Why payroll squeezes staffing agencies first

A staffing agency is a payroll company with a sales team attached. Your temps and contractors expect a check every week, sometimes every day, while the client who uses their hours pays on net 30, net 45 or slower. The bigger your book of placements gets, the wider that gap becomes. Growth itself drains the account.

Payroll funding from Merchant Fund Express is built to cover that stretch. We look at how money actually moves through your business bank account and size an offer around it, so you can keep paying people on time while receivables catch up.

What we look at

Qualified businesses can see funding in as little as 24 hours, which matters when a payroll run is due Friday.

Which product fits a payroll gap

Most agencies land on one of three options:

We can walk through the trade-offs once we see your statements.

A simple way to size the request

For illustration: an agency running a weekly payroll and waiting roughly six weeks on its largest client might want enough to cover several payroll cycles plus payroll taxes, rather than one week at a time. Requesting the full gap once is usually cleaner than coming back repeatedly. The amount you are offered depends mainly on your deposits and existing obligations.

Before you sign

Every offer shows the full repayment amount and the repayment schedule up front, before you accept. Nothing gets added after you sign. If the numbers do not fit your margins on bill rates, do not take it. When you are ready, start the 5-minute application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a new client contract justify a bigger payroll request?

It can help the conversation, but the offer is sized mainly on deposits you have already received and the obligations you already carry. Signed work is useful context, not the main input.

Do you need my client invoices or aging report?

Bank statements are the core document. We may ask follow-up questions about a large client, but there are no tax returns required to get started.

Will applying hurt my credit?

We start with a soft credit pull, so checking your options does not register as a hard inquiry at the start.

How fast can payroll money arrive?

Decisions move quickly, and funding can land in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses once paperwork is complete.

Is this the same as factoring?

No. Factoring sells specific invoices. Our products are based on your overall business deposits, so your clients are not contacted about their invoices.

How to improve your chances

A few habits make payroll funding easier to qualify for and cheaper to carry.

  • Keep client payments flowing into one business account
  • Track days-to-pay for each major client
  • Avoid stacking multiple obligations at once
  • Build a small payroll reserve after big collections
