I am a loan broker who is trying to help a restoration company get back on its feet. It needs working capital because A/R payments are very slow. The owner loaded up on personal credit cards to provide working capital to his company. As a result, his credit score has tanked and banks are rejecting him. I believe we can get some relief if insurance companies will allow payments to the restoration company through a lockbox set up by the A/R factoring company....Read More
When I send out CA Prelim's I have been listing my company (Pella Doors and Windows) as the "Material Supplier" BUT, we use 2 separate Pella approved General Contractor companies to do the actual installation. One of my co-workers is adamant that I should be listing us (Pella) as the Contractors (instead of being Material Suppliers).
I just want to do it correctly in case we end up in a Mechanics Lien situation. Any clarification would be helpful.

I'm not sure if this falls under supplier to supplier category, but I think it may. We are a materials supplier and are considering working with a concrete plant where the materials we supply and deliver will be blended into the concrete that is then delivered out to another job site. I believe we would fall as a Tier 1 supplier and my question would be can we file against the job where the concrete was delivered if we do not receive payment from the concrete plant who originally hired us to deliver the material to be blended?...Read More
If I use a company to buy materials from for a project but I physically go to their location to pick up the material and they wanted to file a lien on me for not paying the invoice on time. Would that be based on the state their store is in and where I went to get the material or would that be based on the state my project is in. I did not provide a project address to them and they did not physically go there....Read More
