Asset-Based Loans
Legal, accounting, consulting, and marketing firms often invest heavily in office equipment, technology, and real estate. Asset-based loans allow businesses to leverage these assets to access capital for working capital or strategic growth initiatives.
SBA Loans
The SBA 7(a) and SBA 504 loan programs are ideal for legal and professional services firms seeking low-cost financing solutions. These loans can fund office expansions, technology upgrades, or working capital needs while providing favorable interest rates and terms.
Lines of Credit
Managing cash flow is crucial for law firms, accounting practices, consulting agencies, and marketing firms. A line of credit offers immediate access to funds to cover operational costs, unexpected expenses, or fluctuations in revenue, providing flexibility in managing daily operations.
Term Loans
Term loans provide a lump sum of capital for significant investments, such as expanding office space, hiring new staff, or investing in marketing efforts. These loans feature predictable payments, making them suitable for long-term financial planning.
Equipment Financing
Firms often need to invest in office equipment, technology, and software solutions to remain competitive. Equipment financing allows businesses to spread the cost of purchasing or leasing essential equipment over time, preserving cash flow.
Receivables Factoring
Receivables factoring enables firms to sell their unpaid invoices for immediate cash, improving liquidity and allowing for continued operations while awaiting payment.
Recent M&A Activity and Equity Financing for Legal & Professional Services
In recent years, the legal and professional services sectors have experienced a surge in M&A activity, reflecting a trend toward consolidation and specialization. In 2023, the legal sector alone saw over $5 billion in mergers and acquisitions as firms sought to enhance their service offerings and geographic reach. Similarly, accounting and consulting firms are increasingly acquiring niche practices to broaden their expertise and client base, while marketing firms seek to integrate innovative solutions and digital capabilities.
For business owners in these sectors, equity financing options such as growth equity, strategic mergers, and business exits provide pathways for scaling operations or transitioning ownership while maintaining the firm’s legacy. Haro’s expert team connects firms with suitable equity partners who align with their growth objectives, ensuring a successful partnership.
