Why payroll creates cash flow pressure for agencies

Recruitment agencies often have to pay temporary staff or contractors weekly, while clients may take 30, 60, or even 90 days to pay invoices. This mismatch can leave agencies scrambling to cover wages without stable cash flow.

Funding options to cover payroll

Invoice finance

Releases cash tied up in unpaid invoices, giving agencies access to funds as soon as invoices are raised.

Invoice discounting

Similar to invoice finance but allows agencies to manage their own credit control, keeping the funding confidential.

Payroll finance

Specialist finance designed for recruitment agencies to cover staff wages in line with weekly or monthly pay cycles.

Working capital loans

Flexible short-term funding to smooth out cash flow when payroll deadlines approach.
