~ The leadership team of Encore Funding is celebrating 25 years of excellence in the staffing industry. Founded by Joel Adelman, an entrepreneur serving entrepreneurs, Advance Partners was created in 1998 with a vision to help staffing entrepreneurs grow their businesses. During Adelman's time as CEO, Advance Partners lent over $20 billion in working capital to thousands of staffing agencies, many of which were minority-owned businesses.

In 2021, Adelman created Encore Funding to continue his legacy of entrepreneurship in the staffing industry. He assembled Encore Funding's leadership from the team who helped build Advance Partners' legacy. With the five original founders and many senior leaders of Advance Partners now at Encore Funding, Adelman and team are building the brand as entrepreneurs serving entrepreneurs.

Crain's Cleveland noted in early 2022 that "the entrepreneurs behind Encore Funding are taking the first steps toward growing the Cleveland-based lending business into Advance Partners 2.0." In addition to customized, alternative lending solutions, Encore Funding offers clients strategic consulting, resources and networking support. Clients also receive access to the tenured executive team that has delivered more than $20 billion in funding to entrepreneurs.
