Verticalized receivables finance · Staffing agencies

Placement-to-payroll funding — same-business-day.

The contract was signed; the placement started; the invoice is on the week's run. Your payroll is on Friday. Quaystone closes the gap — buys the weekly invoice and the WIP-on-assignment behind it, advances cash before payroll is due, and lets the host employer pay when they pay.

  • Payroll funded before it runs
  • WIP-on-assignment priced in
  • End-buyer concentration read, not punished
  • Non-recourse during volatile placements

How it works

Four steps. From placement to funded payroll.

The weekly invoice you bill against an active placement is already an asset. We treat it that way — priced by the host employer's credit, the contract terms, and the WIP exposure, not by a small-business credit score.

  1. 01

    Submit your weekly invoices

    Push them straight from your ATS or VMS — Bullhorn, JobAdder, Avionté — or send them by email. We read assignment start date, end-buyer, fee, and placement terms.

  2. 02

    Underwriting that reads WIP

    Our STF-0xxx model is trained on contract terms, end-buyer concentration and WIP-on-assignment exposure — not a generic small-business credit grid.

  3. 03

    Choose recourse or non-recourse

    Recourse for cheaper rates; non-recourse for off-balance-sheet protection during a contract cancellation. You pick. We write the contract the same day.

  4. 04

    Fund before payroll runs

    Same-business-day ACH once invoices clear verification. Payroll is never waiting on your bank thanks to us.

Why staffing agencies move to Quaystone

Bank-funded factors treat placement receivables like a credit card balance. We price them for what they are.

Send a placement invoice
Day-one payroll funding
Turn a 45-day contract-to-cash cycle into same-business-day liquidity. Payroll never sits on your account waiting for a host employer to pay.
WIP-on-assignment modelled
Receivables mid-assignment don’t fall through a generic credit grid. Our STF-0xxx model prices them on contract terms, bill rate trajectory, and end-buyer payment history.
End-customer concentration read
Concentration with one or two host employers is normal in staffing. We don’t punish it the way banks and generic factors do — we price the receivables for what they actually are.

Detroit Tier-1 auto supplier. Payroll day one. Same rail, same currency.

A staffing agency placed thirty-eight production-line contractors at a Tier-1 automotive supplier in metro Detroit. The host's payment terms ran net-60; payroll ran weekly. Quaystone bought the weekly invoice plus the WIP-on-assignment exposure, advanced same-business-day ACH against the first run, and settled the receivable on FCI-aligned rails via Atradius when the host finally paid — so the agency never carried the gap on its balance sheet.

Pull-quote
