The story in short
- 1 invoice funded, in January 2026, during the slow summer months
- 9 months since that first funded invoice
- 1 of 9 months they’ve used FundTap since then, so it’s there when needed
The gap
Some customers get their invoice at the appointment, with the parts listed and the due date set for install day. The owner orders the parts and pays the supplier first, often weeks ahead of the job.
Summer makes it harder, because takings drop sharply from December to February. Suppliers shut over Christmas, yet the staff and the parts still need paying.
“jobs that we take deposits on, I guess, where we pay for the parts up front and all that sort of stuff.”
From a call with the FundTap team, January 2026
How they use FundTap
They came to FundTap through their broker in December 2025, just as the slow months set in. In January 2026 they funded one invoice to cover the parts bill ahead of the installs.
The fleet work is regular, but no two invoices look alike, from tyres to brake pads to servicing. Funding one invoice at a time suits that, and their customers still pay the workshop as normal.
What’s changed
They funded one invoice in January 2026, in the middle of the slow months, and haven’t funded another since. It sits ready for the next quiet stretch, when the parts bills again arrive before the takings.
Sound like your business?
You pay for the parts before the install, and summer thins the takings. FundTap funds the invoice so that bill isn’t waiting on the job.
