What Staffinc Does
Guide founders who want to start and grow a staffing agency: licensing, funding payroll, picking a niche, and landing the first clients.
Entity, insurance, licenses, and contracts — the sequence from idea to legally operating agency.
Why paying workers weekly while clients pay in 30–60 days is the core problem, and the financing options for it.
Why a tight niche — one industry, one role family, one city — beats a generalist launch.
How new agencies realistically land their first accounts without a brand or a track record.
How staffing markups are structured and what has to fit inside them — wages, burden, and your margin.
The employment, tax, and insurance obligations an agency takes on as the employer of its temps.
How Staffinc Works
Choose the industry, role family, and geography where you can know more than the incumbents.
Entity, insurance, licensing, payroll funding, and contracts — the machinery that lets you place worker one.
Land one account through your network, deliver visibly well, and let that reference open the next three.
About

Get matched
Partners respond. Transparent pricing. No surprises.
It varies widely by niche and location, and the dominant cost is rarely the office — it is funding payroll before clients pay their invoices. Model that cash gap before anything else.
Requirements differ by jurisdiction and niche: some places license all agencies, some only healthcare or security staffing. Check your local rules first — this site is educational, not legal advice.
One you have an unfair advantage in — industry experience, an existing network, or deep knowledge of a role family. Agencies win on specialization long before they win on size.
