Stalled projects, slow payments, and an aging workforce—if you’re in construction, you know these are more than just buzzwords. They’re the reality. And the cash flow issues plaguing the industry? Those go deeper than just late payments or retainage.

In this podcast episode, our CEO, Scott Peper, goes straight to the heart of the problem: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀? 

He dissects the frustrating truth—banks have a hard time assessing the risks involved because construction lacks the standardized financial information they’re used to seeing.

But just because traditional banks can’t help doesn’t mean you’re out of options.

Scott lays out how contractors can stay ahead of the game by doing what most don’t—treating their business like a multi-million-dollar operation from day one. It’s not about waiting for things to go wrong before scrambling for solutions. It’s about being proactive, organizing your financials, hiring the right accountant early, and building a customer-centric approach that sets you apart from the competition.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

🔹 Why banks are reluctant to finance construction projects and what alternative steps you can take
🔹 How organizing your financials and creating a strong infrastructure is a real game-changer
🔹 Alternative funding sources—friends, family, credit cards, or specialized loan programs—to keep your projects moving
🔹 Why systems and processes aren’t just for big businesses—getting them in place now can help you survive the rough spots and thrive when the opportunities come

From understanding how to manage progressive billing and prime contracts to setting up the right financial structure early on, listen to real-world advice that you can put into practice today.
