Roofing contractors experience severe cash flow problems because insurance carriers delay releasing claim payouts for 45–90 days, while suppliers and crews require immediate payment.

Traditional financing requires credit checks and time, and does not solve the underlying issue of slow insurance payouts. Public adjusters are used reactively but are not integrated with a fast funding solution.
