About Recruitment Finance
What funding options are available for my recruitment company?
Invoice Finance
Invoice finance can issue your recruitment company with a cash flow injection by releasing capital tied up in outstanding and/or unpaid invoices. It is a short-term credit solution that helps businesses operate normally with minimal or no cash flow disruption. This is a good way to remain financially nimble and proactive, as you’re able to navigate the sometimes-lengthy periods between the issuing of an invoice and receipt of payment.

Secured business loans are a popular funding option for recruitment agencies that have valuable assets to offer as collateral. The lender provides a loan in exchange for a security interest in your agency’s assets, which can include property, inventory or equipment. This type of funding can be used to cover a range of costs, from office renovations to hiring additional staff. You can typically borrow £25k – £2m over 15 years.

Unsecured business loans, on the other hand, do not require collateral but may have higher interest rates than secured loans as a result. They can be a useful option for recruitment agencies that do not have valuable assets to offer as security against the loan. This type of funding can be used for a variety of purposes, such as expanding your agency’s marketing efforts or investing in technology upgrades. You can usually borrow in the region of £1k – £500k over six years. Find out more about unsecured business loansRevolving Credit Facility
Revolving credit facilities provide access to a line of credit that can be drawn on as needed, similar to an overdraft. This type of funding can be useful for recruitment agencies that have ongoing expenses or that want a safety net, so to speak. You can generally borrow £10k – £2m over two years, and dip into it and pay it off as you go. The more you borrow, the less you have available, but as soon as it’s paid off, the original borrowed amount will be available again. Find out more about revolving credit facilitiesAsset Finance
Asset finance involves using your agency’s assets, such as equipment or vehicles, as collateral to secure funding. This type of funding can be useful for recruitment agencies that need to purchase new assets to support their operations, as well as those that want lower interest rates on credit and are happy to use assets as security against defaulted payments. You can typically borrow £1k – £2m over seven years. Find out more about asset financeHow to use external finance for your recruitment agency growth
Hire Staff
One of the most significant ways that agencies can use recruitment finance is by hiring more staff. With more employees, your agency can take on more clients and expand its business offerings. This could include bringing on specialists to help with candidate sourcing, marketing, or account management. By investing in high-quality staff, your recruitment agency can improve its services and attract more business.Improve Cash Flow
It’s well known that recruitment agencies can have notoriously long payment periods, where you do not receive payment for 60 or even 90 days. Invoice finance is an excellent way to navigate this financial limbo, because it enables you to release and use the capital locked in unpaid invoices.Upgrade Operations
Another way that agencies can use external recruitment finance is by upgrading operations, such as applicant tracking systems. Modernising your technology with equipment loans can help your agency work more efficiently, automate manual tasks, and improve the overall candidate experience. By upgrading to a more sophisticated system, you can track candidate data, automate job postings and manage recruitment campaigns more effectively – freeing up more time to take on more clients.Move Premises
The third more prominent way recruitment agencies can use external finance to grow is to expand their business premises. A larger, more prominent location can help attract more clients, give employees more space to work, and provide a better experience for candidates. Additionally, a more extensive space can help your agency improve its brand image and create a better reputation in the market. Whether it’s hiring more staff, upgrading applicant tracking systems, or expanding their business premises, Aurora Capital can help you find the right funding solution for your needs. Speak to us about your growth plans and learn more about our funding solutions today.Qualifying for recruitment finance largely comes down to the type of credit you’re applying for. Different lines of credit will have different requirements, but as a general rule of thumb, here at Aurora Capital, we work with businesses that meet the following criteria:
- 6+ months trading history
- £100,000+ annual turnover
- UK based
- £10k – £5m funding requirements
- Positive credit history
If you have a low credit score or your recruitment agency is a startup and therefore doesn’t have an extensive history, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you won’t be eligible for secure business funding. We work with a range of lenders that provide finance to companies with adverse credit.
Making an application is the easiest way to find out if you can access a finance product, and at Aurora Capital, applications don’t have a negative impact on your credit score, so there’s all the more reason to submit an application and see what options are available to you.
The amount you can borrow will depend on several factors, including your credit history, asset value, and the type of finance you choose.
Your credit history is one of the most important factors that lenders consider when deciding how much to lend you. If you have a good credit score, you are more likely to be approved for larger loans with better interest rates. On the other hand, if you have a lower credit score, lenders may be more cautious about lending to you, and you may need to provide additional collateral or a guarantor to secure a loan.
Another factor that can impact how much you can borrow is the size of your business; Turnover and Profit. Many lenders will evaluate the strength of your business based on these 2 key metrics. Lenders will be more willing to lend if you have evidence that your business is growing and has the ability to repay the loan.
Finally, the type of finance you choose can also impact how much you can borrow. For example, if you choose a secured loan, you may be able to borrow more money than if you choose an unsecured loan. Similarly, if you choose invoice finance, the amount you can borrow will depend on the value of your outstanding invoices.
At Aurora Capital, we understand that every recruitment agency is different, and we work with our clients to find the finance solution that best meets their needs. Whether you need to borrow a small amount to cover short-term expenses or a larger amount to fund expansion, we can help you find the right finance solution for your recruitment agency.

Recruitment agency finance FAQs: FAQs
Before you apply for credit, it’s important to understand what lenders look for when evaluating loan applications. Here are some common red flags that lenders may look for:
- Poor credit score – Lenders will typically check your credit score to determine your creditworthiness. If your score is low, it may be a red flag that you’re a risky borrower.
- High debt-to-income ratio – This is the amount of debt you have compared to your income. If your ratio is too high, it may indicate that you’re overextended and may struggle to repay the loan.
- Inconsistent income – Lenders want to see a stable income that can support loan repayments. If your income is inconsistent or unreliable, it may be a red flag.
- Lack of collateral – If you’re applying for a secured loan, lenders will want to see that you have collateral to secure the loan. If you don’t have any, it may be a red flag that you’re a risky borrower.
- Poor business performance – Lenders may look at your business’s financial performance to determine whether you’re a good candidate for a loan. If your business is struggling or has a history of poor performance, it may be a red flag.
There are lenders that work with businesses with adverse credit histories, meaning that whilst there may be red flags, you might not necessarily get turned down. That being said, it’s useful to know what lenders look for so you can make your application as strong as possible and increase your chances of getting approved.
- Check your credit report – Make sure your credit report is accurate and up-to-date. If you notice any errors, dispute them and get them resolved.
- Pay down debt – If you have high balances on credit cards or loans, paying them down can help improve your credit score.
- Make payments on time – Late payments can have a negative impact on your credit score. Make sure you’re making payments on time to avoid any penalties.
- Don’t apply for too much credit – Applying for multiple loans or lines of credit at once can lower your credit score. Only apply for credit when you need it.
