The story in short
- 22 invoices funded since October 2024
- 9 of 24 months used since their first funded invoice
- 14 invoices funded in 2025
- 9 invoices in their busiest month, February 2025
The gap
Most of the revenue comes from bulk orders for retailers, with online sales making up the rest. The plan was to grow both: global online sales, and bigger contracts with retailers.
A national TV shopping channel is among the big retail customers, and its orders can be very large on long payment terms. Local makers and materials have to be paid long before that money arrives.
How they use FundTap
The owner joined in September 2024 and funded a first invoice in October 2024. Use picked up in 2025, with 14 invoices funded and February 2025 the busiest month, at nine.
They fund an invoice when a big retail order goes out, so local makers and materials are paid on time. The retailers pay as normal and aren’t contacted.
