Flexible Funding to Grow Your Staffing Firm at Any Stage

Whether you’re launching your first placements or expanding nationally, our working capital solutions flex with your business.

Staffing startups

“We needed capital to run weekly payroll while clients paid Net 30–45.”

We can set up funding or full service back office, establish invoicing, and provide credit checks on new clients so that payroll is covered from week 1.

Mid-sized Staffing Firms

“Cash flow got tight as we opened two new branches.”

We provide cash advances on invoices, streamline invoicing and cash application, and reduce DSO—letting you free up cash to hire recruiters and add verticals.

Enterprise Staffing

“We expanded to three new markets and began an MSP program.”

We can custom tailor a larger facility tied to receivables, add reporting for executive visibility, and support VMS compliance to accelerate scale.

What Is Working Capital in Staffing?

Working capital is the cash you have available to run the business day to day. In simple terms: Working capital = Current assets (cash + accounts receivable) – Current liabilities (payroll, taxes, payables). For staffing firms, the challenge is timing. You pay employees weekly or biweekly, while clients often pay invoices in 30–90 days. That gap strains cash and can slow growth. Converting invoices into working capital helps you stay current on payroll, accept new orders, and maintain healthy operations—without waiting on slow payments.
