The manual PDF chase
Today, without SureHold.
You email a PDF template. The sub prints, signs, scans, and emails it back — then you have to remember to release payment.
Nothing stops you from paying before a waiver is signed, or forgetting to pay after. Both create real lien exposure.
At project close, reconstructing waiver history means digging through email threads and shared drives.
SureHold’s automated flow
Payment and waiver, finally in lockstep.
Create a batch. Each sub gets an email with their waiver and amount. That is the whole workflow.
Funds release the moment the waiver is signed — never before, never forgotten.
Every waiver, payment, and timestamp on record per project — ready for the title company or owner on request.
How it works
Create a project and add your subs and suppliers. About two minutes.
Add line items — vendor, amount, through-date. SureHold stages the funds in escrow.
Each vendor gets a one-click signing link. The waiver is pre-filled from your project data.
On signature, the payment is released and an unconditional waiver is generated for your records — the full chain on one ledger.
Features
Conditional and unconditional templates pre-filled from your project data. On signature, payment releases and the unconditional waiver is generated automatically — the full chain on one ledger.
Simplified AIA G702/G703 pay apps with approve and reject workflow and a live payment-due preview.
Collect W-9s, track COI expiry, run TIN match, and prep year-end 1099s — vendor compliance in one place.
Each payment is staged on batch creation and marked released the moment its waiver is signed — a clear status the sub can see, never a manual release to chase.
Staged on creation · released the moment the waiver is signed
Microsoft Teams and a developer API with signed webhooks are live today; QuickBooks, Procore, Slack, and Plaid are built and rolling out.
How funds work
SureHold is not a bank or an escrow company, and we never take custody of your money. Payments run on Stripe Connect, a licensed payment provider — “escrow” here means a payment is staged and only released to your sub once the waiver is signed.
See how funds workPayment staged
On batch creation, funds are staged on Stripe Connect — never in a SureHold account.
Waiver signed
Your sub signs electronically. Timestamp and IP land on the ledger.
Payment released
The moment the waiver is signed, the payment releases to your sub. Never before, never forgotten.
