Accountants/ Solicitors/ Advisors

Tailored funding solutions for legal, financial, and advisory professionals across the UK

What Is Professional Services Finance?

Professional services finance is designed to meet the unique needs of regulated firms such as accountancy practices, law firms, and business advisory consultancies. Whether you are looking to acquire a firm, bring in a new partner, invest in growth, or improve working capital, tailored funding can provide the flexibility and structure your firm needs.

At The Funding Group, we understand the cash flow cycles, client payment terms, and regulatory considerations that affect professional firms — and we work with lenders who do too.
