The simple version

What is timesheet finance?

Timesheet finance is invoice finance designed for recruitment agencies. Each week, your approved contractor timesheets are converted into invoices and funded straight away, releasing the cash to run your weekly payroll. Your clients then pay on their normal terms. Many facilities also include back-office support — invoicing, payroll and credit control — so a fast-growing temp desk can run without a large admin team.

In short: it removes the single biggest squeeze in temp recruitment: paying workers every week while waiting weeks or months to be paid by clients.
In plain English
Timesheet finance

An invoice finance facility for recruiters. Approved timesheets become funded invoices, advancing the cash to pay contractors weekly. Often bundled with back-office, payroll and credit-control support, and scaling automatically as you place more workers.

Who it’s for

Who it suits best.

If you place temporary workers and live with the weekly-pay, monthly-invoice gap, this is built for you.

Recruitment agencies

You place temporary or contract workers and invoice clients for the hours they work.

Weekly pay, monthly clients

You must pay workers every week, but clients pay on 30, 60 or even 90-day terms.

Fast-growing temp desks

Every new placement adds to payroll before the client pays — growth is eating your cash.

Heavy back-office load

Timesheets, invoicing and payroll are taking real time, and you’d value support running them.

New or scaling agencies

You’re building a temp book and need funding and infrastructure that grow with you.

Cash flow capping growth

You’re turning down placements simply because the weekly wage bill outpaces client payments.
