Built for IT & Technology Staffing Firms
IT staffing carries unique cash flow pressures that generic funding solutions weren’t built to handle. Encore understands the specific challenges that create friction for technology staffing agencies.
Long Client Payment Cycles
Enterprise technology clients routinely pay on Net 30 to Net 120 terms. Some of the longest payment cycles in staffing. Encore advances cash on your invoices so you’re never holding your breath while clients clear their AP queues.
Consultant Payroll Demands
IT contractors and consultants—whether W-2 employees or 1099 independents—expect consistent, timely compensation. Encore processes payroll accurately and on time, every week, regardless of where your clients are in their payment cycle.
Rapid Hiring Fluctuations
A new enterprise contract can require rapid onboarding of dozens of contractors in a short window. Encore’s funding scales with your invoice volume so you can onboard fast and fulfill large engagements without a capital crunch.
Project-Based Staffing Variability
IT staffing is inherently project-driven; revenue spikes when projects launch and dips when they wrap. Because Encore’s funding is tied to your invoices rather than a fixed facility, your available capital moves with your business instead of against it.
How IT Staffing Payroll Funding Works
