We help the construction industry fund itself by facilitating early payment negotiations between Head contractors and their subs. Earlytrade never touches your money.
1
You determine which subs and/or projects are eligible for early payment.
2
Subs review approved invoices and estimated payment dates in their dedicated Earlytrade portal, and choose whether to offer a discount and at what rate in order to be paid early.
3
Earlytrade evaluates discount offers against your custom return goals and the dynamic discounting market, and accepts good offers automatically.
4
You pay subs through your existing payment process, directly from your own accounts.
Subcontractors have embraced the platform quickly because it’s intuitive, transparent, and allows them to control costs in real time. It’s a game-changer for how they manage cash flow.
Choose which subs and projects are eligible for early payment and how much capital is allocated to the program.
Trade partners choose whether to request early payment and set their own discount offer rates.
Discount offers are evaluated against HC-defined parameters and supply/demand within the market.
Subs are paid the same way you currently pay them, just earlier in exchange for a discount.
