Why this fit
Common cash-flow gaps in staffing & professional services. Invoice Factoring maps to the ones below.
These are the underwriting realities and operational pressures we see most often in this industry.
Weekly Payroll vs. Monthly Invoicing
Every Friday, you pay contractors. Every 30–60 days, your client pays you. That cash-flow inversion is the #1 reason staffing firms fail, and the #1 reason factoring exists.
Rapid Headcount Expansion
Landing a large MSA often means ramping 20–40 billable contractors in weeks. The working capital to cover payroll before the first invoice pays is the make-or-break moment.
Back-Office Technology
ATS systems, VMS integrations, and billing software modernize your margins but require capital. Term loans smooth the investment over multiple fiscal years.

Common questions
Invoice Factoring for staffing & professional services. Honest answers, no fine print games.
QDo my clients know I'm factoring?
Typically yes for staffing, notification factoring is standard because payments are redirected to a lockbox. Non-notification arrangements are available on request.
QWhat if a client pays late or defaults?
Non-recourse factoring covers client default on qualifying invoices. Late payments are handled through our collections process, you don't chase receivables.
QCan I factor 1099 contractor invoices?
Yes. The underlying B2B invoice to your client is what we factor. How you pay your contractors (W-2 or 1099) is separate.
QHow much of the invoice do I get upfront?
Advance rates are typically 85–95% of the invoice face value. The exact rate depends on your industry, client credit quality, and invoice aging terms. The reserve is released when your client pays.
QIs this recourse or non-recourse factoring?
Both options are available. Non-recourse factoring is slightly more expensive but ICG absorbs the loss if a qualifying client defaults on payment. Recourse factoring is cheaper but you repurchase unpaid invoices after an aging threshold.
QDo my clients know I'm factoring?
In notification factoring (standard), payments are redirected to a lockbox in ICG's name. Non-notification arrangements are available for established clients on request.
