I've spent twenty years in corporate finance, and today I work as a fractional CFO for owner-led businesses, including trades and contractors. From the cash-flow side, a subcontractor carries the job. You pay your crew and your supplier this month, bill on the pay app, and wait while the GC waits on the owner, with retainage held back until the end. If that money never comes, your lien is the protection the law gives you, and it only holds if each notice went out by its deadline. Miss one date and the right is gone, however good the work was. The dates come straight from the statute, but they are easy to lose track of when you're running jobs. I built SubPayDesk so you can see every date on a job next to the section of law it comes from, and, once the desk opens, have each notice ready to sign well before it's due.
