tailored Cash Flow Solution
What is Payroll Funding?
Payroll funding, also known as invoice factoring, is an alternative financing solution where staffing companies sell outstanding receivables in exchange for an immediate advance against each invoice.
This flexible funding solution is tailored specifically for staffing agencies that struggle with slow-paying customers or long payment terms. With payroll funding, you don’t have to wait weeks to get paid for your work. Instead, get paid within 1 to 2 days and have immediate access to working capital so you can always pay your employees on-time.

Frequently Asked
Payroll Funding for Staffing Companies FAQs
How much does payroll funding cost?
The cost of payroll funding for staffing agencies can range from 1-5% of the invoice face value, depending on several criteria. In general, the faster your debtors tend to pay, the better rate you will receive.
Is payroll funding common for staffing companies?
Yes! Payroll funding is a common solution for staffing companies and temp agencies. Because invoice payment terms are typically 30 to 60 days, but payroll is usually paid on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, many agencies turn to this tailored solution. Payroll funding provides working capital to staffing companies to make payroll before receiving payment on their outstanding invoices. This additional working capital can help business operations run more smoothly and reduce the stress of running a small business, all while growing your staffing company.
What types of staffing companies use payroll funding?
Because payroll funding is a scalable financing solution, it’s useful for a variety of staffing companies, from small startup agencies to well-established and mature companies. Payroll funding is used most commonly by staffing agencies that keep employees on their payroll, such as temporary staffing and temp-to-hire staffing firms. Agencies that may not benefit as much from altLINE’s payroll funding services include direct hire placement and executive search firms.
Is a payroll financing service worth it for staffing companies?
Using a payroll funding provider is more beneficial for some staffing agencies than others. For example, staffing companies that need to make payroll before receiving payment on their outstanding invoices are well positioned to use a payroll financing service. However, if your staffing company already has the working capital in place to make payroll easily and grow your business without worry, you might not need it.
If you are unsure if payroll funding is the right solution for your staffing agency, fill out our quote form or speak with an altLINE representative by calling +1 (205) 607-0811. Our representatives will discuss your financing needs with you and make a recommendation on the best funding option for your business.
Is payroll funding different than invoice factoring?
No. Payroll funding and invoice factoring are one in the same. The term “payroll funding” is used most commonly in the staffing industry because factoring funds are almost always used to help make payroll on-time.
