Recruitment Finance FAQ

Which is bigger, Sonovate or Giant Finance+?

On the figures each publishes, Sonovate: it reports more than £8bn funded since it launched in 2014 and operations in 44 countries. Giant Finance+ says it is trusted by over 2,000 customers but does not publish a funded total, so a like-for-like size comparison is not possible.

Which advances more of each invoice?

Sonovate advertises prepayment limits of up to 100%. Giant Finance+ does not publish an advance percentage on its funding page, so ask for its figure in writing when you compare quotes. A high advance matters most for agencies with tight margins and weekly payroll.

Which is better for international recruitment?

Sonovate operates in 44 countries and supports multiple currencies. Giant Finance+ is primarily UK-focused. If you place contractors internationally, Sonovate is the stronger choice.
