Staffing agency funding

Construction staffing financing: payroll goes out weekly, client invoices come in later.

A construction staffing agency pays its crews every week and invoices the contractor on net terms. That gap is where financing helps. Here is how it works, what a funder reads in your file, and how to apply in about five minutes.

✓ Checking what you qualify for does not affect your credit score.

The short answer

Yes, staffing agencies that place construction labor can get business funding. We fund from $25,000 to $5,000,000, decisions move fast, and funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses. We read about three months of business bank statements instead of asking for tax returns, we consider owners with a FICO score of 500 or above, and sole proprietors can apply.

Why construction staffing has a cash gap

A staffing agency fronts the cost of labor. Crews are paid weekly, payroll taxes and workers’ compensation are due on schedule, and the invoice to the contractor may not be paid for 30 days or more. The more work you place, the larger the gap grows, which is why fast growth can strain cash flow more than a slow month.

Weekly payroll

Wages go out every week whether or not the client has paid.

Taxes and insurance

Payroll taxes and workers’ compensation premiums are due on their own calendar.

Net-30 and longer terms

General contractors often pay on their own draw schedule, not yours.

Seasonal swings

Spring and summer ramps need more crews before the first invoices are paid.

What a funder reads in your file

Deposit consistency. Regular client payments landing in your account.
Client concentration. Several paying clients read better than one large one.
Existing obligations. List every current advance or loan with its payment.
Payroll history. A steady pattern of payroll debits shows an established business.

Our staffing agency qualification guide covers each point in more detail.
