How Payroll Funding Supports Minority-Owned Staffing Agencies

Access to cash remains a persistent challenge for minority-owned staffing agencies. The 2022 Fed Small Business Credit Survey found that only 19% of Hispanic-owned, 16% of Black-owned, and 15% of Asian-owned firms received all the financing they applied for, compared to 35% of White-owned firms. This disparity persists even among businesses with strong credit scores.

Unequal access to traditional financing restricts growth and undermines industry diversity. Our team at Encore Funding is committed to accessible capital for underrepresented staffing agency owners. See how equal access to cash can support your business growth.

How Payroll Funding Supports Minority-Owned Staffing Agencies

  1. Maintain Consistent Cash Flow

Delayed client payments can create a precarious financial situation, especially for smaller agencies. Payroll funding provides a steady cash flow, which can help your business meet payroll deadlines and maintain smooth operations.

  1. Enable Growth Opportunities

With financial flexibility, minority-owned agencies can confidently compete with larger firms, take on larger contracts and expand into untapped markets.

  1. Build Credibility and Winning Contracts

Employees and clients value dependability. On-time payroll can foster trust among your staff and strengthen your agency’s reputation. This reliability can unlock new opportunities for minority-owned staffing agencies.
