The milestone rhythm
Project work often pays in chunks at milestones, but your costs — wages, suppliers — run steadily throughout. Between milestones, cash can run tight even on a profitable project.
Smooth the cash flow
A working-capital facility bridges the gaps between milestone payments so steady outgoings are covered when billing is lumpy. Draw down between milestones and repay as each is paid.
Bill milestones tightly
Structure milestones to bill as early and often as the contract allows, and invoice the moment each is hit. Combined with a facility, that keeps cash flow steady across the project.
