Countify Capital Provides Factoring Facility to Support Second-Generation Fireproofing Contractor
Flexible factoring solution provides immediate working capital
AUSTIN, Texas - JULY 16, 2026 — Countify Capital, a specialty finance company serving small- and middle-market businesses, provided a factoring facility for a privately-held fireproofing contractor based in the Chicago metropolitan area. The financing will support an accelerated growth strategy and the execution of a major new contract.
The Company specializes in thermal insulation, membrane roofing, waterproofing, and fire and smoke protection services for commercial and institutional clients. Following a quarter-century of steady, self-funded growth, the founding owner retired and transitioned leadership to his son, ushering in a new phase of expansion.
As a second-generation owner, the son pursued larger revenue opportunities and was subsequently awarded a significant contract by a local school district. While the award represented an important milestone for the business, the rapid scaling required to execute the project created immediate operational and working capital demands.
To bridge the gap between project startup costs and customer payment cycles, the Company sought a financing solution that could support growth without disrupting operations. A broker introduced the contractor to Countify Capital, which provided a flexible factoring facility to provide immediate liquidity for payroll, inventory purchases, and workforce expansion.
“This was more than a financing transaction,” said Amity Mercado, CAEF, Countify Capital CEO. “It was an opportunity to support a second-generation owner building on a strong family legacy and striving to make his father proud. That’s exactly who we are here to help – the people behind the invoice with a vision, a plan, and the ambition to reach their goals.”
With the new financing in place, the school district project is underway, the buildings and students who attend them are better protected, and the Company is well-positioned to take advantage of future opportunities. The facility demonstrates Countify’s commitment to helping entrepreneurs turn opportunities into sustainable success and provides a financing platform to support future contract wins and continued expansion.
