Grow your agency with recruitment funding
We understand that running a successful recruitment business is a demanding yet satisfying job.
Recruitment Factoring is an effective solution, frequently used to bridge the gap between paying your workers each week and receiving payments from your Client’s. Payment terms might vary based on the industry and Clients often pay their invoices between 2 and 12 weeks, which implies that you must have finances available to pay your workers if necessary before being paid by your Client.
This is where invoice factoring comes into play. A factoring solution allows you to draw down a percentage of the full invoice value, providing you with access to your cash sooner. The percentage can vary and is influenced by; debtor spread, concentration, the industry, payment history, and many other factors.
Depending on your factoring agreement, a drawdown percentage can range from 50% to 95%. Essentially, enabling quicker access to your money, improves your cashflow and allows you the freedom to invest in your business sooner, rather than later.
However, a typical Recruitment Factoring company will only provide you with the financial support and an element of credit control, leaving you to carry out the rest of your back-office tasks, such as; payrolling workers, invoicing clients, due diligence checks, and many more admin tasks. Some recruiters prefer to take control of their back-office function and see factoring as a low-cost funding solution, but it can end up costing you more in time and money by taking you away from developing your business. There could also be a number of charges that you need to account for, including; a setup fee, minimum fees and late payment costs.
