A contract packer in Sydney: growing orders, supplier bills first

The story in short

• 45 invoices funded since September 2024
• 12 months used, one after another to August 2025
• 2 increases to their funding limit
• 8 invoices in their busiest month, October 2024

The gap

The business packs products to order for a large national food company, which pays weekly. Buying the neighbouring business had been a growth move, and the orders were following.

Weekly payments help, but the supplier bills for each batch come in first. A stretch of large orders meant a lot of them landing together.

How they use FundTap

The owner joined in September 2024 and used FundTap in each of the 12 months to August 2025, funding 45 invoices. The food company paid as normal, and FundTap never contacted it.

October 2024 was the busiest month, with eight invoices funded. The funding limit was raised twice along the way.

What’s changed

They funded 19 invoices in 2024 and 26 in 2025. Nothing has been funded since August 2025.

For a packer paid weekly by a large customer, the gap comes in bursts, when a big batch of orders lands.

Sound like your business?

A big customer pays weekly, but the materials for the next batch are due first. Fund the invoice and keep the line running while the orders stack up.

Fund the next order without waiting on the last one.
