Why accountancy practices seek finance
Accountancy firms face specific funding pressures that differ from other sectors. Here are the most common reasons practices contact us:
- Irregular cashflow between billable work and client payment cycles — short-term working capital to smooth payroll and overheads.
- Invoice timings: fees in progress or retainers can leave cash tied up — invoice finance or debtor facilities release working capital fast.
- Technology investment: cloud systems, practice management software and secure client portals require capital to implement.
- Partner buy‑ins and succession: structured practice buy‑in loans or facility packages to support partner changes or retirements.
- Office move or fit‑out: commercial mortgages or short-term commercial loans for premises and refits.
- Acquisitions and growth: bridging or growth funding to acquire another practice or expand services.
Here’s why this matters: matching your specific need to a lender with experience in professional services increases the chance of a suitable offer and reduces wasted time.

Funding options for accountancy firms
Working capital & cashflow loans
Short to medium‑term loans to cover payroll, subscriptions and unexpected outgoings. Typical sums vary by firm but we handle requests from £10,000 upwards with flexible terms depending on credit profile and security.
Invoice finance & debtor lines
Invoice factoring or discounting converts billed fees into immediate cash. This is ideal when client payment terms are long or uneven. Providers consider aged debt, client concentration and quality of invoices.
Practice buy‑in, succession & partner funding
Specialist facilities can support partner buy‑ins, shareholder loans or funding to smooth succession. Lenders experienced with professional practices understand valuation nuances and transition costs.
Asset & equipment finance
Lease or hire purchase options for IT, servers, office equipment and fittings. Spreads the cost and preserves cash while enabling technology upgrades that improve service delivery.

Eligibility & documentation checklist
While each lender sets its own criteria, these are commonly requested items when applying for business finance:
- Limited company accounts (typically last 1–3 years where available).
- Management accounts and cashflow forecasts covering the next 3–12 months.
- Details of partner/shareholder structure and any key client concentrations.
- Bank statements (usually 3–6 months) and aged debtor listings for invoice finance.
- Information on any existing debt or CCJs.
- Business plan or acquisition details for buy‑in/succession funding.
Newly formed practices or recent partner restructures can still be considered — some lenders accept limited trading history if supported by strong management accounts and projections.

Costs, terms & what to expect
Rates and fees vary significantly by product, lender and credit profile. As a guide:
- Invoice finance: pricing often includes a discount rate plus service fees, depending on the level of cover.
- Working capital loans: rates depend on security and term; unsecured or short‑term facilities typically carry higher rates.
- Asset finance: structured so repayment is aligned to the asset life; deposit or balloon options may apply.
- Commercial mortgages: longer terms with arrangement fees and valuation costs.
Fast Business Loans does not charge you for the introduction. Lenders or brokers may charge arrangement or ongoing fees, which should be disclosed by them before you sign any agreement. Any borrowing is subject to status and the terms set by the chosen provider.
