Working Capital & BG Limits for Contractors

Bank guarantees, mobilisation funding and receivable finance for civil, electrical, MEP and government contractors.

How We Serve the Contractors Sector

Contracting runs on guarantees and patience: EMD and performance BGs locked before revenue begins, mobilisation costs paid upfront, RA bills certified slowly, and retention held for years after completion.

We arrange non-fund BG limits sized to your bidding pipeline, working capital against certified RA bills, and receivable financing for government and PSU billing — so execution capacity, not banking limits, decides which tenders you chase.

Funding Challenges We Solve

BG limits blocking new tender participation
RA bill certification cycles of 60–120 days
Retention money locked 12–24 months post-completion
Mobilisation costs preceding any client payment

Case Study

Civil contractor (state PWD + NHAI), Nagpur

₹25 Crore BG + fund-based enhancement

The Challenge

A road contractor pre-qualified for ₹200 Cr of NHAI tenders but had BG headroom of just ₹4 Cr. The bank demanded 40% cash margin on any enhancement.

Our Solution

We syndicated a two-bank consortium: ₹18 Cr BG limits at 15% margin backed by property collateral, plus ₹7 Cr working capital with RA-bill discounting sub-limits for certified government receivables.

Business Impact

  • BG capacity up 4.5x — three NHAI packages won in 8 months
  • Cash margin reduced from 40% to 15%, freeing ₹5+ Cr liquidity
  • RA bills now discounted within 72 hours of certification
