Roofing Approval Snapshot

Storm-driven cash flow creates the most extreme receivables gap in any trades industry. Here's how underwriters read it.

Factor 1 — Critical
Storm Season Evidence
Strong: 3-mo peak avg $40K+ Acceptable: Peak avg $15K–$40K Risk: No clear storm season spike
Factor 2 — High Impact
Off-Season Baseline
Strong: $8K+/month year-round Acceptable: Some off-season deposits Risk: Zero deposits Nov–Feb
Factor 3 — Medium Impact
NSF History
Strong: 0–1 NSFs total Acceptable: 2–3 in any one month Risk: Recurring NSFs off-season
Factor 4 — Qualifying
Advance Positions
Strong: None Acceptable: 1 position Risk: 2+ positions

Factor rates: 1.20–1.30 for strong profiles with consistent baseline deposits. 1.35–1.45 for storm-only revenue with little off-season activity. Apply immediately after storm season for best results.

The Insurance Payment Gap — Visualized

You do the work in week one. Insurance pays in week 12. MCA fills the middle.

Typical Insurance Claim Timeline
1
Job Starts
Materials purchased. Crew deployed. Day 0.
2
Job Complete
Work done. Invoice submitted to adjuster. Day 7–14.
3
Review
Insurance adjuster review period. Day 14–45.
4
Supplement
Supplements negotiated if underpaid. Day 30–60.
5
Payment Arrives
Check finally deposited. Day 30–90.

During steps 2–4 (Day 7 to Day 90), your money is gone on materials and labor but hasn't come back yet. An MCA advance bridges this gap immediately, allowing you to take on the next job while waiting for the previous one to pay.
