Escrow & RahaKaitse

RahaKaitse for B2B Contracts and Milestone Payments

Business-to-business deals often involve larger sums, longer timelines, and multiple stages of work — which means more can go wrong, and more is at stake if it does. RahaKaitse escrow adapts well to these more complex transactions, not just simple one-off item sales.

Why B2B deals need more than a handshake

A services contract, a bulk goods order, or a project with deliverables spread over weeks or months carries risk at every stage: an initial payment made with no guarantee of the next milestone being reached, or a milestone completed with no guarantee of being paid for it. Traditional invoicing relies entirely on trust and, if that breaks down, expensive legal recourse.

Structuring milestone payments with escrow

  • Break the contract into clear milestones — for example, deposit on agreement, payment on delivery of a first batch, final payment on full completion.
  • Deposit each milestone's payment into the RahaKaitse smart contract before that phase of work begins.
  • Release funds for each milestone only once the deliverable for that stage is verified and confirmed.
  • Keep the paper trail — specifications, delivery confirmations, and communication — attached to each milestone in case a dispute needs review.

Benefits for both sides of the deal

The paying party gets confirmation that funds are committed and available before work begins, which builds confidence with new suppliers or partners. The receiving party gets certainty that payment is secured before investing time and resources into the next phase. For cross-border B2B trades in particular, where legal recourse across jurisdictions is slow and costly, this structure removes much of the uncertainty that normally comes with working with a new business partner.
