The story in short
- 3 invoices funded, one a month from May to July 2025
- 3 months used, back to back after joining
- 17 months since their first funded invoice
The gap
In fabrication, the metal and the labour go out while the work is being made. The invoice follows, and payment arrives on the 20th of the following month.
A job finished early in one month isn’t paid for until the 20th of the next. For a subcontractor taking on the next job, that’s a long stretch to carry.
How they use FundTap
The owner joined in May 2025 through their broker and funded an invoice in the same month. One more followed in June and another in July.
They funded one invoice at a time, so the cost of the work was covered while the 20th came round. The construction firms still paid the fabricator as they always had.
What’s changed
It was a short run: three invoices in the first three months, and none since July 2025.
That suits a subcontractor paid on a fixed monthly date. They can fund one job or several, then leave it alone until the next big one.

The invoice says the 20th of next month, but the metal and labour are already spent. Fund that invoice and get the next job started.
