For more than two decades, we’ve stood alongside entrepreneurs through economic booms, recessions, labor shortages, and market disruptions. One thing has remained constant: great entrepreneurs find a way forward. We’re here to make that journey easier.
Built Around Staffing Success
Encore Funding was built with a singular focus: helping independent staffing entrepreneurs compete, grow, and succeed. For more than 30 years and across three generations of family business, our leadership team has provided over $35 billion in funding to staffing businesses through every type of market cycle, with 60% of that capital supporting underfunded entrepreneurs and minority-owned businesses. Every solution we offer is designed around the realities of the staffing industry and the challenges agency owners face every day.
We don’t serve a dozen industries. We serve one. That depth of expertise allows us to provide more than funding, delivering strategic guidance, operational insight, and a true partnership built on trust. When we stay true to ourselves and our mission, everything else good simply follows. Our efforts begin with building trusting relationships with CEOs and management teams because that’s the foundation for developing the right solutions to help businesses grow. We listen, and then we listen more. It’s how we gain the understanding needed to provide guidance, support, and capital that make a meaningful difference.
More Than a Funding Provider
Encore clients don’t just get capital. They get a team that has been embedded in the staffing industry for over 30 years. Beyond payroll funding, we provide the back-office infrastructure and strategic expertise to help agencies of every size compete, scale, and build something that lasts.
Invoice advances that keep payroll running on time, every week, regardless of when clients pay.
Payroll processing, invoicing, tax administration, and software, all handled in your name so you run leaner and focus on growth.
M&A advisory, VMS/MSP guidance, DEI certification, and growth strategy from advisors who’ve helped hundreds of owners make their most important decisions.
Whether you’re launching your first placements or expanding nationally, our working-capital solutions flex with your business.

The Five Pillars of Encore
Longevity
30 years of staffing industry funding experience, backed by a combined 670 years of experience across our team, brought to every client relationship through good cycles and difficult ones alike.
Flexibility
Creative capital solutions tailored to fit your agency’s size, stage, and goals, not a one-size-fits-all product.
Commitment
A reputation built on trust across multiple economic cycles: we show up when it matters, not just when it’s easy.
Relationships
Deep networks across the staffing industry, including associations, lenders, advisors, and strategic partners that unlock better outcomes for our clients.
Efficiency
Fast, focused onboarding and execution: most agencies are funded within two to three weeks, with a seamless process from application to first advance.
The Encore Advantage
A differentiated funding experience driven by industry insight, operational depth, and genuine access to decision makers, not an underwriter you’ll never speak to.
A culture built on integrity, collaboration, and teamwork, one that holds itself accountable for performance excellence and takes pride in the quality of every client interaction.
A commitment to equitable access: 60% of our capital has gone to underfunded entrepreneurs and minority-owned staffing businesses, because we believe opportunity should be available to every entrepreneur with the drive to pursue it.
We’ve funded staffing agencies through recessions, bank crises, pandemics, and labor market shifts, and we know how to adjust when conditions change.
