"When I had an unexpected opportunity to repurchase the staffing business I had sold, Jim Rothman and his Capital TempFunds team moved quickly to help make it happen. In a matter of hours, they set me up with a funding source and a front and back office vendor to facilitate a convenient and seamless transaction. The swift turnaround helped me close the deal without a hitch, eliminate interruption to the business operation, and start funding receivables immediately. That kind of responsiveness is critical to grabbing opportunities to grow. Capital TempFunds always steps up to the plate with a timely solution when I need it the most."

"As a franchise owner of 17 Manpower staffing offices in Iowa and Florida, I've done a significant amount of business with Capital TempFunds through the years. During a vulnerable time in our franchise history, I faced some tough financial challenges that included buying family members out of the business while coping with a downturn in staffing orders. When our local bank financing options evaporated, we found Capital TempFunds. Not only did your company provide the funding we needed to meet payroll and survive a soft staffing market, but you were also instrumental in advising us through some sensitive, make-or-break negotiations during our buyout process.

With your personal approach to financing and insightful support, I would call on Capital TempFunds for help in clearing any future hurdles that might impact our profitability. "

John J. Gavin, Jr., President
Manpower, Inc. of Cedar Rapids
