Questions

The ones we actually get asked.

Industry-specific answers — not generic boilerplate. Don't see yours? Drop us a line.

Do you fund single-partner practices?+

Yes — solos are common, especially for office build-outs and tech upgrades. Smaller deals, fast.

Will you advance against unbilled WIP?+

Generally no — we advance against billed AR with aging under 90 days. Unbilled WIP is too lumpy to underwrite.

What about agencies on retainer revenue?+

Retainer revenue is great collateral for an LOC — predictable, recurring, easy to underwrite. We can size larger lines than card-based businesses.

Is partner personal credit a factor?+

Yes, but firm financials lead. We've funded partnerships with mixed personal credit when the firm books were strong.
