In short
The business needed funding for payroll and contractor costs before customer payments were received. We arranged £8,950. The £8,950 facility completed.
Staffing businesses pay their people before their clients pay them. The gap between the two is the business model, not a warning sign.
This staffing and consultancy business needed a lender that saw it that way.

FAQs
Questions about this case
How can a staffing business fund the gap between payroll and payment?
Common options include invoice finance and working capital facilities sized to the payroll cycle. The right lender sees that gap as the business model it is. See recruitment finance.
Is this a real transaction?
Yes. Every case study on this site is a transaction we arranged and saw through to completion. Client details are anonymised, and we only publish what we can verify: we never invent figures, rates or outcomes.
Do you lend the money yourselves?
No. Smart Funding Solutions is a credit broker, not a lender. We search a panel of 300+ lenders, present your case to the ones whose criteria fit, and manage the application through to completion. The lender makes the final decision and all finance is subject to status.
What does it cost to talk to you?
It is free to enquire and there is no obligation. Any broker fee is disclosed separately before you proceed, and there is no obligation to accept an offer.
