Voxen insight
Construction financing is about velocity — how fast you can cycle capital through projects. The companies that grow fastest are the ones that do not wait for progress payments to start the next project. They use invoice financing on completed billings and equipment financing to keep their fleet ready. Capital velocity is the competitive advantage.
The Cash Flow Problem in Construction
Progress billing delays mean you may complete 30–60% of a project before receiving your first payment. Meanwhile, materials, subcontractors, and labor need to be paid upfront. This creates a capital gap that limits your ability to bid on larger contracts.
Equipment Financing for Heavy Machinery
Excavators, cranes, concrete trucks, and specialized tools can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Equipment financing lets you spread these costs over 24–84 months while the equipment generates revenue from day one.
Invoice Financing for Progress Billings
Convert your approved progress billings and completed invoices into immediate cash. Instead of waiting 30–90 days for payment, receive up to 95% of the invoice value within 24 hours.
Structuring Capital for Larger Bids
Voxen Capital helps construction companies layer equipment financing ($25K–$5M) with invoice financing ($30K–$50M) to create the capital foundation needed to pursue bigger projects and grow your operation.

Frequently asked questions
Can I finance a construction project before I receive progress payments?

Excavators, backhoes, cranes, dump trucks, concrete trucks, compactors, generators, scaffolding, and virtually any capital equipment used in construction. New and used equipment qualifies.
