Useful resources for our recruitment agency industry

Invoice factoring

Invoice factoring helps you unlock cash tied up in unpaid invoices. It’s an effective way to improve cash flow and reduce pressure from late-paying customers.

Contract finance

Contract finance provides funding against the value of ongoing recruitment contracts. It bridges the gap between paying staff and receiving client payments, keeping payroll consistent.

Invoice discounting

Invoice discounting gives you access to working capital while keeping control of collections. It’s a confidential option for agencies that want to maintain direct client relationships.

Business Cash Flow Loans

A business cash flow loan provides quick access to capital for day-to-day expenses. It’s a flexible solution for covering gaps or investing in short-term growth.


We can help you with recruitment cash flow pressures

Payroll and contractor costs

Recruitment agencies often pay contractors weekly or monthly while waiting for client invoices to be settled. This creates significant cash flow pressure. Invoice finance provides fast access to funds, ensuring everyone gets paid on time.

Delayed client payments

Late or inconsistent payments from clients can disrupt operations and limit growth. With finance solutions like invoice discounting or factoring, agencies can release cash quickly to cover salaries and overheads.

Seasonal demand fluctuations

Recruitment needs often rise and fall with business cycles. During quieter periods, maintaining overheads such as office rent and staffing can be tough. Seasonal funding helps manage slower months and prepare for peak seasons.

Growth and expansion costs

Taking on new clients or expanding into new sectors often requires additional staff, marketing, or technology investment. Short-term finance options help you fund expansion without straining cash reserves.
