How it works

From agreed stages to money in your account

Rivvet turns a quote into a set of agreed stages. You complete a stage, evidence it, your customer approves it — and the money for that stage becomes available to you without waiting for their payment date.

4 steps Approval in a tap Up to 80% instantly

The four steps

Sarah's kitchen, start to finish

The same journey the app on the home page runs through — here it is in full.

Agree the job in stages

Upload your quote, or create the project in Rivvet. Set the stages, values and expected completion dates so both sides are agreed.

Deposit £1,000

Record the work

Complete a stage and add photos. Everything stays linked to the project timeline.

Photos, videos and voice notes are captured on site and attached to the stage they belong to — see your record of work.

Get customer approval

Your customer reviews the work and approves it in a tap. Questions raised and captured in the app — not lost across loads of messages.

Access your money

Once approved, you can access up to 80% of the value of the stage without waiting for the customer to pay you.
