How it works

Project on. Client in. Payments handled.

Three steps from job created to fully managed staged payments — no invoicing, no chasing, no spreadsheets.

1

Create the job

Set the total value, split labour and materials, choose duration. Build the payment schedule — deposit, weekly stages, final.

2

Invite your client

Enter their email. Cabin sends them a secure link. They review the schedule, add their card, and pay the deposit. No app required.

3

Get paid on schedule

Weekly stages charge automatically. Your client approves each release. CIS deducted on every payment. Final stage requires both approvals.

Everything handled. Nothing missed.

Cabin Advance isn't just a payment tool — it's a full compliance and payment rail for project work.

CIS on every payment

Cabin is the CIS contractor. Deductions calculated on labour, applied on every release, recorded for your monthly return. Nothing to file manually.

Staged client payments

Deposit captured on sign-up. Weekly stages charged automatically. Client gets a reminder 48 hours before each payment — no surprises.

Dual approval on final

The final payment only releases when both you and your client approve. No disputes, no withheld money, no awkward conversations.

Zero cost to your client

Your client pays no platform fee. They get a professional payment experience, full schedule visibility, and protected staged deposits.

Deduction statements

A CIS deduction statement is generated after every payment. Emailed to you automatically, stored in the app, ready for your accountant.

Materials excluded from CIS

Set your labour and materials split when creating the job. CIS deductions apply to labour only — materials pass through in full.

Who it's for

Trades and builders running projects.

If you're doing work over more than a day and taking money from a client, Cabin Advance handles the financial side.

Builders managing trades

You're bringing in sub-trades and managing the project on behalf of a client.

  • Full project management
  • Multiple trades, one client
  • CIS obligations on every sub
  • Client-facing payment schedule

What your client sees.

A clear, professional payment schedule. Every stage, every amount, every release condition — transparent from day one.
