About Recruitment Funding Solutions
Recruitment finance, built around your agency.
At RFS, we do one thing—and we do it exceptionally well: recruitment funding.
We’re not a bank. We’re not a generic finance company. We’re a specialist partner to UK recruitment agencies, providing invoice funding, payroll, and back-office support designed specifically for the way recruiters work.
Whether you’re placing temps, contractors, or perm candidates, we deliver flexible, transparent solutions to help you manage cashflow, pay workers on time, and grow with confidence.
Where traditional finance falls short, we step in.
We started RFS to fill a gap in the market: recruiters needed funding that actually understands recruitment.
From rigid terms and hidden fees to poor service and slow decisions, traditional lenders simply weren’t fit for purpose. We set out to change that—with funding that’s fast, fair, and focused on recruiters.
