How staged payments protect your work

Why MANDE pays you in six parts as a job moves, and what that means for your workshop.

A furniture job can take weeks. When pay only comes at the end, the maker carries the cost of every day before it. On MANDE, you're paid as the work moves instead.

Paid as you go

  • 10% when the job starts
  • 12% at Frame, 14% at Assembly, 18% at Finishing and 18% at Delivery, each as it's approved
  • 28% once the finished work is signed off

Each part lands in your MANDE wallet the moment it's earned, and you can withdraw it to your bank whenever you like, free of charge.

Materials are covered

Design and Materials don't carry a payment because materials aren't paid out of your labour: timber and fittings are bought from the money set aside for the job.

What it means for your workshop

  • You're paid from the day a job starts.
  • Every approved stage is money in your wallet, not a promise.
  • Finishing on time, with nothing sent back, adds a 5% bonus on your share.
