§I · Industry brief

Payroll funded ahead of the cycle through advances against client invoices.

Staffing firms, temp, contract IT, healthcare placement, light industrial, invoice clients on net-30 to net-60 terms but settle with their workforce weekly or bi-weekly. The gap between payroll and AR is the primary constraint on growth. Factoring addresses it.

§What the cash-flow problem actually looks like
  • 01

    Payroll operates on a weekly cycle

    Contract and W-2 staff are compensated on the agency's payroll schedule, typically weekly. Payroll obligations are fixed regardless of when client invoices are collected.

  • 02

    Client payment terms run 30 to 60 days

    Enterprise and government clients set payment terms at 30, 45, or 60 days. The agency carries 4 to 8 weeks of float between payroll disbursement and invoice collection on each active assignment.

  • 03

    New contracts increase working capital requirements before revenue arrives

    A new 50-person contract adds 50 weekly payroll obligations before the first invoice on that contract is collected. Each new assignment extends the float proportionally.

Typical operator

Staffing agencies placing $200K to $20M+ annually in contract or temp labor across IT, healthcare, light industrial, administrative or skilled trades.
