Cashflow or Growth. We could help with both!

As a tradie, you know that cash flow can play a vital role in your business’s day-to-day. Then there are the times you might need funds to take business up a notch. Talk to Prospa.
Whether you’re on the tools or managing others who are, this time tomorrow you could have a flexible funding solution suited to your business’s needs – whatever they may be.

  • Cover cash flow gaps. Keep everything moving when billing and client payments don’t quite line up.
  • Upgrade vehicles and equipment. Avoid forced downtime due to equipment failure by staying on top of your maintenance.
  • Keep your suppliers on side. Maintain the reputation that you always pay your contractors and suppliers on time.
  • Stock up. Make sure you’re prepared well in advance for upcoming jobs with everything you need on hand.
