From design software to adding staff, Rainstar Capital Group connects architecture firms with commercial financing built around project billing cycles.
Architecture firms bill on milestones and often wait for payment. Between project billing cycles and the cost of technology, architecture firms need capital that fits the way their business actually works, not a one-size-fits-all loan.
The right financing turns those pressures into opportunities. It lets architecture firms invest in design software, plotters and computers and pursue growth such as adding staff, without draining the cash that keeps daily operations running.
We work with architecture and design firms, and we structure every request around the realities of your cash cycle, from project billing cycles to the equipment and space you need to grow.
Architects shape the places we live and work, and we love financing their firms. Milestone billing can leave long gaps between payments, and our financing keeps your team designing while clients move through approvals.
