Partners & Referrals

ShiftFunded is a lead-referral service, not a lender or factor. When a staffing agency submits a funding request, we match it with an independent funding partner and share the information provided so that partner can reach out about options. The partner — not us — reviews the agency, makes any offer, and sets all terms. Our funding partners make all credit and pricing decisions.

Our partner network includes providers across several categories of commercial financing relevant to staffing:

• Invoice-factoring and accounts-receivable financing companies, including staffing-specialist factors
• Payroll-funding providers (funding bundled with payroll processing and back-office support)
• Working-capital and revenue-based financing providers
• Business term-loan and line-of-credit lenders
• SBA-focused lenders and referral desks

How partners are selected. We match requests on fit: staffing niche, monthly billings, receivables profile, time in business, amount requested, and how the funds will be used. We refer each request to one partner at a time — your information is not blasted to a list of buyers.

How we are paid. We may receive compensation from a funding partner when a referral results in funding. You never pay us anything, and compensation does not change the terms a partner offers you.

What we don't do. We do not make credit decisions, quote or negotiate rates or terms, collect fees from applicants, or handle application documents. Questions about an offer belong with the funding partner who made it; questions about how your information is handled belong with us — see our privacy policy and disclosures.

If you sell into or serve staffing agencies, you see the cash squeeze before anyone else does: weekly payroll on one side, net-30/60 client terms on the other. ATS and staffing-platform vendors, PEOs and payroll providers, workers'-comp and insurance brokers, CPAs and bookkeepers, and independent recruiters are often the first to hear "we had to pass on that order — we couldn't float the payroll."

When that conversation happens, you can point the agency here. The pre-qualification takes about five minutes, costs nothing, doesn't affect credit, and puts the agency in front of funding partners that work with staffing receivables every day — so your client or prospect stops losing orders to a funding gap, and your product or service keeps its seat at a growing account.
