FundTap turns your unpaid invoices into cash, within 2 hours of approval. You choose the invoice, connect Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks or Reckon, and see the exact fee before you confirm. Once approved, FundTap funds it within 2 hours, so a progress claim or a slow-paying head contractor isn't what decides when the next job starts.

The gap
The job's done and the invoice is out, but the head contractor, developer or council pays on their own schedule, often a month after the invoice date, sometimes 60 days once retentions and progress claims are factored in. Wages are due Friday regardless of when that invoice lands, and the next job needs materials before the last one has paid. FundTap funds the invoice you choose, money already owed to you, brought forward on your own timing, so a slow-paying head contractor isn't the reason the next job stalls.
