Before we started working with Billd, we were in constant reactive mode. Now, we’re being more proactive with the business. The financial stress is lifted off. I’m not sitting at home late at night worrying about how am I going to pay this, in order to get this. When you’re not stressed like that, now we can go back to growing the business.
Our partnership with Billd has proved very beneficial and promising for our cashflow needs. This team understands the unique and difficult place which subcontractors fall on the construction food chain. Billd also implements the needed security in order to make the financing process safe and clear. To top it all off, we have had nothing but pleasant, helpful interactions with the team!
Billd is the #1 provider of working capital solutions for America’s subcontractors. We understand the unique needs of commercial construction businesses so we can offer larger lines of credit on terms that make sense for construction.
