Day-one salary. Full company setup. Tech stack included. AXS Capital structures investment around founders — not the other way around.
Every investment we make is structured to maximise founder equity, minimise upfront financial risk, and give you the runway to build something genuinely valuable.
AXS Capital takes a partnership approach. We invest financially and operationally — sharing the risk, contributing expertise, and creating a structure that rewards you for the hard work of building your agency.
We fund a competitive salary from the moment you launch, giving you the financial security to leave your current role without risking your personal finances or your family’s security.
We invest in the operational foundation of your business so you do not have to. Everything you need to trade professionally from day one is covered.
Your full technology and brand infrastructure is funded and built as part of the AXS Capital package. No upfront tech spend required on your part.
For those looking to launch with a larger team or accelerate growth quickly, we can structure seed and growth capital packages to fund additional headcount and market expansion.

We move quickly but carefully. Here is what to expect once you get in touch.
A relaxed, confidential conversation about your background, ambitions, and what you want to build.
We review your billing history, sector knowledge, and client relationships to assess the investment opportunity.
We present a clear, founder-friendly investment proposal with multiple modelling scenarios. No surprises.
Agreements signed, company set up, tech deployed. You start billing. We stay by your side as you scale.
Book a free, confidential discovery call. No obligation, no pressure — just an honest conversation about what is possible for your recruitment business.
We’ve designed our investment structure specifically for the recruitment industry — meaning the terms, timelines, and expectations are built around how recruitment businesses actually generate revenue.
You submit your billing history, target sector, and business goals. We assess your profile — typically within 48–72 hours — and identify the right investment structure for your situation. We look at your track record, not your savings account.
Once approved, we agree the terms of your investment — including your day-one salary, the services included, and the revenue-share structure. Everything is transparent, documented, and structured to align our interests with yours.
We handle everything outside of recruitment — company formation, banking, technology, brand, compliance, and back-office. You focus entirely on building your client base and making placements from day one.
As your agency grows and generates revenue, you begin repaying the investment through an agreed revenue-share. There are no fixed monthly repayments — your obligations scale with your billings, protecting your cash flow in the early months.
We invest in people, not business plans. The right candidate for AXS Capital investment typically has the following profile:
No. AXS Capital does not take equity in your recruitment agency. You own 100% of your business from day one. Our return comes from the revenue-share structure, not from owning a stake in what you’ve built.
Because repayments are tied to revenue, a slow month means lower obligations. There are no fixed monthly payments that could jeopardise your cash flow. We’re invested in your long-term success, not just the short term.
Most AXS Capital-backed agencies are fully operational within 4–6 weeks of the investment agreement being signed. This includes company formation, banking, CRM setup, and brand creation — all handled in parallel by our operations team.
Yes. While AXS Capital is headquartered in London, we invest in recruitment professionals across the United Kingdom. Your agency can operate from any location — the back-office infrastructure we provide is entirely remote-ready.
