What this publication covers, who it is for, and how it works.
What we cover
Staffing agencies run the widest structural cash gap in B2B. Payroll is weekly. Clients pay in 60. Every placement widens the difference, and growth widens it faster. General business-finance media does not model that. It assumes one cycle, monthly payroll, and a balance sheet a bank recognizes. Staffing trade media covers the desk, the placement, and the recruiter, and stops at the point where the money question starts. Staffing Agency Capital covers the money question in the numbers an agency actually runs: bill rate, pay rate, markup, gross margin per placement, days to collect.
Who this is for
Agency owners and CFOs, from single-office firms to multi-division agencies. Bill rate, markup, and gross margin per placement are the numbers this publication works in. The payroll date is not negotiable. You have already been to your bank, and the answer was no, or slow, or a number too small to matter. We assume all of that.
What we publish
- Guides: Long-form treatment of one financing question at a time. What a structure does to a weekly payroll cycle, what it costs, and when it is wrong.
- Articles: Shorter pieces on a single number, a single mechanism, or a single decision.
- Worked Examples: The math run at a stated revenue band, on stated terms, with every input visible. Modeled from industry norms and published benchmarks. Substitute your own figures and the model still runs.
- Structure Comparisons: Financing structures compared against each other. Criteria published before the assessment. Every structure gets a line naming when it is wrong.
- Benchmarks and Tools: Median markup, days to collect, and advance rates by staffing sector and revenue band. Calculators that run on your numbers.
