Case Study: Staffing Agency Growth Exceeds Expectations Through Payroll Funding

By: Sandra Colley, Senior Account Executive

Sandra ensures clients’ goals are met through insightful support and proactive solutions.

Few examples of staffing agency growth are better than one of our California-based light industrial agency clients. With many of their clients operating on extended net–90 and net–120 day payment terms, they required expert collections management and strategic growth support. Our full–service approach helped them streamline operations, improve cash flow, and successfully expand with a new branch location. See how we made it possible! 

How Full-Service Factoring and Expert Collections Support Drove Staffing Agency Growth

The Challenge  

This staffing agency faced a complex challenge managing cash flow with a diverse client base on extended payment terms. The result was cash flow gaps that limited growth opportunities. Leadership needed expertise to ensure these clients paid on time without further delays. 

Managing collections for these cycles continuously drained internal resources and diverted leadership from core business development—not ideal for staffing entrepreneurs! After Encore acquired their previous funder, our client evaluated options during contract renewal. When they mentioned wanting a partner for comprehensive support beyond basic funding, we knew we were a good match. 

The Solution  

We implemented a comprehensive full-service factoring solution designed to address their operational challenges. Our team took complete responsibility for collections management, removing this administrative burden from their internal staff. Leadership was excited to focus on growing the business again! 

Feature Services for This Client 

Beyond traditional factoring services, we provided strategic business support, including assistance with opening a new branch location. This mark of staffing agency growth boosted everyone’s confidence. 

Our full-service approach allowed this client to focus on “running their business” without stressing over the ins and outs of long-term collections and cash flow management. They could relax knowing that experienced pros were taking care of all the back-office tasks.  

“What’s the most satisfying part of working with Flag Solutions? The people, They are amazing operators, When you have a great operator everything else falls into place. Helping him and Flag navigate challenges and seeing the outcome work, is something I take pride in.” –Sandra Colley, Senior Account Executive

The Results: Staffing Agency Growth

Working with Encore has been a game-changer for this client. The streamlined collections process freed up their team to focus on what they do best, while improving cash flow predictability for those tricky extended payment clients.  

“If you’re really looking to grow your organization and not have to stress about funding or capital, so you can focus more on the operational part of your company and scaling, I absolutely recommend reaching out to them [Encore].” –Staffing Agency Founder  

The biggest win is that they successfully opened a new branch location with our support, giving them a much stronger presence in the competitive Southern California market. The additional brick-and-mortar location means they can now source more talent and land new clients, both crucial in staffing where relationships matter. Potential employees can walk in and meet with branch managers face-to-face, which makes all the difference in building trust and finding the right fit.
