For staffing agency owners

Staffing Agency finance tools

A staffing agency pays its temporary workers every week and bills clients for their hours, often on 30 to 45 day terms. Worker pay is almost the whole cost. So the agency carries five or six weeks of payroll for its clients, and every new placement makes that bigger.

Common questions

How much cash does a staffing agency need?

At least the weekly payroll for as many weeks as clients take to pay, plus a month of fixed costs. Many agencies close the gap with factoring or a funding line.

Why does growth drain a staffing agency's cash?

Each new placement adds weekly payroll weeks before the first payment. Fast growth on 45-day terms needs a lot of cash.
