Payroll Funding & Invoice Factoring Staffing & Recruitment Agencies

Payroll funding is a creative, flexible way to fuel your staffing firm’s growth without the restrictions and red tape of traditional bank loans or lines of credit.

What is Payroll Funding?

Also known as invoice factoring, invoice financing or A/R funding, payroll funding allows you to sell your accounts receivable for cash to meet payroll for 1099 employees, independent contractors, and other staff.

Frequently Asked Questions

Invoice factoring is when a business sells its outstanding accounts receivable to a third party exchange for immediate liquid capital, less a fee.

Invoice factoring is designed specifically for businesses like staffing because of the unique payment structure. In staffing, you often have to wait 30-90 days for payment from your clients, while you pay your staff weekly. This can cause a cash flow nightmare, and be limiting to your growth. Invoice factoring gives you the cash necessary to grow without having to worry about making payroll.

No difference. Payroll funding is the term we use when talking about invoice factoring specifically for the staffing industry.

The cost of factoring is variable and depends on many factors – the amount of your receivables, financial stability of your business, the size of each invoice, etc. To get a true estimate of the cost for your individual business, contact an Advance Partners rep today for a free consultation.

Full service is an add-on service where the same third party that does your invoice factoring will also do back office tasks like creating and processing invoices, processing payroll, and doing payroll taxes.

Up to 90%+ for Funding Only clients and 100% for Full Service clients.

Each agreement is customized to meet individual growth goals. Our typical agreement term is 18 to 24 months.

Yes, factoring companies typically send out 1099 forms to businesses whose invoices they have purchased and collected payment for during the tax year. This form reports the income received by the business from the factoring company and is used for tax reporting purposes.

Factoring companies ask for tax documents to verify the financial health of the business and assess its ability to repay the advance. These documents, including tax returns and financial statements, help factoring companies determine the creditworthiness and risk associated with funding the business’s invoices.
