Early-payment platform where subcontractors can request early payment on invoices and general contractors fund those payments at an auction-set discount, invoice by invoice.
Overview
Earlytrade is an early-payment platform for construction. A general contractor sets up a program and chooses which subcontractors and projects are eligible. Subcontractors then see their approved invoices and estimated payment dates in an Earlytrade portal and decide, invoice by invoice, whether to offer a discount in exchange for being paid early.
According to the company, offers are evaluated against the GC's return targets and accepted automatically when they qualify, and the GC pays through its existing payment process from its own accounts. Earlytrade says it never handles the GC's money and describes the model as distinct from reverse factoring, vendor financing or supply chain finance.
Earlytrade says it manages subcontractor onboarding so the GC's team doesn't run the rollout. Subcontractors keep invoicing as usual. The company's homepage shows logos of construction software it works alongside, including Procore, CMiC, Sage, Trimble, Oracle, Textura and Vista.

The company runs separate sites for the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom.
