Staffing agency challenges: payroll timing, client payment timing, and ramping new business
Staffing agencies pay their workers weekly, sometimes daily, while client invoices are typically collected on net-30, net-45, or even net-60 payment cycles. That gap has to be covered by someone, and it's usually the agency. When a new client signs and headcount needs to ramp fast, or a top account grows overnight, the payroll obligation can outpace the cash sitting in outstanding invoices.

Where a staffing agency line of credit does the heavy lifting
Six moments when staffing cash flow needs backup — and how a Loot line of credit can help.
Cover payroll while client invoices are still outstanding
Temp and contract workers expect to be paid weekly, but the client billing them often pays on a 30-, 45-, or 60-day cycle. A line of credit can help bridge that gap so payroll goes out on time no matter where an invoice sits in the collections process.
Ramp up headcount for a new client contract
Landing a new account can mean staffing dozens of workers within days of signing, well before the first invoice is even sent. A line of credit can give an agency the working capital to onboard and pay a new crew without pulling cash from existing placements.
Handle a seasonal or surge staffing order
Retail peak season, holiday fulfillment surges, and event-based staffing orders can multiply a client's headcount request overnight. A line of credit can help cover the payroll spike until the client is billed and collected.
Cover payroll taxes, workers' comp, and benefits
Payroll taxes, workers' compensation premiums, and benefits contributions are due on a fixed schedule regardless of when client payments land. A line of credit can help keep these obligations current without disrupting cash set aside for active placements.
Smooth out a slow collections stretch
A client running behind on payments, a dispute over hours, or a slower accounts payable department can leave an agency waiting on cash it's already earned. A line of credit can help cover payroll and operating costs while collections catch up.
Expand into a new market or open a new branch office
Opening a new branch, adding a specialty vertical, or hiring additional recruiters and account managers takes upfront capital before the new business line is billing. A line of credit can help fund the expansion while keeping current branches fully staffed and paid.
How a staffing agency line of credit helps

How a Loot line of credit works for a staffing agency
Say your agency needs $22,000 to cover this week's payroll for a newly placed crew of 15 workers while the client's first invoice is still at net-45. With Loot, you can draw $22,000 from your approved line.
Before you confirm, you choose a fixed weekly repayment plan upfront, such as 16, 20, or 24 weeks. You see the total cost before you move forward.
If the client invoice is collected sooner than expected and you pay the draw off early, there is no prepayment penalty. Paying off early can save up to 50% of remaining fees.
As you repay, your line revolves — the funds become available again as you pay down the draw. Same-day approval is standard, decisions happen in minutes, and once approved, same-day funding is available for a $49 transfer fee.
