Growth Capital

When an operator returns a field ticket for correction before approval. Common causes include missing information, rate discrepancies, or insufficient documentation. Rejections delay payment and require rework.

Rates are negotiated upfront and apply for each calendar or operational day on site. This model gives field crews predictable revenue but ties income directly to days worked, not project milestones.

Financing borrowed against a specific project's revenue, not the owner's overall assets. Subcontractors should know this because payment depends on that project performing financially. If the project underperforms, your invoices may be delayed or disputed.

A subcontractor's ability to fund ongoing operations while awaiting payment from a prime contractor or client. It covers payroll, equipment costs, and materials during invoice gaps. Strong bridging capacity keeps crews mobilised and contracts on track without cash shortfalls.

A funding structure where a specific project secures its own debt and equity, separate from the sponsor's balance sheet.
