The story in short
- 1 invoice funded, in May 2025
- 1 increase to their funding limit
- 0 invoices funded in 2026 so far, so nothing to pay
The gap
Sales commission is paid in part when a sale is confirmed and the rest at settlement. New builds can take longer to settle, which pushes the second payment further out.
Once commission is received, it sits in trust before the next pay run. The agency’s own costs keep running in the meantime.
How they use FundTap
They funded a commission invoice in May 2025, while the sale waited on settlement. Their funding limit has since been raised once.
The people who owe the commission are never contacted and pay as normal.
What’s changed
A year on, FundTap is a number they keep for the next long settlement. Their last funded invoice was in May 2025, and by December 2025 they had nothing they needed funded.
“... We’re doing well. We’re not in need of anything at the moment, but I have you guys in my phone book, and for sure I’ll contact you if we need you here.”
