The challenge for every temporary recruitment business is to guarantee your net cash flow is managed thoroughly to prevent running out of money. Many recruitment businesses don't succeed not because consultants are underachieving or a less than thorough business plan, but because of a failure to control cash flow.

Managing Funds

Managing your cash funds and ensuring you have sufficient to meet any outgoings is vital. Rent, wages and monthly bills will formulate the majority of expenses and need to be monitored closely.

For temporary agencies the need to pay agency staff on a weekly basis can be the biggest expenditure and the main challenge.

A considerable shortfall can be experienced as weekly payroll commitments dictate candidate payment is often 6-7 weeks before a client invoice is settled. The impact on cashflow of this cash gap can be detrimental. Unless an agency has access to outside investment or funding, often their business fails to prosper as growth cannot be achieved or maintained. 

A specialist recruitment industry funder establishes a more healthy and flexible cash flow, ensuring payroll obligations can be met without excessive stress on the business.
