There are around 30,000 recruitment agencies in the UK, 79.5% of which have fewer than 10 employees.

That means that if you’ve managed to grow your agency to employ over 10 people and enjoy revenue growth year on year, congratulations are in order! You’re ready to take things to the next level.

But this next stage of growth isn't without its challenges - tight cash flow, unpaid invoices, struggling to find the right tools, support, and technology – and scaling at pace can be tough.

That’s why we’ve launched two solutions, Parasol Recruitment Finance and Scale-up Recruitment Toolkit, so you have access to everything you need to scale faster, efficiently, and with less stress.

you can access up to 90% funding through Parasol Recruitment Finance
to improve cash flow and grow your recruitment business. Driven by data, you
