Are cash flow issues holding your business back?

Are cash flow issues holding your business back? You’re not alone. Many service-based businesses face the challenge of managing ongoing expenses like payroll, equipment, inventory, and bills, all while waiting weeks—or even months—for customer payments to come through.

Client story

$400K in Net-60 invoices funded for a staffing company

“Before Sigma, payroll kept me up at night. We're a staffing company, so no matter when clients paid us, our people still needed their check every Friday. There were weeks I genuinely didn't know if we'd have enough to cover it. Since working with Sigma, that stress is gone. The money's there when I need it, every time.”

Addressing Payroll Challenges for Staffing and Service-Based Businesses

Managing payroll is a critical yet often challenging aspect of running staffing and service-based businesses. These companies routinely face a disconnect between when they need to pay employees or contractors and when they receive payment from clients. This delay creates cash flow gaps that can disrupt operations, hurt team morale, and slow down growth. Finding effective solutions to bridge these financial shortfalls is essential for maintaining stability and ensuring the business has the resources necessary to thrive.

  • Payroll timing challenges

    Staffing and service-based businesses often face delays in receiving client payments, which can take up to 90 days, while needing to pay employees or contractors on a weekly or biweekly schedule.

  • Impact of cash flow gaps

    Delayed payments to employees can harm morale, disrupt daily operations, and strain trust, making it harder for businesses to grow or take on new work.

  • Solution through invoice factoring

    By advancing funds based on unpaid invoices, factoring helps bridge cash flow gaps, ensuring timely payroll and operational stability.

  • Focus on growth and relationships

    A reliable factoring partner enables businesses to maintain strong workforce relationships and focus on expansion without financial interruptions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get in touch

What Types Of Factoring Are There?

There are two main types of factoring: recourse and non-recourse. With recourse factoring, the business buys back an invoice that stays unpaid after a set period, so it keeps the risk that a customer doesn't pay. Credit insurance can cover that risk under the policy terms. Non-recourse factoring costs more and covers only a customer's bankruptcy or insolvency. A customer who pays late or doesn't pay is still the business owner's responsibility. Sigma offers recourse factoring with optional credit insurance and doesn't offer non-recourse.

How Does it Improve Cash Flow For My Service Business?

Factoring is an effective way to improve cash flow for businesses that struggle with slow-paying customers. By selling their outstanding invoices to a factoring company, businesses can receive immediate payment and reduce the risk of bad debt. This influx of cash allows them to meet their financial obligations, such as payroll and vendor payments, without delay. Additionally, it provides the necessary funds to invest in growth opportunities and take on new projects, ensuring the business can continue to thrive despite cash flow challenges.

Will It Help Stabilize My Finances?

Factoring can also enhance predictability for businesses by providing a steady stream of cash flow. By selling their outstanding invoices to a factoring company, businesses can receive regular payments, reducing the uncertainty associated with slow-paying customers. This consistent cash flow enables businesses to plan their finances more effectively, make informed decisions, and achieve their business goals. With the financial stability that factoring provides, service-based businesses can focus on delivering exceptional services to their clients and driving long-term growth.
