Funding solutions for recruitment businesses

‘Cash is King’, how often do you hear that phrase! Running a recruitment business, particularly one with a temp desk, is extremely draining on cash. How do you manage that? Should you borrow, can you fund out of existing cash flow? 

We know that, on average, a borrower seeks funding support only 7 days in advance of it being needed and they tend to go to one lender; their existing bank. 

The truth is, most of us spend much more time and effort planning our summer holiday than we do on raising hundreds of thousands of pounds of funding for our business.  Working with us will give you, on average, a 4x greater chance of successfully securing the lending your business needs with the most suitable terms.
