The Challenge

Like many project-based businesses, Innovatus faced the challenge of balancing strong forward contracts with the cash flow demands of ongoing project delivery. Upfront labour, subcontractor, and materials costs needed to be met well before client payments landed. The business required a flexible funding solution that would preserve liquidity without resorting to expensive short-term credit.

What Nexus Solved

• Funding upfront project delivery costs

• Preserving working capital during live builds

• Avoiding reliance on high-cost short-term lending

• Enabling growth while maintaining strong fundamentals

With competitive pricing and a facility aligned to contract timing, the business gained certainty to take on and deliver major projects seamlessly.
