You’ll receive payment once the customer confirms that the task or milestone has been completed.
With CPS, delayed payments are no longer a concern. Once a customer agrees to the job, their payment is securely held in escrow before any work begins. This guarantees that funds are available and will only be released when the job is completed and approved—or, if there’s a dispute, after a fair arbitration process. This means no more chasing payments or unpaid invoices.

For projects over £25,000 and up £100,000 to the fee is £74.99.
For projects over £100,000 the fee is £99.99.
Payments can be structured in full once the job is completed or split into agreed milestones, depending on the scope of the job. Funds are held in a secure escrow account, giving you peace of mind that payment is locked in before you begin. Once each stage is signed off, the relevant amount is released to you automatically.
