For subcontractors
You did the work. Your retainage should earn like it.
Retainage is often a sub's entire profit on a job, held for a year or more while you float payroll. Retain-Edge doesn't change what's held. It pays you interest on it, shows it to you live, and releases it when your own scope is done.

3.7% / yr
Interest on money you already earned
The same rate every party earns, on your own retained balance. Today that money earns you zero.
Month 14, not 30
Your release doesn't wait on the landscaper
Each sub releases on its own clearance. Finish your scope, turn in your package, and your balance moves.
On the clock
A funding date everyone can see
Pay apps get a clear clock. No more guessing whether yours is "still under review."
What you get
Built for the way subs actually get paid.
Your own sub-account
Your retainage is tracked separately from everyone else's, with interest credited to you every month.
Late means interest to you
If retainage is funded late, the late interest is credited to you.
A closeout checklist from day one
See exactly which documents you owe and when. Upload with each pay app, not at the end.
Released with your interest
When your scope clears and release conditions are met, your retainage and interest are paid out together.
Monthly statements
Your balance, interest and fees, every month, in one place.
No cost to get your money
Fees come out of interest earned, never out of your retainage. You're never charged for access to your own funds.
The push that works
It starts with you asking your GC.
Retain-Edge goes into the contract between the owner and the GC, then flows down to you. GCs listen when their trades ask for something together. We wrote the message for you.
