A mining labour-hire firm in regional Queensland: subcontractors paid on time

The story in short

• 36 invoices funded since February 2024
• 13 of 32 months with at least one funded invoice since that first funding
• 17 invoices funded in 2026 so far, up from 14 in 2025
• 2 increases to their funding limit

The gap

Their subcontractors are paid on set terms, counted from each invoice. The mining clients pay once the month closes, and that date can get pushed out.

As the business grew, it took on more subcontractors. Each one added to what went out before client payments came in.

How they use FundTap

They funded their first invoice in February 2024 and have returned in 13 of the 32 months since. Use has picked up each year. They funded five invoices in 2024, 14 in 2025 and 17 in 2026 so far.

December 2025 was their busiest month, with six invoices funded. Their clients pay them as normal.

What’s changed

The funding limit has gone up twice as the team has grown. Subcontractors get paid on their own terms without the wait on the mining clients’ payment dates.
