Invoice Factoring for Staffing Companies

(also called payroll funding, accounts receivable or A/R financing)


Once your invoice is approved, we usually send your money within 24 hours.

You heard about us from a friend or you searched “staffing factoring” or “payroll funding.” However you ended up here, it usually comes down to one thing: you run payroll every week, but clients pay on terms.

You need your money sooner than the
30, 45, 60, or even 75-day terms you gave your clients.

The hours are already worked. The timesheets are approved. Payday still comes.

Light industrial. Healthcare. IT / professional.
Temp. Temp-to-hire. Long projects.
Different placements. Same wait to get paid.

You agree to terms to win the account. No matter the terms, payroll is still due.

Wages, payroll taxes, workers’ comp,
health benefits…

The bills keep coming while you wait. You can put expenses on a card, but the statement comes due long before your client pays.

Wait too long and you’re the one
stuck with late fees or interest.

So what do you do while you’re waiting?

There's a Better Way

We're Orange Commercial Credit. What we do is buy the invoices for work you’ve already done. It’s called invoice factoring and we’ve been doing it since 1979.

Through slow seasons and busy seasons, the pattern stays the same: invoices go out, payroll comes due, and your client pays later.

You send us your client's invoice and once it's approved, we send you most of the money up front.

That up-front payment is called an advance. Depending on your industry, it can be as high as 90% or more of the invoice.

When your customer pays in full, on the next cycle you receive the remainder minus our fee, which can range from 1.25% - 5%.

For example, on a $10,000 invoice, a 90% advance would be $9,000.
An $800 reserve and 2.0% fee ($200) means $800 is returned to you.
(Assumes invoice is paid in full.)

Once you're set up and the invoice is approved, that advance usually funds within 24 hours.

You choose which invoices to sell. Use it when you need it, skip it when you don’t.

You get your money
before payroll or bills hit.

We’ve been through decades of change, but one thing never changes — your bills don’t stop. That’s why your money shouldn’t wait.

We’ve worked with staffing companies across the country. Many of our staffing clients stay with us five years or more.

They stay because the money’s there when they need it and because they value the service they receive.

They have one dedicated account executive who is backed by an experienced team ready to answer all their questions.

Most of our business comes from referrals. Our clients refer because they know their friends will get the same service they do.

A staffing owner explained what it changed for him:

“Orange Commercial has helped me take on clients I normally could not afford to take. Customer service is great, and I can always count on them to send me funds when I need it.”

—George, Owner and Client Since 2016, Staffing Company in KY

With us, even if your client pays on 30, 45, 60, or 75-day terms, you’ll have the cash in your account — usually within 24 hours of invoice approval once you’re established as a client.

In the End, It Comes Down to Your Client

The only way this works is if your client’s good for it. That’s why our credit check matters.

We’ve been doing this since 1979, and many of our credit team members have been here 10+ years. They know how to check credit right.

  • Flagging a slow-pay client before you put a crew on site.
  • Following MSP/VMS portal approvals and processing requirements so you can focus on other things.
  • Stopping short-pays when a timesheet signature or approval is missing.

Our job is to get you paid when you need it.

How It Works in Practice

Here’s what happens, step by step, from the time you send an invoice until the final payment clears.

step one in invoice factoring

In invoice factoring, the first thing we do is check your client’s credit. We pull their payment history up front—even before you send us an invoice—because that’s how we decide if we can buy the invoice from you.

step two-send invoice to get approved

Once they're approved, you send an invoice, and our team then reviews the supporting paperwork that goes with it.

  • For staffing, it’s your invoice, approved timesheets, and the service agreement on file.
  • If your client is an FM/IFM group, we also match the invoice to their portal approval (hours, dates, site).
  • If your client uses an MSP/VMS portal, we check the portal for approvals and updates.
  • If something’s missing (like a timesheet signature or portal approval), we tell you fast so you can fix it with your client and get funding moving again.

Once your invoice is approved and you're set up as a client, we notify your client where to send payment and confirm they’ve accepted the change.

It doesn’t change your work or your price. It updates your client on where to send payment.

step three is funding

The last step is the funding, the part you care about most.

That’s when the money hits your account.

On every funding you’ll see:

  • an advance
  • a reserve
  • and our fee (called the discount fee)

Advance

For staffing invoices, we can advance up to 90% or more of the invoice within 24 hours once you’re set up. On a $10,000 staffing invoice, that can mean $9,000 plus up front.

Reserve

When a reserve applies we set aside a small portion until your client pays. It helps protect you against having to pay us out of pocket for any uncollectible portions of your invoices.

We release the available reserve balance, minus our discount fee, once a month.

Discount fee

The discount fee depends on:

  • how long your client takes to pay and how strong their credit is.
  • the type of staffing you do. Some areas (healthcare, light industrial, MSP/VMS platforms) require more approvals, corrections, or short-pays than others.
  • the dollar amount of invoices you sell.

Whatever the case, we let you know the fee before you decide — no surprises.

That's how our factoring works.

How staffing factoring works: hours worked, hours approved, invoice goes out, funds sent to you, payment posts to our bank, reserve released to you. How staffing factoring works: hours worked, hours approved, invoice goes out, funds sent to you, payment posts to our bank, reserve released to you.

1, 2 & 3:  You pick an invoice — say a $10,000 invoice backed by approved timesheets, and we verify/approve.

4:  We advance most of the money up front, usually within 24 hours on subsequent fundings for that client. The first funding can take longer to get the new client setup.

5 & 6:  When your client pays us, we deduct our fee and release the remaining reserve, if any, on the next cycle.

If You Run Staffing, You Know This Wait

In staffing, payroll usually means two groups: your recruiters in the office and your workers already out on site.

Timesheets get signed, checks go out every Friday, and clients often pay on 30, 60, or more day terms.

The hours are already worked. Payroll’s due. The money isn’t in yet.

Weekly timesheet approval screen

Hours get approved. The invoice goes out. Payroll still hits Friday.

  • Maybe you’re paying light-industrial workers off stacks of hourly timesheets.
  • Maybe it’s healthcare—nurses and aides credentialed and deployed while payment terms stretch 60 days or more.
  • Or maybe it’s IT consultants on six-month projects, but you’re still sending out direct deposits every two weeks.
  • Or it’s commercial cleaning — day porters, night crews, floor care — billed through Facility Management (FM) or Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) providers. The work is done. Payroll is Friday. Client payment is still on terms.

However you staff it, the work is done and you’re still waiting to get paid.

Who uses staffing factoring

If one missing timesheet signature can delay payment for weeks, this is built for you.

  • Travel nurse and healthcare staffing — credentialing up front, strict approvals, terms still stretch.
  • Clerical / admin staffing — steady placements, steady payroll, slow payers.
  • Security staffing — recurring shifts, recurring payroll, approvals matter.
  • Hospitality staffing — seasonal spikes, payroll doesn’t pause.
  • Municipality staffing — school calendars change, paydays don’t.
  • Call center staffing — high headcount weeks, approvals can delay payment.
  • Government and contract staffing — paperwork is strict; terms are common.
  • When you're billing MSP/VMS — if your client uses an MSP (Managed Service Provider) or a VMS (Vendor Management System), that’s normal. We match your invoice to the portal approval before we fund, but portals can slow payment.

And it’s never just wages. You've got:

  • payroll taxes
  • workers’ comp
  • health benefits
  • and in healthcare, there's even credentialing and background checks before a nurse can clock in

Without funding, some owners try to stretch their own payables or pay bills with credit cards. Others dip into personal savings, just trying to bridge the weeks until clients finally send payment.


A staffing owner who's been with OCC for 15 years shared his experience:

“I have been a loyal client of Orange Commercial Credit factoring service for 15 years, and my experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Their professionalism, courtesy and unwavering commitment to our needs have been truly remarkable. They consistently go above and beyond to ensure that my needs are met and their friendly demeanor and genuine care for their clients are evident in every interaction. Their expertise and commitment to excellence have made OCC’s factoring service an invaluable partner for our company.”

—Staffing Company Owner, Client Since 2015

And that’s how factoring works in staffing. Payroll hits every week, as well as taxes, insurance, and benefits too. With Orange Commercial Credit, the funds are there so that checks go out on time.

  • You send the invoice with the approved timesheets.
  • We verify and send most of the money typically within 24 hours.
  • When your client pays, you get the rest minus our fee on the next cycle.

You’ve made payroll. You shouldn’t be carrying it for weeks while clients take their time.

Most agencies start with just one client,
one invoice, and one call to us.

Offering Longer Terms Can Help You Build Your Business

If you run a staffing agency, you’ve heard it:

“Can you do Net-30?”

Sometimes Net-45. Sometimes Net-60. To win the account, you say yes — and payroll is still due every week. With staffing factoring in place, you can say yes without carrying payroll for weeks.

Longer terms can:

  • turn a “maybe” into a yes.
  • let you take bigger orders without worrying about payroll or materials.
  • and let you say yes to jobs you used to turn down.

Answers Most People Want Before They Call

Does my credit matter?

What matters most is whether your client pays, and whether the invoice is clear, verified, and for work that’s already been done.

Things like tax liens or pledged invoices can slow setup down, but we’ll talk it through with you. If we can help, we’ll say so fast. If not, we’ll tell you that too. No guesswork. Call us and we’ll go over one of your client’s invoices together.

Do you become Employer of Record (EOR) and run payroll for me?

No. We’re a factoring company. We fund approved invoices for work already done. If you want an EOR to run payroll and handle HR compliance, that’s a different service.

What’s the cutoff time — and what about Fridays or holidays?

We’ll tell you the real funding window up front before your setup. Funding depends on verification — approved timesheets, portal approvals (if any), and no open disputes.

Once I send paperwork, how do I know what’s happening with invoices and client payments?

Our portal shows every invoice and every payment — status, paperwork, and credit — so you always know where you stand. You don’t have to wonder if a payment posts.

On staffing invoices, our team reviews the timesheets and backup paperwork and we let you know if we see anything missing so you can resolve it before it affects your funding.

“Their online platform is user-friendly, making it easy for me to submit and track invoices.”

—Joe, Staffing Owner (Client since 2018)

Where does my client send payment?

After we verify an invoice, we update your client to send payment to OCC. When their payment posts, the reserve minus the fee releases on the next cycle.

What if a timesheet is missing a signature or the client disputes it?

When we spot missing or incorrect billing, funding pauses and we let you know so you can fix it. Once corrected, we verify and fund that invoice.

What do you need to fund a staffing invoice?

Usually: the invoice, the approved timesheet (or portal approval), and the basic job details we’re matching (dates, hours, bill rate). If your client uses an MSP/VMS, we match to the portal approval before we fund.

Am I going to get bounced from rep to rep?

You get a dedicated account executive. They know you, your paperwork, and your clients.

You won't be re-explaining the same invoice to a new person. You call, and you get an answer.

“Our account rep is always at our service… working with him is outstanding.”

—Staffing Client


Is invoice factoring a loan?

No. Invoice factoring isn’t a loan. You sell an invoice for work already done, so there’s no new debt. It’s money that was already owed to you. You just get it sooner.

Is staffing factoring recourse or non-recourse?

Most staffing factoring is recourse. That means if your client doesn’t pay an approved invoice, you're still responsible for it (the agreement spells out the next steps).

Non-recourse usually only covers a true credit failure (like a bankruptcy). It typically does not cover disputes, timecard issues, missing approvals, or other paperwork problems.

We can point to the exact paragraph before you start, so you know the rule on day one.

What does staffing factoring cost?

The discount fee is based on your client’s payment speed and terms, and how clean the paperwork is (timesheets, approvals, no disputes).

You always see the cost up front before you decide.

Do I have to factor every invoice?

No. You choose which invoices to sell. Most staffing agencies start with one weekly invoice backed by approved timesheets.

How do I compare factoring companies?

If you’re comparing staffing factoring companies or invoice factoring for staffing, the basics are the same — but fees, the advance, and how fast you get answers can be very different. We’ll walk you through one invoice and the approved timesheet / portal approval so you can see the advance, fee, and what you’d receive on one invoice.

Will factoring work for our staffing company?

If you bill other businesses for staffing and your client pays on terms, staffing factoring can work.

We fund invoices for work already done with approved documentation (like timesheets).

Do you fund commercial cleaning and facility management invoices?

Yes — if the work is done and we can match the invoice to approval (timesheets, portal approval, or site sign-off). That includes Facility Management (FM) and Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) setups — staffing labor or cleaning invoices billed through that system.

Will factoring change how my clients see me?

No. Your client keeps the same price and terms from you.

We verify the invoice and update your client on where to send payment.

If something’s missing, you work it out with your client directly. Once it’s fixed, we verify it and fund that invoice.

You May Still be Wondering:
What Happens When I Call?

Before you call, grab three things. We’ll tell you if we can fund that client and what the advance and fee look like.

  1. Your client name (who owes you).
  2. One recent invoice amount (and the payment terms).
  3. Proof the hours were approved (timesheets or MSP/VMS approval).

A staffing client put it plainly:

“They offer exactly what we need, providing fast funding, transparent pricing, and exceptional services to keep our operations running smoothly.”

—Staffing Client

When you call, you’ll get a real person — not a phone tree, not a bot. We start by listening. You can begin with just one question.

Everyone’s story is different, and if you’re not sure where to begin, that’s fine. You can just say, “I’m not sure where to start. Can you help me?” and we’ll take it from there.

You don’t need to have every detail worked out. A lot of people just bring one invoice and ask what it would look like.

You might feel like you should already have solved this, or think it’s your fault you’re still waiting to get paid.

But it’s not on you.

To get the work, you had to take the 30, 45 or sometimes 60-day terms your client set.

Meanwhile, payroll is due. Payroll taxes, workers’ comp, and benefits don’t wait either.

We get it.

That’s usually when you pick up the phone. You tell us about your business and what you're looking for.

If it sounds like a fit, we’ll send you a short link to fill out for a proposal.

There’s no setup fee and no obligation.
You’ll usually have an answer
by the next business day.

If the proposal looks right to you, we'll set up an agreement. We work off a 90-day factoring agreement, but you're never required to submit any certain number of invoices.

You can start with one client and one invoice. You decide when to use it.

  • There are no minimums and no quotas.
  • You choose which invoices you want to sell (could be one, a handful, or none that week).
  • You use it when it helps, and set it aside when it doesn’t.

The agreement lays out the basics:

  • Advance: the percentage we send up front.
  • Reserve (if used): a small portion held until your client pays.
  • Fee: our charge for the service.

For staffing, that can look like a $10,000 weekly invoice backed by approved timesheets. Once you’re set up and the invoice is approved, the advance is usually sent within 24 hours.

No minimums, no quotas. You decide when to use it.

You also get a dedicated account executive who knows your business and picks up when you call — answering your questions on the spot.

And you can log in any time day or night to check on balances and invoices.

If you’re not ready to try us yet, that’s fine. Call us when you are, and we’ll walk you through it.

Calling doesn’t lock you into anything — it just shows you what the numbers look like.

If it makes sense, great. If not, you’ll still leave knowing more than you did before.

And for the owners who don't put it off,
here’s what it looks like.

The money’s in your account typically within 24 hours once your invoice is verified. Payroll is due. Taxes and workers’ comp don’t wait.

That’s why we tell owners:
if the numbers make sense, don’t wait.

It Doesn’t Take a Stack
of Paperwork

Most owners start with just one invoice — enough to see how the numbers work.

In the end it always comes
back to the same thing:
one client,
one invoice,
one call.
