The story in short
- 14 invoices funded since November 2024
- 8 of 23 months with an invoice funded since they joined
- 4 invoices funded in their first month, November 2024
- 2 increases to their funding limit
The gap
Everything they build is for other businesses, and the bigger firms want monthly terms. That leaves the workshop paying for materials well before it gets paid.
When they joined FundTap, one big job was nearly finished and another invoice was due out that month.
How they use FundTap
They use FundTap when a job calls for it, not every month: eight of the 23 months since November 2024.
Over that time they’ve funded 14 invoices on 11 funding days. Four went through in their first month, nine in 2025 and one in 2026.

What’s changed
In October 2025 the owner rang to ask for more room, because the jobs had outgrown the limit.
Their funding limit has gone up twice as the jobs got bigger, and their customers pay them as normal.
