owners cut most often, and the one that decides whether the new crew survives its first slow month.
Judge each line against the work already booked. The truck and tools should be matched to the jobs the crew can actually run each week. The reserve should cover the ramp while those jobs turn into collected payments, because materials are paid before the customer pays you. The right mix follows the structures this page compares, equipment financing for the vehicle, a line of credit for repeat materials, and working capital for payroll timing, following the job calendar, not a headline amount.
If a bank judged you on one slow season or a broker wasted two weeks, that runaround ends here. Logic Advance is a growing funding company investing in its team and partner resources behind every review, and a whole-truck budget lets that review move in as little as 4 hours. Picture the truck wrapped, stocked, and rolling, new techs trained before the rush, and payroll covered in quiet weeks too. You found the team that costs the real job, finally.
Match the funding to the job board, not the calendar. A home services company's real schedule is the board: jobs booked weeks out, material deposits due before a crew rolls, commercial accounts paying on their own terms long after work is done. Funding sized from that board — the truck a booked route needs, materials a signed job requires, payroll carrying a crew to payday — fits the business as it runs.
This page builds its example from a job board: a $42,000 service truck, $6,000 in tools, stock, and wrap, and a $12,000 payroll reserve for the first two months total $60,000, and a $15,000 contribution from cash the business can spare leaves a $45,000 planning gap. Every line answers to scheduled work. Bring the same evidence — the jobs behind the request and four recent, complete bank statements — against published guidelines starting at $25,000 in monthly business revenue, six months in business for a merchant cash advance or line of credit, one year for equipment or term funding. Complete files can be reviewed in as little as 4 hours, funding as fast as same day.
Logic Advance is a growing funder, growing by backing companies whose boards are full — and by investing in the partner network serving them. If a bank saw a seasonal schedule where you see a route booked solid, or a broker kept your file circling while a job waited on materials, that runaround ends here. You found the team that costs funding from the job board. Apply once, and keep crews rolling.
A service truck makes money only when it rolls with a trained technician, stocked shelves, insured plates, and payroll behind it — so the honest request funds the whole crew package, not the vehicle alone. Price the truck, the tools and wrap that make it a working unit, and the first two months of pay together, and the amount stops being a guess. This page works that package in plain numbers: a $42,000 service truck, $6,000 in tools, stock, and wrap, and a $12,000 payroll reserve for the first two months total $60,000, and a $15,000 contribution from cash the business can spare leaves a $45,000 planning gap. The crew is a system, and funding one piece while starving the rest leaves the whole system short.
Bring the evidence that gap will earn: the jobs behind the request and four recent, complete bank statements, against published guidelines starting at $25,000 in monthly business revenue, six months in business for a merchant cash advance or line of credit, and one year for equipment or term funding. Complete files can be reviewed in as little as 4 hours, with funding as fast as same day. Logic Advance is a growing funder, growing by backing companies whose boards are full — and by investing in the partner network serving them. If a bank saw a seasonal schedule where you see a route booked solid, or a broker kept your file circling while a job waited on materials, that runaround ends here. You found the team that funds crews, not just trucks. Apply once, and keep crews rolling.
Yes. HVAC contractors with documented revenue and operating history can apply for equipment, working capital, and expansion funding.
Working capital bridges the gap between buying materials and receiving milestone payments. A line of credit may suit repeat material draws.
Service vehicles are common equipment-financing purposes. Provide the dealer quote, upfit costs, and insurance estimates when you apply.
Show a full 12-month revenue cycle. Compare proposed payments against your slowest months before accepting any offer.
Licensed electrical contractors with operating history and revenue can apply. Trade, size, and structure do not disqualify a business on their own.
With a complete application, contractors can get a decision in as little as 4 hours and home service working capital as fast as same day. Apply directly to Logic Advance — no obligation.
Prepare a signed application and four recent, complete business bank statements. Licenses, job pipeline summaries, and ownership information may also be requested.
Start with the guides on this site — equipment decisions, offer comparison, cash-flow planning, and bank statement preparation. Industry associations also publish benchmarking data. And when you're ready for specifics, a direct conversation with a funding team beats generic articles.
Seasonal staffing and payroll, equipment purchases and vehicle fleets, materials for large jobs, and bridging the gap between completing work and getting paid. Most contractors need working capital that flexes with the job calendar — busy seasons and slow winters.
Three steps: know your numbers (monthly revenue, average job size, seasonal patterns), gather four recent bank statements, and apply directly — not through a broker chain. A decision can come in as little as 4 hours. The biggest delay is usually incomplete paperwork, so submit everything at once.
Talk directly with a funding team that knows the trades — seasonal cash flow, job-based revenue, equipment needs. Generic financial advisors often don't understand contractor economics. Ask how they evaluate businesses like yours before you share a single document.
Yes. A truck or key tool down in a busy week costs jobs every day it sits. Keep the dealer or repair quote ready, explain the work waiting, and submit a complete application with four recent bank statements. A decision can come in as little as 4 hours, so the repair or replacement can move before the schedule falls further behind.
Hiring ahead costs money before the new technician bills a single hour: recruiting, training time, tools, and a truck. Funding can cover that ramp-up so you are staffed before peak calls start, instead of turning work away or burning out the crew you already have. Share your hiring plan and expected start date with your application.
Yes. Slow seasons are normal in the trades, and losing a trained technician costs far more than bridging a few quiet weeks. Working capital can cover payroll and core costs while job volume is low, sized against your revenue history across busy and slow months, so your crew is intact when demand returns.
Yes. Larger jobs often need materials bought, permits paid, and extra crew scheduled weeks before the first payment arrives. Funding can bridge that upfront cost so you can say yes with confidence. Bring the contract or job details, the materials list, and your expected payment milestones so the request matches the job.
Credit history is one part of the review, not the whole decision. The review also weighs your monthly revenue, time in business, job history, and cash flow. Published guidelines start at $25,000 in monthly revenue. Be upfront about past challenges, show steady recent bank activity, and submit everything at once for the clearest review.
Yes. Many contractors fund again once a strong season proves what the business can do: another truck, another crew, or a second service area. A record of completed funding and growing revenue can strengthen the next review. Bring updated bank statements and a clear plan for what the next round will put to work.
After you apply, the team reviews your signed application and four recent, complete business bank statements alongside your monthly revenue, time in business, job history, and cash flow. A complete application can receive a decision in as little as 4 hours. If an offer follows, you review the net amount, total obligation, and payment terms in writing before you commit, with funding as fast as same day and no obligation to accept.
Build the request from the full cost of putting another crew on the road. This page totals a $60,000 example from a $42,000 service truck, $6,000 in tools, stock, and wrap, and a $12,000 payroll reserve for the first two months. If the business can contribute $15,000 without using essential operating cash, the remaining planning gap is $45,000 before financing fees or other costs.
The published starting guideline is $25,000 in monthly business revenue. Merchant cash advance and line-of-credit guidelines start at six months in business, while equipment and term-funding guidelines start at one year. Credit requirements and other conditions differ by product, and meeting a starting guideline does not guarantee approval.
Request the net amount your business will receive, the total payment or remittance obligation, all fees, the payment frequency, and the expected duration. Review any liens, guarantees, early-payment treatment, and reconciliation provisions, and remember that a factor rate on a merchant cash advance is not an APR when you compare offers side by side. Test the payment against your slowest months and your job cycle before you decide.
For a vehicle or equipment request, keep the dealer quote available. For growth capital, have recent job revenue, average ticket, and crew count ready. Add the amount requested, its business purpose, and your desired timing, and submit everything at once — the biggest delay is usually incomplete paperwork.
Match the product to the need. Equipment financing is worth reviewing for identifiable assets like service vehicles or major install equipment. A business line of credit may suit repeat draws for materials and recurring timing gaps, subject to available credit and account terms. Term funding may fit a defined expansion, such as a new location or service line, with a repayment plan. A merchant cash advance is a different structure based on future receivables, so compare its complete cost and collection terms against your job-cycle cash needs. The products available to your business depend on review.
Include them in the budget you present, the way this page includes tools, stock, and wrap in its $6,000 line beside the truck. Which of those costs a specific offer can cover varies by program, so confirm each line in writing before you commit to the purchase.
Run the one-truck budget first, including the payroll reserve, and test it against booked work and your slowest months. A crew that stays busy and paid through a slow stretch is the evidence that a second truck will earn its place; two trucks on a thin reserve usually strain payroll.
Your average ticket, the jobs a crew can complete per day, the weeks a new technician needs to reach full speed, and the payroll for that ramp period. Those figures size the reserve honestly and show the review a crew plan built on your real work, not on hope.
Yes, stocking current, efficient systems is a standard working capital or equipment use for home service companies. Bring the supplier quote and the demand you are seeing, and size the stock to your install schedule so units move into jobs instead of sitting in the warehouse.
Place the proposed payments on the same calendar as your slowest months before you sign, not just your busiest. Compare the full offer, the net amount received, the total obligation, every fee, and the payment frequency, against the weeks when emergency calls slow down and payroll does not.
Adding a service line, such as electrical work alongside plumbing, is an expansion use that can be reviewed like the truck-and-crew plan on this page: cost the vehicle, tools, licensing, and payroll ramp together, and bring the job demand that supports the new line.
Yes — materials for large jobs are a core use on this page, and a deposit due before work starts is the same need arriving earlier. List the deposit with the job it belongs to, its amount, and its due date, the way this page lists tools, stock, and wrap beside the truck: as a named line in the plan, not a surprise.
Bring the board: booked jobs, their values, their start dates, and the materials and crew each one needs. The application starts with a signed form and four recent, complete bank statements; a pipeline that matches those statements — deposits arriving, jobs completing, accounts paying — shows underwriting the revenue the request is built on.
That is the gap a payroll reserve exists for. This page builds a $12,000 payroll reserve for the first two months into its example so one late payment never reaches the crew. If the delay stretches, contact the team early and ask what your agreement allows — a late payer explained in advance is a conversation, not a crisis.
Track the plan against reality: jobs the truck actually served, billed hours per tech, materials used per job, and whether the payroll reserve held. This page's example assigned every dollar a job — the truck, the tools and wrap, the reserve. Ninety days of records showing those dollars working is the strongest file you can bring to the next review.
Yes. Taking on a larger commercial job that needs materials and crew upfront is a use this page names directly, and longer payment terms simply widen the gap the funding bridges. Size the request from the job's real costs and the account's actual payment history, with a reserve that carries payroll until the invoice clears.
It gives the review a track record: the first truck's jobs, revenue, and payment history become the evidence for the second. The guidelines do not change — $25,000 in monthly business revenue is the published starting point — but a funded truck that earned as planned is proof a stated purpose gets executed, and reviews weigh proof heavily.
Everything the first job needs: the truck itself, tools, stocked parts, the wrap that makes it a rolling sign, and a technician whose payroll is already covered. This page budgets the truck, $6,000 of tools, stock, and wrap, and a payroll reserve together because a truck missing any one of them is not yet a crew.
Build the two months from work you can point to: the signed job pipeline, maintenance agreements coming due, and the overflow your existing crews cannot reach. This page holds a $12,000 payroll reserve for the first two months inside its worked example, so the crew is planned against named jobs, not hope.
Yes — hiring and training before peak season are established uses on this page, and a helper's training and licensing belong in the same plan as the lead technician they will support. Name the costs and the start date when you apply, so the reserve covers the weeks before the helper is billable.
Expect the working costs around the crew: scheduling and dispatch time, insurance and licensing for the added truck, and the stock the new route consumes. They are smaller than the truck itself, but they land in the first month — include them in the plan rather than letting them compete with payroll.
Give the new truck its own starting stock line, the way this page includes tools and stock inside the truck budget, and restock it from the jobs it completes. A truck that borrows parts from the existing crews slows everyone down; a truck stocked on purpose starts earning on its first route.
Compare the month against the plan: jobs completed, revenue per day on the route, parts used, and whether the payroll reserve held. That first month is the track record your next review will read, and it shows whether a second crew should be funded the same way or sized differently.
Picture your crews booked out weeks ahead, your trucks stocked, and cash in the bank for whatever the season brings. That’s what working with a direct funding partner feels like. A short application, a decision in as little as 4 hours, and funding as fast as same day — simple and seamless from start to finish. Your search ends here — start your application now or talk with our team. No obligation.
