The challenge
Doing the work was never the problem. Waiting to get paid for it was.
Mugleston's had the demand and the team to deliver it. What held them back was the gap between finishing a job and seeing the money. Final payments could sit for weeks while a customer organised funds, and grant money meant waiting on Ofgem.
Meanwhile the next job needed kit paid for up front. Cash was tied up in work already done, so the number of installs they could run at once came down to what they could afford to float — not what they could fit in the diary.
Ample closed the gap. You're paid within one working day of each confirmed milestone — no waiting on customers, no waiting on Ofgem. And with Equipment Advance, the funds for kit can be released before the job starts, so the cost never lands on you. The money arrives on a timeline you can plan around.
The outcome
More jobs running at once, none of them waiting on a payment.
Since joining Ample, Mugleston's get paid within a day of each milestone instead of waiting an average of 45. With kit funded up front, they no longer dip into their own cash to start a job. Predictable money in, no float tied up in finished work. The work didn't change. Getting paid for
