Video: how a small business runs payroll and pays contractors from one wallet

Here's how money moves through Invincible Pay for a small business. Take Ridgeway Contracting. It renovates homes, buys its materials from suppliers and has a crew to pay.

When a job is done, Ridgeway sends the invoice with a payment link. The customer taps the link, pays by Interac e-Transfer, and the money lands in Ridgeway's Invincible Pay wallet. Every invoice payment lands in the same wallet.

When the materials bill comes due, Ridgeway pays its contractor by direct deposit, straight from the wallet. On payday, Ridgeway runs payroll for the whole crew with one bulk direct deposit.

Payroll and contractor payments shouldn't slow you down. With Invincible Pay, you handle both in a few easy steps.

Why payday takes more work than it should

A small business gets paid job by job and pays its people every week or two. Most of the work is moving money between the two.

  1. Waiting on your own invoices

    Customers who pay by cheque take days to reach you. Payday comes either way.

  2. One payment at a time

    Paying each crew member and contractor separately takes time you'd rather spend on the job.

  3. Limits on a bigger payday

    A typical bank caps e-Transfers at around $10,000, so a bigger payroll gets split across days.

Get paid and pay your people from one wallet

Put an Interac e-Transfer request on every invoice, pay contractors by direct deposit and pay the crew with one bulk direct deposit. Send up to $25,000 per e-Transfer, with no daily limit.

What we'll ask a small business

For a small business, onboarding is short. We'll ask who runs the business, who you pay, and roughly what moves through it each month.

  • The people who own and run it: directors, officers and anyone owning 25% or more verify their identity online.
  • What your business does, and who your customers are.
  • How you pay your people: how many are on payroll, and how many contractors you pay.
  • Your monthly numbers: the invoices you collect and the payroll you send.
  • A contact for your account: a name, email address and phone number.
