Payroll funding for staffing companies turns your approved invoices into working capital, so you can cover weekly payroll, take on new clients, and grow without waiting 30 to 90 days to get paid.
Trusted by staffing firms nationwide since 1992
Staffing companies operate on a constant balancing act: paying employees every week while waiting 30, 60, or even 90 days for clients to pay. That gap puts pressure on cash flow and can force you to turn down new business. Payroll funding for staffing companies closes it by giving you working capital tied to your receivables, so you can keep growing without waiting on slow-paying invoices.
Built around how staffing actually works, payroll funding for staffing companies is a form of invoice financing that turns your approved invoices into working capital. Instead of waiting weeks for clients to pay, you receive an advance that covers payroll, payroll taxes, and the cost of placing more workers. Unlike a bank loan, it’s tied to your receivables, so available funding grows as your billing grows.

Below are answers to some of the most common questions about Payroll Funding for Staffing Companies.
You place workers and submit approved timesheets, and Madison Resources advances funds against those invoices to cover payroll, payroll taxes, and related costs.

Payroll funding is a form of invoice factoring built specifically for staffing firms. The difference is focus: it’s designed around weekly payroll, so funding lines up with when your employees need to be paid, not just when invoices go out. Many providers also pair it with back office support, which general factoring companies usually don’t offer.
With our full service program, we can advance up to 100% of the payroll amount and advance your weekly profit. With our funding-only solution, we typically advance up to 90% of the invoice value while you keep your own back office.
