For Builders & Stylists

Help more clients say yes to the work.

In short

Maksima gives approved builders, trades and stylists a structured funding pathway for clients who want to move forward but are hesitant about upfront renovation cost.

The problem

Why builders & stylists get stuck.

Quotes that stall on funding

You've quoted well. The client wants to proceed. Cash is the blocker.

Slow approvals kill momentum

You need the job scheduled, not parked.

Manual invoicing and progress claims

Time you'd rather spend on site.
