Financing for Carpenters
Carpenters need cash for tools, transport and the gap before payment. A reliable ute, a trailer, a track saw setup, nail guns and a decent kit of power tools can easily reach the ~$70,000 mark when you are gearing up or replacing worn gear. On top of that, you carry materials and labour for weeks before a builder pays. Equipment finance covers the gear, and a working-capital line covers the gap so a slow payment never stops the next job.
Common questions
Carpenters — business loan questions
Can I finance a ute and tools together?
Often yes. A work ute, trailer and your power tools can go on equipment finance, while a separate working-capital line covers materials and the wait on progress claims. Cockatoo helps match you to a lender that understands a building trade's cash cycle.
Will slow builder payments affect my application?
A gap between finishing work and getting paid is normal in carpentry, and good lenders expect it. Showing steady job volume and your repeat builder relationships usually matters more than one late payment.
