Contract Funding

Won the work?
Get the cash to deliver it.

The job's yours, but the money comes in once it's done. We advance the cash to start now, against the assets you already own.

The gap between winning and getting paid

You've won the contract.
Now you need to fund it.

The deposit, the materials, the hire, the subbies. Every contract takes cash to start, and the payment lands weeks or months after the work begins. We bridge that gap so you can say yes and deliver.

What the job demands up front

  • A deposit to secure the contract
  • Materials and stock before you start
  • Plant hire and mobilisation costs
  • Subbies and crew paid before your first claim

What we do about it

  • Valuation on your existing assets, same day
  • Funding decision in 2 hours
  • Cash in your account, hours not weeks
  • You start the job with the money already in hand
How ABL helps

We advance cash against the assets you already own.

So you can take the job on and deliver it with confidence. No credit checks. No financials. No invoices pledged. Just same-day funding when the work can't wait for the first payment.

When the cash flow doesn't line up

What's on the line.

A contract you can't fund is a contract you can't take. Here's what's usually at stake.

The contract

Say no because you can't fund the start, and the work goes to someone who can.

The crew

Subbies and suppliers want paying before your first progress claim clears.

The relationship

Deliver this one well and the next contracts follow. Stumble at the start and they don't.

The work is yours to win. The cash shouldn't be what stops you.

Contract Funding FAQs

Common questions about contract funding.

How fast can you actually fund?

Same day in most cases. Once we've valued your asset and completed paperwork, funds can be in your account within hours. The current record is 6 hours from enquiry to funded.

Can I get funding before I've invoiced anything?

Yes. We lend against the assets you already own, not against your invoices or your trading history. So you can get the cash to start the job before the first payment ever lands.

Do I need to put up the contract or invoices as security?

No. This isn't invoice finance or factoring. We secure against an asset you already own, such as equipment, vehicles, machinery, or personal assets. Your contract and your client relationship stay entirely yours.

How much can I borrow?

Up to 70% of the forced sale value of the asset, with loan amounts from $20K to $1M. Higher facilities are available with multiple assets.

Can I keep using my equipment while it secures the funding?

Yes. Use Track It. The asset stays in service with you and keeps earning on the job. We GPS-track it during the loan term, but it never leaves the work.

Do you check my credit or ask for financials?

No. We assess the asset, not the borrower. No credit checks, no BAS, no tax returns, no financial statements.
