Invoice Factoring and Payroll Funding for Staffing Agencies
Your team is paid weekly. Your clients pay in 30 to 60 days. Meritus Capital closes that gap in 24 hours.
The Cash Flow Problem Every Staffing Agency Knows
Staffing agencies operate in a gap that never closes on its own. Your temporary workers and contractors are paid weekly. Your clients take 30, 60, or even 90 days to settle invoices for placements that have already been made. In between, payroll does not wait.
That gap puts consistent pressure on your cash flow, limits how many clients you can take on, and slows growth in a highly competitive industry. Invoice factoring for staffing agencies converts your outstanding invoices into immediate working capital, so your business is never held back by a payment you've already earned.

What Is Invoice Factoring for Staffing Agencies?
Invoice factoring for staffing companies is the process of selling your outstanding client invoices to a factoring company for an immediate cash advance, typically up to 95% of the invoice value. The factoring company collects from your client when the invoice is due and releases the remaining balance to you, minus a service fee.
It is not a loan.
No debt on your balance sheet, no collateral required, no credit score impact. You convert what your clients already owe you into immediate working capital to cover payroll, operating expenses, and growth.
Invoice Factoring for Staffing Companies
Whether you run a temp staffing division, contract staffing firm, or a multi-service agency, consistent cash flow is the foundation of your operation.
