Payroll funding helps staffing firms maintain consistent cash flow, cover weekly payroll, and confidently take on new business without waiting for client payments.
Trusted by staffing firms nationwide since 1992
Staffing firms operate on a constant balancing act, paying employees weekly while waiting 30, 60, or even 90 days for client payments. That gap creates pressure on cash flow, limits growth, and can make it difficult to take on new business.
Payroll funding provides a reliable way to close that gap, giving staffing firms access to working capital tied to their receivables so they can operate with confidence and grow their business without hesitation.
Payroll funding is a financing solution that allows staffing firms to convert outstanding invoices into immediate working capital.
Instead of waiting for clients to pay, you receive an advance on your receivables, giving you the liquidity needed to meet payroll and continue growing your business.
Hear directly from one of the staffing companies we partner with about how payroll funding from Madison Resources helped them expand their business and pursue new opportunities.

Payroll funding allows staffing firms to turn approved invoices into working capital through a simple, repeatable process.
Your staffing firm places temporary or contract employees with your client and collects approved timecards for hours worked.
Once timecards are approved, invoices are generated and submitted to your client based on agreed billing terms.
Madison Resources advances capital against your approved invoices to help cover payroll, payroll taxes, and other operating expenses.
Your client pays the invoice according to the established payment terms.
Once payment is received, the account is reconciled and the remaining balance, minus agreed fees, is released to your staffing firm.
