Quba Solutions vs MarketInvoice
Quba Solutions and MarketInvoice are not the same kind of business. Quba is a recruitment funding specialist offering invoice factoring, payroll funding and back-office support to recruiters with at least three years' experience (quba.solutions). MarketInvoice is a comparison site run by Best Business Loans Ltd. It is not a lender. We review and compare UK invoice finance providers, including Quba, Sonovate and Bibby Recruitment Finance, and you can go to any of them direct. If you ask us for quotes, our introduction partner, a UK invoice finance provider, handles your enquiry and comes back to you with quotes. If you know Quba is right and you fit its model, apply direct.

When Quba wins
- You run a recruitment agency and want funding and back office in one package: factoring, payroll funding, credit control and a timesheet app.
- You want a named relationship manager and credit controller rather than a self-serve platform.
- You are an experienced recruiter starting out on your own: Quba's stated test is three years' recruitment experience.
When MarketInvoice can help
- You want to compare Quba with other recruitment funders before committing: Bibby Recruitment Finance, Sonovate and Pulse Finance also fund recruiters. Our reviews cover each one.
- You do not meet Quba's experience criterion: other funders set their own criteria.
- You want to compare cost: Quba does not publish its fees, so get more than one quote before you sign.
- You were declined by Quba: our reviews set out what other funders ask for.
- You operate outside recruitment: Quba's products are built for recruiters, so a general lender will fit better.
If Quba is not a fit
Other providers to look at include Sonovate (recruitment-specialist platform with funding and back-office tools), Bibby Recruitment Finance (one of Europe's largest independents by its own description, with a dedicated recruitment finance product), Pulse Finance (names recruitment among the sectors it funds), and Ultimate Finance (independent generalist).

Quba vs MarketInvoice FAQ
What does Quba Solutions include besides funding?
Alongside invoice factoring and payroll funding, Quba provides a dedicated relationship manager and credit controller, debt protection, a brandable timesheet app, a CMS and its DynamiQ platform for monitoring timesheets, aged debts and credit limits. It does not publish advance rates, fees or a minimum turnover.
How does Quba compare with Sonovate?
Both are recruitment specialists that bundle funding with back-office support. The practical differences are eligibility (Quba asks for three years' recruitment experience), the service model, and price, which neither sets out in full publicly. You can read our reviews of both and contact each one direct.
Is MarketInvoice a lender like Quba?
No. MarketInvoice is a comparison site run by Best Business Loans Ltd (16833937). It is not a lender and does not have a panel of lenders. We review Quba and other UK recruitment funders, including Bibby Recruitment Finance, Sonovate and Pulse Finance, and you can go to any of them direct. If you ask us for quotes, our introduction partner, a UK invoice finance provider, handles your enquiry and comes back to you with quotes. You pay MarketInvoice nothing.
What if Quba declines me or I do not meet its criteria?
Quba says it supports recruiters with at least three years' experience in recruitment. If you are declined or fall outside that, other recruitment funders set their own criteria. Other providers to look at include Sonovate, Bibby Recruitment Finance and Pulse Finance. Our reviews set out what each one asks for.
