Beers Construction Partners collaborates with Skyscend to launch a Supply Chain Finance initiative in order to pay subcontractors more quickly.
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, UNITED STATES, August 25, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Subcontractors in the construction industry have long struggled with working capital and cash flow issues resulting from traditional financial procedures. Skyscend Inc., a leading fintech provider of procure-to-pay, P2P, automation services, in collaboration with Skyscend Capital, introduced a Supply Chain Finance (SCF) initiative to enable Beers Construction Partners (BCP) to accelerate payments to its subcontractors. For a fee, the program allows eligible subcontractors to be paid far more quickly than standard payment terms.
The SCF program's participating subcontractors access their approved invoices through BCP Pay, a white-labeled version of Skyscend Pay, and submit requests for early payment. In exchange for a fee, they receive their payments at the predetermined time, which is substantially earlier than they would otherwise. As a result, the subcontractors gain access to increased working capital and cash flow, which allows them to grow and expand their businesses.
BCP, on the other hand, can forge deeper connections with subcontractors, work with more reliable project partners, and even secure lower bids as a result of the lower financing costs of subcontractors.
Commenting on the announcement, Chad Beers, CEO of BCP said, “We are delighted to be partnering with Skyscend, with this initiative. Accelerated payments are not considered debt, unlike bank loans, and as a result, won't increase financial liabilities. This benefit promotes growth and reduce the risk of capital issues affecting our subcontractors’ ability to finish work – as well as our ability to execute a problem-free project on schedule and on budget”.
"The Supply Chain Financing program supported by Skyscend accelerates payments, promotes growth and reduces risk of capital issues affecting our subcontractors' ability to finish work."

Sanjay Raghavaraju, Managing Partner of BCP, also commented, “Skyscend’s SCF program enables our subcontractors to access faster and predictable payments. This makes them less dependent on high-cost financing, improves cash flow and could even fortify their balance sheets.”
“Our SCF program allows general contractors like BCP to improve their cash position and gives subcontractors access to much-needed working capital that they can’t get on the credit markets right now. Thus, we address the liquidity tied up in construction business operations. Skyscend is committed to assisting SMEs worldwide in optimizing their working capital across the supply chain.” added Chaya Gangadarappa, Founder & President of Skyscend.
