Escrow and milestone payments for builders
Long jobs shouldn't leave you carrying huge amounts owed. CASHBOX lets you stage a build into escrow-backed milestones — each one funded before work starts and released the moment it's approved.
Sound familiar?
- You're owed the whole job value until the very end.
- Progress payments are hard to enforce.
- Deposits for materials are large and feel risky to the client.
- A single non-paying client can sink a month's cash flow.
How CASHBOX helps
Stage the job into milestones
Deposit, rough-in, completion — fund each stage into escrow before the work starts and release it on sign-off. Cash flow stays steady across the whole build.
Protect big material deposits
Clients happily fund large deposits when the money's held on trust rather than handed over — so you can order materials without carrying the risk alone.
Cap what you're owed
You're never exposed for the entire job value at once, which limits the damage if anything goes wrong.
Clear records for every stage
Each milestone has a clean record of what was funded and released — simple for you, the client, and your accountant.
