Quba Solutions Review
Quba Solutions is a recruitment funding specialist rather than a general SME lender. It offers "recruitment funding, invoice factoring service, a CMS and a brandable timesheet app", and says it supports "entrepreneurial recruiters with a minimum experience of three years in any recruitment sector" (Quba's website).
Quba suits recruitment agencies, temp or perm, that want funding and back-office support in one package. Businesses outside recruitment should look at a general invoice finance lender. More detail + scope

When Quba Solutions Fits
-
Temp recruiters with weekly payroll to fund
Quba pairs invoice factoring with payroll funding, aimed at paying contractors on time while clients take their usual terms.
-
Recruiters who want credit control handled
Quba provides a dedicated credit controller to chase invoices, plus debt protection.
-
Experienced recruiters starting their own agency
Quba's stated test is three years' recruitment experience, and it covers temporary, permanent, construction and international recruitment.
When to Look Elsewhere
-
Any business outside recruitment
Quba's products are built for recruiters. Other businesses should compare general lenders in our provider directory.
-
Recruiters wanting to fund individual placements only
Compare selective or platform-based recruitment funders such as Sonovate, and check whether they fund per invoice.
-
Larger agencies wanting confidential discounting
Quba describes factoring and payroll funding, not confidential invoice discounting. Larger agencies that run their own credit control may prefer a discounting facility from a general lender.
