About FundTap, funding businesses since 2010
Our mission is to turn traditional finance on its head so small businesses can instantly access their money when needed to thrive and grow.
Our Story
We started in the invoice factoring and finance business in 2010. As technology and business changed we have found traditional factoring no longer met the needs of our clients. We needed to find a solution to make cashflow finance simpler, easier, and quicker. From this, FundTap was born.
Fundtap now operates across Australia and New Zealand, providing invoice finance to small businesses since 2010. Our people are located around the globe, with our headquarters in Nelson, a small paradise found at the top of the South Island of New Zealand.
Our team strives to be the best by continually innovating to find the best solutions for our clients.

Our Values
Make it Clear
Simplicity
We refuse to be lazy. Simple isn't lazy, it's focused. We do the hard work to make it simple, not simplistic. We own outcomes, say it plainly, and leave every room with a clear next action.
What great looks like:
- Clear ownership, clear accountability. We close it, not pass it on.
- Plain-spoken, respectful, honest. Surface it early.
- Disagree, decide, commit.
What we refuse to do:
- Jargon or needless complexity.
- Needless meetings without decisions.
- Hiding bad news or uncertainty.
Make it Real
Substance
We refuse to be superficial. If it's not real, it won't last. We build things that hold up under scrutiny. We create belonging by backing great people, enabling their best work, and holding each other to a high bar, even when it's hard.
What great looks like:
- Hire and build for people better than ourselves. Raise the bar, then raise it again.
- Solve today. Automate. Build in a way that compounds.
What we refuse to do:
- Tolerating below-bar work.
- Putting personal agendas over team or customer value.
Make it Move
Momentum
We refuse to be distracting. Trust and attention are earned, not wasted. We create clarity and forward motion, and build momentum in others. We act fast and purposefully, and continually test and learn.
What great looks like:
- Bias to action. Iterate as you learn.
- Every decision passes through the customer lens.
What we refuse to do:
- Analysis paralysis. Perfect is the enemy of done.
- Passing internal friction onto the customer.
