About this listen

How do you secure funding for a business where the primary value walks out the door every evening?


Financing the acquisition of a professional services firm presents a unique challenge because the assets are often intangible, built on relationships, expertise, and recurring contracts rather than heavy machinery or real estate. To win over a lender, you must show how that human capital and client loyalty will remain stable under new ownership.


In this episode, we are breaking down the specific strategies for financing service-based businesses like accounting practices, law firms, or consulting agencies. We explore how lenders view "goodwill" as collateral, the importance of transition periods for key personnel, and how to structure a deal that protects your investment while satisfying SBA requirements.
