Can a Texas contractor use MCA for draw cycle bridging?
Yes. Draw cycle bridging is the most common MCA use case for Texas construction contractors. Materials and labor must be paid before the next draw is released. MCA provides the 2-4 week bridge and is repaid from daily bank deposits as project draws arrive.
Can a Texas oil field services contractor get MCA?
Yes. Texas energy sector contractors (field services, equipment rental, pipeline maintenance, pressure pumping) qualify when they have consistent monthly deposits from oil and gas operators. Monthly deposits of $80,000+ from energy clients typically qualify for $60,000-$120,000.
What contractor types qualify in Texas?
All contractor types qualify: GCs, roofing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, energy sector contractors, landscaping, paving, concrete, and specialty subcontractors. The primary requirement is 6 months operating with $4,000-$6,000+/month in deposits.
Does Texas require MCA disclosure for contractors?
Yes. Texas HB 700, effective September 1, 2025, requires finance charge and total repayment disclosure (not APR) for financing under $1,000,000, with OCCC registration required by December 31, 2026. T.A.G. provides full disclosure (factor rate, total payback, holdback percentage) on every Texas offer.

The 30 to 90 day draw cycle shown above is common across trades. What varies is how a specific contractor's deposits absorb that wait.

The Texas Contractor Draw Cycle

A signed contract does not pay the crew. Texas contractors front materials, labor, and mobilization costs weeks before a GC or owner draw actually clears. The gap between doing the work and getting paid for it is what MCA is built to bridge, not a way to fund a business that is not otherwise winning signed work.

Texas contractor draw-cycle timeline Illustrative draw-cycle timeline for a Texas contractor: Contract Signed (Mobilization begins) then Work In Progress (Crew, materials, payroll) then Draw Requested (AIA / GC billing cycle) then Draw Paid (30-90 days later). The gap between mobilizing on a job and the draw that pays for it is what MCA is built to bridge.

When Texas Contractor MCA Is (and Isn't) the Right Move

MCA is a bridge for a specific, time-boxed gap between a signed contract and the draw that pays for it. It is not the cheapest way to fund long-term growth or to cover a business that is not winning enough signed work on its own. The comparison below is meant to help you decide before you apply, not after.

When contractor MCA fits vs. when to wait, Texas A two-column comparison for Texas contractors: situations where a merchant cash advance solves a real, time-boxed draw-cycle gap, versus situations where a contractor should slow down, get a signed contract first, or compare a lower-cost option before applying. MCA fits right now when: A signed Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio commercial contract needs materials and labor paid before the next AIA draw. An energy-sector contract (field services, pipeline maintenance) has consistent deposits but a specific draw-timing gap. A new project win needs 2-4 weeks of bridge capital between mobilization and the first draw. Wait or compare options first when: You only have a bid or estimate, not a signed contract or purchase order. Deposits are down for reasons unrelated to a specific draw-cycle timing gap, and MCA would just cover a shortfall. You have time to compare a bank line of credit or SBA option before committing to a factor rate.
