Types of Recruitment Finance

Invoice Finance

Invoice Finance allows agencies to advance funds against outstanding client invoices, ensuring payroll can be managed and operations remain smooth while awaiting client payment.

Invoice Finance

Invoice Finance is suitable for UK registered recruitment agencies with a minimum turnover of £50,000, a history in supplying temporary staff, and invoices with creditworthy clients. Agencies submit invoices to the lender, who advances a portion upfront and settles the rest once clients pay. This quick process helps agencies in sectors like healthcare, IT, and construction to reliably pay staff and manage their business until client payments arrive.

Asset-Based Lending

Asset-Based Lending enables established recruitment agencies to leverage tangible assets, like equipment or client contracts, to secure larger funding sums for business needs.

Asset-Based Lending

With Asset-Based Lending, recruitment agencies use valuable business assets as collateral. This option is geared towards established firms with strong records of cash flow management. Typical amounts range from £50,000 to £1,000,000, provided over 6 to 36 months at rates of 5% to 15% APR. This method especially supports those looking to fund staff recruitment drives, invest in technology or grow into new markets.

Business Loans

Business Loans offer recruitment agencies a fixed lump sum for growth, marketing or bridging payroll gaps, to be repaid over a set term with predictable payments.

Business Loans

Ideal for agencies with at least 2 years trading history and a healthy revenue stream, Business Loans provide between £5,000 and £250,000 across 6 to 60 months. Decisions typically take 1 to 2 weeks. Funds can be used for business expansion, offsetting delayed invoice payments, or marketing investment. A proven credit profile increases likelihood of approval and competitive rates.
