Types of Recruitment Payroll Finance

Invoice Finance for Payroll advances a significant portion of your unpaid client invoices, usually around 85-90%, to cover immediate payroll needs for recruitment agencies.

Invoice Finance for Payroll

This facility is especially suitable for agencies with B2B invoices and a turnover above £100,000. It bridges the period between meeting payroll and receiving payment from clients. Typically, you submit unpaid invoices, and the provider offers £10,000 to £500,000 depending on invoice value and your turnover. Fees are often 1-3% per month, and approval usually takes 1 to 2 weeks.

Business Overdraft Facility

A business overdraft provides ongoing, flexible access to extra funds, helping recruitment businesses cover payroll in emergencies or during seasonal dips.

Business Overdraft Facility

With a business overdraft, you draw funds as required from your business account, offering financial flexibility when payroll demands are high. Amounts between £10,000 and £100,000 are typical, with interest of 4-10% over base rate. Annual reviews apply, and decisions take 1 to 3 weeks. This solution is suitable for all recruitment companies with a business account.

Short-term Business Loans

Short-term business loans give recruitment agencies access to a one-off lump sum for payroll during temporary cash flow shortages or growth phases.

Short-term Business Loans

Available to UK-registered recruitment firms able to demonstrate repayment capability, these loans range from £5,000 to £250,000, repayable over 1 to 12 months. Approval normally takes 2 to 4 weeks, with monthly interest from 1.5% to 3.5%. This is ideal for smaller agencies facing occasional gaps in funds.
