Working capital is the fuel for placements

For most staffing agencies, working capital is not about buying things. It is about time. You pay recruiters, temps, payroll taxes, and insurance on a short cycle, while clients pay on 30, 45, or 60 day terms. Working capital fills the space between those two clocks.

Signs your agency needs more working capital

An example, for illustration

Picture a light industrial staffing firm that lands a client needing 40 extra workers for a distribution center's peak season. For illustration, if weekly payroll for that group runs around $30,000 and the client pays on net 45, the agency might carry several weeks of payroll before the first payment arrives. Working capital sized to that window lets the agency take the contract without pulling cash from its other accounts. Your actual amount depends mainly on deposits and existing obligations.

How we evaluate staffing agencies

We look at about three months of business bank statements to see your deposit rhythm and client payments. No tax returns are required. The application takes about five minutes and starts with a soft credit pull. FICO 500 and up is considered, and sole proprietors can apply. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000, and qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours.

Keep the request tied to real invoices

The healthiest working capital requests match a known gap. Before you apply, pull your aging report and your payroll calendar side by side. Figure out how many weeks of payroll you carry before clients pay, and size the request to that window rather than a round number. If you already have other financing, tell us up front so the offer fits what your account can carry.
