Mobilization Financing
Short-term capital that funds the upfront cost of starting a construction project, including materials, equipment staging, and initial labor, before the first pay application is approved.
Where the cash gap is largest
The first 30 to 60 days of a project are usually the most cash-intensive and the furthest from any approved billing. Mobilization financing covers that window.
It is typically retired by the first or second pay application, then refinanced into a progress-billing facility for the remainder of the job.
