Going out on your own

From one truck to a real shop

Most plumbing companies start as one licensed plumber and one van. The jump to three or four techs is where cash gets tight: more vans, more parts inventory and payroll every week while commercial customers pay in 30 to 60 days. Finance the vans, keep a line of credit for parts, and add drain and sewer equipment early, since jetting and camera work usually pay better than service calls.

FAQ

Plumbing business financing questions

Can a new plumbing company get financing?

Yes. Startups are considered for van and equipment financing with strong personal credit, usually with a down payment. Working capital programs typically need at least 6 months of deposits.

Can I finance a used service van?

Yes. Used vans and equipment from dealers, private sellers and auctions can be financed, as long as the vehicle or equipment and seller can be verified.

Can I finance several vans at once?

Yes. One approval can cover multiple vans as they are delivered, from different dealers, combined into one monthly payment.

Do you finance hydro-jetters and sewer cameras?

Yes. Jetters, sewer cameras, locators, trenchless systems and excavation equipment can be leased or financed alone or bundled with a truck.

How much can I get on the application alone?

Up to about $250,000 for equipment with a one-page application, depending on credit and time in business. Larger amounts, up to $5,000,000, need financial statements.

What's the best way to pay for parts inventory?

A business line of credit usually fits best: draw for inventory and repay as jobs pay. It costs less than a cash advance and can be reused.
