USE CASES

Financing that solves real challenges across industries, growth stages, and cash flow needs

Meeting growing payroll demands with the reliability of A/R financing

OVERVIEW

A rapidly growing staffing agency specializing in light industrial placements needed reliable cash flow to cover weekly payroll for hundreds of contractors.

CHALLENGE

With client payment terms averaging 45-60 days, and payroll due weekly, the agency struggled to bridge cash flow gaps. Delays in receivables strained liquidity and risked their ability to pay contractors on time, putting talent retention and client relationships at risk.

SOLUTION

eCapital provided a $5 million accounts receivable (A/R) financing facility that gave the agency fast access to capital tied to outstanding invoices. This solution ensured timely payroll, improved contractor retention, and positioned the business for continued growth.

Turning large client contracts into opportunity with scalable credit solutions

OVERVIEW

A healthcare staffing firm secured a major new hospital group contract, increasing placement volume by 40% in under 60 days.

CHALLENGE

While the opportunity promised long-term growth, the firm needed a surge in working capital to onboard new clinicians, cover higher payroll, and manage credentialing and compliance costs upfront.

SOLUTION

eCapital assessed the firm’s receivables and structured an $8 million A/R facility. The funding supported onboarding, credentialing, and weekly payroll for the expanded staff—allowing the firm to meet demand and solidify a valuable client relationship.

Managing peak demand with flexible working capital for industrial staffing firms

OVERVIEW

A staffing agency focused on light industrial and skilled trades placements experienced a sharp rise in demand during busy summer months, driven by contracts in manufacturing, distribution, and logistics.

CHALLENGE

The agency needed additional working capital to fund increased payroll for hundreds of temporary workers while waiting 45-60 days for client payments. Without added funding, they risked turning down new business during their busiest season.

SOLUTION

eCapital provided a $3 million revolving credit facility backed by receivables. This allowed the agency to meet payroll, take on new contracts, and maintain operational stability throughout peak demand.

Bridging cash flow between payroll and client payments with A/R financing

OVERVIEW

An IT staffing agency with Fortune 100 clients faced cash flow gaps caused by extended payment terms and unpredictable invoice cycles.

CHALLENGE

Long net payment terms (up to 90 days) on high-dollar contracts left the business struggling to maintain liquidity for payroll, recruiting, and benefits.

SOLUTION

eCapital implemented a $6.5 million A/R financing solution, unlocking capital tied to invoices immediately after they were issued. This helped smooth cash flow, reduce financial stress, and support continuous talent placement without disruption.

Frequently asked questions
about financing for staffing agencies

What is staffing agency financing?

Staffing agency financing provides tailored funding solutions to help cover payroll, manage cash flow, and support growth. It’s designed to bridge the gap between paying your temporary workers and receiving payment from clients.

How does staffing agency financing work?

Most solutions are based on accounts receivable (AR) financing. You submit your client invoices to the lender, who advances a percentage of the invoice value—typically within 24 to 48 hours—so you can meet payroll and other operational expenses.

What types of staffing companies qualify?

We finance a wide range of staffing firms, including those in healthcare, industrial, clerical, IT, professional services, and government contracting. Both new and established agencies can qualify, depending on revenue and invoice volume.

How can financing help with payroll?

Financing ensures you have the cash on hand to meet weekly or bi-weekly payroll obligations—even if your clients pay on 30-, 60-, or 90-day terms. This gives you confidence to take on more contracts without cash flow concerns.

Can I use financing to scale my staffing business?

Yes. Financing provides the working capital you need to onboard more candidates, expand into new sectors, invest in recruitment tools, and pursue larger client contracts.

How is this different from a traditional business loan?

Staffing agency financing is more flexible than traditional loans. It’s often based on your receivables, not your credit score or collateral, and scales as your business grows—without restrictive repayment schedules.

Will my clients know I’m using financing?

It depends on the financing structure. With factoring, your clients may be notified and remit payments to a designated account. With confidential solutions or AR-based lines of credit, your client relationships remain unchanged.

What support does eCapital provide?

Top-tier financing partners offer more than capital. They may help with credit checks on new clients, invoice management, collections, and financial planning to support your growth.
