Healthcare Staffing Factoring - Nurse Staffing

Running a successful healthcare staffing company requires exceptional skill. Managing recruitment, credentialing, placements, customer concerns, payroll, and taxes can overwhelm even the most efficient teams.

 

In addition to these challenges, waiting 30, 60, 90, or even 120 days to receive payment creates payroll uncertainty for even the most successful operators.

At Gateway Commercial Finance, we understand the unique financial challenges faced by your medical staffing agency. Whether you’re dealing with slow client payments, high concentration, extended terms, or VMS’ red tape, our solutions help keep your agency’s cash flow positive and ready for growth.

Unlock Your Healthcare Staffing Agency's Cash Flow with Invoice Factoring

If your agency struggles to keep up with payroll or fund day-to-day operations, invoice factoring can be the financial solution you need.

From startups to established operators, we offer timely and cost-effective solutions to healthcare staffing agencies across the U.S.

Expert Care...

After nearly 30 years as a nurse, Tina Taylor decided to start her own nurse staffing firm. “I had no idea of the challenges we would face running a business. I’m a nursing professional, not an administratorso many parts to running your own business.” Gateway provided Tina with a suite of products and services designed to support a growing business.

 

“Gateway is an ideal partner. In addition to the cash flow, they expertly monitor and manage my receivables, monitor my customer’s credit ratings, and provide me with a suite of management reports that help me better manage my business. It’s nice having someone look after me for a change!”

We Know The Challenges Your Medical Staffing Business Faces

  • Delayed Client Payments: Many hospitals, clinics, healthcare facilities, and VMS operate on extended invoice payment terms, leaving your agency waiting weeks or months before you see payment for services.
  • Missing Payroll is Not an Option. Your nurses, allied health professionals, and other employees expect to be paid. Managing payroll without reliable cash flow can shutter your business overnight. 
  • Upfront Expenses: Medical staffing firms encounter significant upfront costs that can quickly drain available funds. Expenses such as sales and marketing, recruitment, onboarding, credentialing, training, payroll taxes, and covering travel and housing for nurses or per diem workers can severely impact cash reserves.
  • Fluctuating Demand: The healthcare industry experiences peaks and valleys—whether due to seasonal demand, crises, or workforce shortages—making it difficult to predict revenue streams.

How Factoring Helps Your Healthcare Staffing Company Thrive

Invoice factoring unlocks the cash in your accounts receivable, providing your medical staffing agency with the consistent cash flow it needs to operate smoothly. Here’s how factoring helps:

 

  • Immediate Cash Flow: Instead of waiting 30, 60, 90, or even 120 days for client payments, you can access up to 92% of the invoice value immediately. This allows you to pay your employees on time and cover other operational expenses.
  • Focus on Growth: With steady cash flow, you can focus on growing your agency, hiring new staff, and taking on more contracts without worrying about covering payroll.
  • Payroll Security: Factoring ensures that your nurses, LPNs,  CNAs, therapists, and allied health professionals are paid on time, keeping your workforce happy and loyal to your agency.

Types of Medical Staffing Companies Supported by Factoring

Staffing invoice factoring can benefit a wide range of medical staffing agencies, no matter the type of healthcare professionals they place or the environments in which they work. In addition, we often extend factoring to startups and mature companies.  Agencies that commonly use factoring include:

 

  • Temporary Nurse Staffing Agencies: Placing nurses, LPNs, and CNAs in acute care, long-term care, and outpatient clinics.
  • Travel Nurse Staffing Agencies: Managing the placement of traveling RNs, NPs, and LPNs in regions with temporary staff shortages.
  • Allied Health Staffing Firms: Providing physical therapists, radiology technicians, respiratory therapists, and other allied professionals in rehab centers, outpatient clinics, and hospitals.
  • Locum Tenens Staffing Agencies: Placing temporary physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants in underserved or rural areas.
  • Home Healthcare Staffing Companies: Supplying home health aides, registered nurses, and physical therapists to patient homes and assisted living facilities.

Here's How The Medical Staffing Factoring Process Works

Medical staffing factoring is a straightforward process that gives you the working capital you need to keep your agency running smoothly:

 

  1. Invoice as Normal: Once your medical staff completes their shift or assignment, you invoice your clients as usual.
  2. Submit Invoices to the Factoring Company: You submit your invoices to our factoring company when you’re ready.
  3. Receive Immediate Cash: Upon approval, our factoring company advances a percentage (typically 85-92%) of the invoice value to your agency, usually within 24 hours. This gives you the cash flow to pay your staff on time and cover business expenses.
  4. Customer Pays in Their Normal Course of Business: You remain the supplier of record, but your clients send the payments to a P.O. Box under your company’s name. Once the invoices are paid in full, the remaining balance (minus our small factoring fees) is sent to your agency.

Why Choose Factoring for Your Healthcare Staffing Business?

Receivable factoring is widely used and is a powerful financial tool that helps many businesses maintain steady cash flow, meet payroll obligations, and invest in growth. When your agency is experiencing delays in client payments and needs help managing cash flow, nurse staffing factoring can provide the financial flexibility you need to succeed.

 

Factoring is a better option than traditional loans for nurse staffing firms. It provides immediate cash based on outstanding invoices without creating debt or requiring lengthy approval processes. It is more flexible, doesn’t involve strict credit checks, and doesn’t require collateral or impact credit or your balance sheet.

Do not let cash flow bottlenecks slow your agency’s rapid growth. With medical staffing factoring, you can unlock the value of your outstanding invoices and keep your business moving forward!
