The story in short
- 7 invoices funded between September 2024 and December 2024
- 4 invoices funded in November 2024, their busiest month
- 3 months with an invoice funded
The gap
Work is billed in stages as it progresses, and each stage invoice then waits on customer payment terms.
Meanwhile materials and wages are paid for as the jobs go through the shop. With a full workload, those bills were arriving faster than the invoices going out.
How they use FundTap
They used FundTap in three months between September and December 2024, funding seven invoices on four funding days.
November 2024 was the busiest month, with four invoices funded.
