Invoice Finance For Neutral Vendor Recruitment Agencies
When placing temporary staff via a Neutral Vendor managed service provider (MSP), it makes its more difficult to secure invoice finance. This is mainly due to:
- High debt concentration with one single debtor, the Managed Service Provider (MSP)
- Invoicing a managed service provider (MSP) instead of the end client
- Contractual terms with the MSP, such as paid when paid clauses
These issues mean that some highstreets banks and mainstream invoice finance companies, will not provide factoring.
However you temporary recruitment agencies can still access invoice finance from specialist providers that work with recruitment agencies in this sector.
We can also help with RPO Invoicing, which is similar to going via an MSP.
