How invoice factoring works for staffing companies

Invoice factoring involves selling your unpaid invoices to a finance provider for an advance payment. The provider then manages the credit control process, collecting the payment from your clients directly. This means you receive cash quickly without having to wait for payment terms to run their course.


Benefits of invoice factoring for staffing agencies

  • Improved cash flow – You get access to funds as soon as invoices are raised, enabling you to cover payroll and expenses without delay.
  • Outsourced credit control – The factoring provider handles invoice collections, freeing up your team to focus on recruitment and client service.
  • Flexibility as your business grows – The amount you can access grows in line with your invoice volume, making it a scalable funding option for agencies on an upward trajectory.
  • Reduced payment risk – Some providers offer bad debt protection, safeguarding your business if a client is unable to pay.

 

 



Things to consider before choosing invoice factoring

  • Costs and fees associated with the facility

  • How the provider’s collection methods align with your client relationships

  • The level of funding you can access based on your invoice volume

  • Whether you also need bad debt protection
