The problem

Long projects, slow cash.

Probleem 01

Work-in-progress runs ahead of cash.

Your team is delivering. Hours add up. But the invoice only follows at the milestone, sometimes months later. And payroll keeps running in the meantime.

Probleem 02

Milestone payments slip.

One customer pushes back delivery because a permit is pending or a revision is requested. The effect cascades through your whole quarterly budget.

Probleem 03

Retention stays stuck.

5 to 10% of every invoice is often withheld until after provisional acceptance. That's cash that exists on paper but only arrives a year later.
