Read the story →Owner-operator trucking · Waikato and Bay of Plenty
A trucking business in Waikato and Bay of Plenty runs as an owner-operator for a national freight company, which pays at the end of the month after. When the freight company asked them to take on a run in a new area, the wages for it would go out long before the first payment came in.
“...the way we get paid is the last day of the month...”
A new run taken on, with the drivers paid before the freight company's payment lands.
Yes. Transport and logistics is a common use case for invoice finance because of high upfront operating costs combined with extended client payment terms.
How quickly do I receive funds?
Once your account is set up, you can fund an invoice and get funded within 2 hours of approval.
Can I fund invoices from multiple clients?
Yes. You can fund invoices from any of your B2B clients, selecting individual invoices as needed.
Is invoice finance available for owner-operators?
Yes. There is no minimum invoice volume, and the bar is low: more than $5,000 a month in revenue and three months of trading. If you invoice B2B clients through Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks or Reckon, you can use FundTap.
