Temp Staffing companies Can Help Small Businesses Develop

August 15, 2012

Think of this, the national employment rate in June was 8.2%. That means that there are a lot of GOOD people out of work. If your business is seeking a qualified individual but do not want to higher for the long-term I highly recommend looking into a temp Staffing company.

Another benefit using a temp Staffing company to find short-term employees is you are able to expand your reach to highly experienced workers qualified in special areas. According to The Wall Street Journal after surveying 811 business owners found that 31% reported “they had unfilled job openings in July because they couldn’t identify applicants with the right skills or experience.”

Additionally, 41% of 154 small manufacturing firms surveyed reported they were un-able to find skilled and experienced workers.

Why?

Most business owners get applications from their websites, and walk-ins. Sure they get tons of applications, but a lot of the applicants have similar skills. By leveraging the databases Temp Staffing companies have you can narrow down your search. Business owners told The Wall Street Journal “We could grow a lot faster if we could find the right people.”

In the past it would make sense to train employees. However with the high turns in technology there may be a steep learning curve. Or maybe you’re looking for an applicant with a skill you don’t possess like PHP coding.

Factoring VS Bank Loans

Just about the most common statement I hear individuals make is that factoring is far more expensive than a loan from the bank. This comparison is like comparing apples & oranges but most business owners still believe it. The reason is because factoring is a financial tool that few business owners fully understand.

First, lets make it clear that when a company can qualify for sufficient financing from a traditional bank and that is the very best financial option for the business then factoring need not to be considered.

However if a company is unable to obtain adequate financing from a bank then factoring may be a better option for small businesses.

first- Factoring is not debt financing, you don’t receive money like you will from a traditional bank. A factoring company actually purchases the invoice from your business, therefore the invoice is an asset you’re selling. These invoices must be purchased at a discount so it should not be compared to an interest rate from a line of credit.

2nd- Turnaround time for authorization for funding from your traditional bank is often longer than 2 months with alot of unnecessary pain and paperwork. Your banker has to get approvals and the underwriting team has many hurdles for you to jump over in order to get funded. With factoring you can get an account and get funded in as fast as a week and then on future invoices you can receive funding in 24 hours. Plus if you acquire additional customers the factoring company will fund you for them in 24 hours.

third- A traditional bank generally needs to see a minimum of 2 years of financial for your business as well as requires you to have collateral together with your invoices EVEN a personal guarantee. On the other hand, A factoring company can provide funding to start-up companies so long as their customers are creditworthy and all that is required is the accounts receivable and many factoring companies don’t demand a personal guarantee.

fourth- A factoring company in addition offers even more services. As opposed to a traditional bank, a factoring company constantly monitors your accounts receivable and collections. They offer credit screening for potential new clients for your company and they provide up to date aging reports to help you in getting a better handle on your receivables aging. A factoring company is also constantly advancing new funds as well as collecting outstanding invoices and your credit facility continues to grow with your new accounts.

To sum it up the big issue is not if factoring is more costly than a bank loan, because it is obvious that the two cannot be compared. As a business owner you should consider advantages of factoring vs. a bank loan.

With factoring you never be worried about out-growing your credit line or quickly spend your loan and get into debt with the bank. With factoring you can get additional capital easily when needed so your credit line grows as your business grows.

Plus if you are unable to meet orders due to insufficient working capital, then factoring offers you the cash-flow needed to complete the order. If you find your business in this situation give us a call 1-888-382-3766 or visit us online by clicking here.

Meet Payroll Fast With Neebo Capital’s Staffing Factoring

This article is focused on using factoring effectively to meet payroll quickly

One of many consequences of the recent economic downturn is that organizations have become more guarded and conservative with their cash flow. For example, many companies are conserving cash by paying their invoices more gradually.

In return, this has impacted smaller companies who depend on steady predictable cash flow to have the ability to meet their obligations. Also, smaller companies are also doing the exact same thing and striving to pay their invoices slowly as well. Ultimately, everyone’s cash flow is being affected.

The problem with this is that many small companies live one invoice to the next (not unlike paycheck-to-paycheck) and a hold up in invoice payments can quickly jam up their cash flow. And also since few small companies have any meaningful cash reserves, a holdup may affect their ability to pay vendors – and more importantly – their ability to meet payroll.

Missing out on payroll can have substantial negative outcomes that could in the end lead to the closing of the business. A line of defense to prevent a cash flow shortage is to develop a cash reserve. For businesses today this is easier said than done due to the fact most small businesses don’t have the ability to build a cash reserves.

However if you can build a cash reserve, your organization will be in a better situation to weather the inevitable storms that will hit your cash flow. If creating a cash reserve is not an option, then you should think about using a business financing solution that can enable you to cover payroll and other expenses if things get tight. Invoice factoring is a business financing solution which might be used to correct cash flow challenges relatively rapidly and without the hassles related with conventional financing.

It works by repairing the problem at the source. It supplies you a cash advance for your slow paying invoices, offering the cash you need to meet payroll and other essential expenditures. Using an invoice factoring remedy you can get rid of the uncertainty of client payments, enabling you to obtain a more foreseen cash flow.

One of many advantages of factoring is the most important thing you need to have to qualify for this type of financing is solid commercial customers. It’s ok if your customers pay slowly – given that they pay reliably. Aside from this, your business needs to be free of legal and tax issues. And factoring can be implemented fairly quickly – usually in a week or two.

One more advantage of factoring is that it’s tied directly into your sales. What this means is that it can be increased easily as your sales increase, provided that you are invoicing credit worthy customers. This makes invoice factoring the perfect solution for small companies with good potential customers that are hindered by cash flow problems.
