Biography
Marcus Reed has spent nine years covering commercial lending and equipment finance for construction and trade businesses. Before moving into financial writing, he worked on the credit side of an equipment finance company, underwriting loans for contractors buying excavators, skid steers, and fleet trucks. That background shapes how he reviews lenders — he knows which terms actually matter to a contractor running thin margins between draws. Marcus focuses on construction business loans, heavy equipment financing, and the cash-flow tools contractors use to survive slow-paying clients: lines of credit, invoice factoring, and working capital. He updates rate ranges using direct lender sources and tracks how underwriting shifts across the building cycle.
