To tide over: to carry someone through a gap.
That's the whole company. Suppliers ship an order and wait months to be paid. Their buyers — contractors, brands, distributors, retailers — wait months to be paid themselves. The gap is structural — milestone payments and retainage on one side, retailer terms and sell-through on the other — and it isn't going away, so someone has to carry it. We think that someone should be a balance sheet built for the purpose, not the supplier's working capital.
Yellowpay pays suppliers within 2 business days, gives their buyers up to 120 days, and takes the credit risk in between. We started in solar supply — it's most of what we finance today — extended into data center construction on the same electrical and mechanical supply chain, and now underwrite consumer packaged goods and durable goods, where the buyer's cash comes from the shelf instead of the milestone.
