Construction Business Loans for New Orleans businesses

Construction financing in New Orleans splits into two categories - capital for the contractor (working capital, equipment, AR financing on AIA progress billings) and capital for the project (multi-draw construction loans for the building itself). Most New Orleans GCs need both: a revolving line to bridge slow-pay owners and progress retainage, plus equipment loans for trucks, lifts and specialty gear.

Construction loans (for the project, not the contractor) are draw-based, interest-only during the build, and typically convert to permanent financing at certificate of occupancy. LTC tops out around 80% on conventional, 75-80% on SBA 504. We have routed both ground-up projects and value-add renovation deals across Orleans Parish. The mix between bridge and permanent financing matters more than headline rate on most deals.

Every Drawbridge Lending application runs through Louisiana-licensed lending partners -- one soft credit pull, side-by-side offers, no fee until close.
