Factoring for staffing and payroll: wages out weekly, payment only after weeks
You pay agency workers weekly, but your clients pay after 30 to 60 days. That difference is structural and grows with your hours. Factoring bridges it, so that you can keep placing people.
The working capital question in Staffing, Recruitment & Payroll
In staffing, recruitment and payroll the working capital gap is built in. The wages go out weekly, while your invoices only come in weeks later. Tight receivables management shortens that wait, but does not remove the gap. The more people you place, the wider that gap gets, and with growth that means exactly this: advancing the weekly wages yourself before the revenue follows.
Factoring is usually the starting point for staffing and payroll businesses: your outstanding invoices are turned into working capital straight away, so that you keep running the weekly wage payments effortlessly, and the line grows automatically with the hours worked. If your receivables or other assets are already pledged to the bank, SOOF clears the way by taking over that pledge, and where it makes sense you combine factoring with a business loan through one party.
Is your security already with the bank?
As long as your receivables, stock or property are pledged to the bank, additional finance is often blocked. SOOF takes over that pledge and coordinates the process with your bank, so that the form of finance that suits your situation becomes possible again.
