Billd is a financial solutions provider that supports commercial subcontractors by addressing some of their biggest cash flow challenges. Their products are uniquely tailored to the needs of construction businesses, allowing business owners to take on more projects and achieve their goals.
Material financing offers contractors 120-day terms to pay for commercial construction materials. Billd will purchase the materials from any supplier upfront and in cash, allowing contractors to pay them back once paid. By providing more flexible repayment terms than is standard, Billd prevents contractors from missing out on projects due to cash flow.
Contractors can also use Billd to get paid sooner on their pay apps, allowing them to cover labor and operational costs without the stressful burden of delays. The Pay App Advance feature was designed to help commercial subcontractors speed up the repayment cycle, eliminate pesky receivable balances, and keep operations running smoothly.
Billd Story
Billd was started by Christopher Doyle and Jesse Weissburg, industry veterans in both construction and finance. Chris and Jesse were inspired to launch Billd to bring the financial power of Wall Street to the construction job site and to champion the subcontractor, a group that’s historically gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to construction payments. Billd’s suite of payment solutions allow subcontractors to bypass project hurdles with access to extended payment terms for materials and faster payment on invoices. With a deep understanding of the construction industry, Billd knows traditional credit metrics are poor predictors for risk in this vertical segment and has built a variety of industry-specific proprietary analytic tools to better assess risk in the construction industry.
