Staffing Factoring (Payroll Factoring)

Staffing factoring (also known as payroll factoring or payroll funding) is a process that allows staffing companies to finance outstanding receivables to secure immediate working capital. Many staffing agencies and recruiting companies have used this funding method to cover payroll expenses. Unlike bank loans and lines of credit, staffing factoring does not require any interest payments. This alternative method of funding is not a loan, rather is a sale of receivables. Staffing companies constantly face the challenge of sustaining payroll due to slow-paying invoices.

They have a service providing temporary and/or contract staff to clients, and that workforce has to be paid regularly. A staffing company has to meet weekly and monthly payroll in order to run their business. However, most contracts usually have net-30 to net-60 terms, which often leads to slow-paying receivables.

This can cause insufficient cash reserves and cash flow problems. Many staffing companies cannot afford to wait for invoice payments when they have various payroll deadlines to meet. Payroll factoring is a common financing solution for staffing companies.

Payroll factoring has many advantages, including:

• Consistent and predictable cash flow

Payroll factoring guarantees that you will receive ongoing working capital.

• Enables business growth

With payroll factoring, staffing companies can run and grow their business without any cash flow worries. Funds can be used to recruit more staff and accept new client orders.

• Easy qualification requirements

Qualifying for payroll factoring is based on the creditworthiness of your clients.

• Flexibility

Payroll factoring offers flexible and scalable funding that can grow with your company. The amount of funds provided increases as your company grows and takes on new orders.

• No debt incurred

Factoring does not create debt on your balance sheet because it is not a loan.

Payroll factoring works like traditional factoring. In a payroll factoring arrangement, a payroll funding company will finance a staffing company’s receivables at a discounted rate. The payroll funding company typically makes this purchase in 2 installments consisting of the advance and the rebate. The advance is paid immediately and the rebate of the remaining balance (minus factoring fee) is provided after the client makes a full payment for the invoice. Payroll funding companies will determine your factoring rate based on risk parameters such as the volume and size of your invoices, and the credit quality of your clients.
