"My publisher pays quarterly — this advance let me stop stressing for three months while I waited on the check."
"Ad revenue for our channel is always about 60 days behind — this closed that gap completely, no stress about payroll."
"Used it once on a slow-paying client invoice. The fee felt fair for exactly the problem it solved."
No. You're advancing against a payment that's already owed to you, not borrowing against future income you haven't earned.
We verify the payment source before advancing, and our team works directly with you if a payer's timeline shifts.
