Why legal practices seek specialist funding
Law firms often face uneven cash flow: large client settlements, staged payments, retainer shortfalls and costs that must be paid well before fees are collected. Traditional banks may not always understand the cashflow profile of legal practices, so specialist finance solutions are commonly used to bridge gaps and support growth.

Eligibility Snapshot for Solicitors
Typical information lenders may request
- Limited company trading history and management background
- Case mix, anticipated settlements and aged debt / WIP
- Details of PI cover and key compliance arrangements
- Recent accounts, management accounts, bank statements
Practice profiles we commonly help
- Small and mid-sized law firms, multi-branch practices and Alternative Business Structures (ABS)
- PI-focused firms, family law, conveyancing and mixed-practice firms
- Firms seeking asset finance, invoice/WIP facilities or PI premium spreads
Credit & security considerations
Availability, rates and terms depend on lender criteria. Factors such as CCJs, recent arrears or weak cashflow can restrict options — but our panel includes specialists who consider complex situations. Minimum facilities typically start around £10,000.
Funding availability and terms are determined by the lender or broker reviewing your application.
Funding Scenarios We’ve Helped Solve
1. Bridging major disbursements for a PI firm
A mid-sized personal injury firm needed to fund £250,000 of expert and counsel fees across a portfolio of cases. We matched them with a specialist case-funding broker; an offer was arranged within 5 working days, enabling case progression without using the firm’s working capital.
2. Office refurbishment and IT upgrade
A regional family law practice required £120,000 for a fit-out and new case management software. A tailored asset finance package split the cost, preserved cash and allowed staged repayments aligned to their cashflow forecast.
3. PI premium finance to smooth annual costs
An established multi-partner firm opted to spread a £90,000 annual PI premium through a broker we introduced. Monthly payments improved budgeting and avoided a seasonal cash pressure point.
Comparing Solicitor Loan Providers: What to Consider
When reviewing offers, firms should weigh:
- Rate structure: fixed vs variable interest and fee breakdowns
- Arrangement, facility and exit fees
- Early repayment terms and penalties
- Experience with legal-sector lending and willingness to work with trust account constraints
- Security and whether personal guarantees are required
Using an introducer like Fast Business Loans gives you multiple quotes to compare quickly — increasing the chance of a competitive, suitable solution while saving time. We do not recommend a single lender; we connect you with a curated panel so you can decide.
Checklist before accepting an offer:
- Has the lender explained all fees and repayment terms?
- Are any guarantees or securities fully understood and documented?
- Does the repayment schedule align with your cashflow and settlement timings?
- Has tax and accounting impact been considered with your adviser?
