New website and educational resources bring three generations of staffing experience to the forefront as agency owners navigate changing financial and operational demands.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As the staffing industry shows signs of renewed growth, agency owners face an increasingly complex challenge: securing the capital, operational support, and expertise needed to turn new business opportunities into sustainable growth.

Encore Funding, a family-owned funding partner serving staffing entrepreneurs, today announced the launch of its refreshed brand and website, reflecting the company’s continued evolution alongside the businesses it supports.

The announcement comes as the American Staffing Association reports that U.S. staffing industry revenue increased 3.3% year over year in the second quarter of 2026, with staffing employment also recording gains. While these figures signal improving industry activity, staffing entrepreneurs must continue to balance growth opportunities against payroll obligations, client payment cycles, and the operational demands of running their businesses.

For staffing firms, growth often creates a unique financial challenge. Employees must be paid weekly or biweekly, while customers may take 30, 60, or even 90 days to settle invoices. As agencies expand their client relationships and workforce, access to working capital becomes an important part of their ability to deliver.

Encore believes the relationship between staffing entrepreneurs and their funding partners must extend beyond financing alone.

“The staffing industry has changed significantly over the years, but one thing hasn’t changed. Entrepreneurs need a partner who understands what it takes to build and grow a staffing business,” said Chad Eberly, General Manager at Encore Funding. “We’ve spent three generations working alongside staffing owners, helping them navigate challenges, take advantage of opportunities, and build stronger businesses. This next chapter is about bringing that experience forward and making sure we’re continuing to evolve alongside the entrepreneurs we serve.”

More than funding: Supporting the business behind the business

Encore’s refreshed positioning reflects an approach built around three principles: personal relationships, removing operational complexity, and applying decades of staffing industry experience to help entrepreneurs navigate what comes next.

Through its combination of payroll funding, back office support, and strategic guidance, Encore works as an extension of its clients’ businesses, allowing agency owners to spend more time building client relationships, placing talent, and pursuing growth opportunities.

The company’s new website brings that approach together through clearer messaging, improved access to information, and a greater emphasis on helping staffing entrepreneurs understand the financial and operational decisions involved in running their agencies.

“When a staffing owner lands a major new client, that’s an exciting moment. But it also brings questions about payroll, cash flow, compliance, and whether the business has the infrastructure to support that growth,” said Dane Adelman, VP Business Development at Encore Funding. “Our job is to help take those challenges off their plate. We want entrepreneurs to know they have real people they can call, people who understand their business and are invested in helping them succeed.”

Bringing three generations of knowledge to the next generation of staffing entrepreneurs

A central part of Encore’s brand evolution is making its industry expertise more accessible to both established agency owners and entrepreneurs entering the staffing market.

Through Encore U and its educational masterclass series, the company is placing greater emphasis on providing practical guidance around the questions staffing founders face, from understanding payroll funding and managing cash flow to building the operational foundation needed for long-term growth.

The educational initiative reinforces Encore’s belief that helping staffing entrepreneurs succeed means providing knowledge and support, not simply financing their invoices.

“We’ve seen firsthand what it takes to start a staffing company, what can go wrong, and what separates businesses that grow sustainably from those that struggle,” added Chad. “We want to share that knowledge more openly. If we can help an entrepreneur make a better decision, avoid a common mistake, or feel more confident about their next stage of growth, we’re doing what we’ve always believed a good partner should do.”

As technology, workforce expectations, and business models continue to evolve, Encore’s refreshed brand represents a commitment to adapting while maintaining the personal relationships and staffing expertise that have defined the company across three generations.

“The new brand and website are an important step, but this is about much more than a new look,” added Dane. “It’s about making it easier for staffing entrepreneurs to understand who we are, what we can help them accomplish, and why having the right partner matters as their business evolves.”
