Guides

Six questions firm owners actually type.

Each guide answers one question the way an owner asks it, states the criteria in a table, and points to the product page where the numbers live. None of it is behind a form.

Can a law firm get a business loan without a personal guarantee or with bad credit?

Answers: “Can a law firm get a business loan with bad credit?”

Yes on bad credit, with conditions on the guarantee. What a law firm can qualify for with no minimum FICO, which products require a personal guarantee, and how receivables funding sits apart.

Can my agency get a business loan if it has been open less than two years?

How much working capital can my firm get, and what does it cost?

Answers: “How much can I borrow against my firm’s deposits and what will it cost me?”

Sizing is 75% to 150% of a month's deposits, measured on the slowest month. How the payback, the daily or weekly payment and the early-payoff discount are calculated, using the published $150,000 example.

How do law firms pay case costs on a contingency case before it settles?

Answers: “How do personal injury firms fund case expenses before settlement?”

Working capital on a weekly ACH, or a line opened after a settlement. Why the fee cannot be factored before resolution, how settlements count as deposits, and how the early-payoff discount works when the case resolves.

Calculators

Run your own numbers

The formula and a worked example for each calculator are printed in plain HTML below, so the page is useful and citable with JavaScript switched off.

Payment estimator

Formula: the total payback is set by the amount you take and the term you choose, and it is a fixed dollar figure, not a rate. Daily payment = payback ÷ (months × 21 business days). Weekly payment = payback ÷ (months × 52/12 weeks). Payment amounts round up, so the debit is never larger than the number you were shown.

Worked example: $150,000 over 12 months → total payback $190,500, cost of funding $40,500, daily $756, weekly $3,664. An illustration, not an offer.

Receivables funding cost

Formula: advance = invoice × advance rate (up to 90%). Fee = invoice × the per-30-day rate × (days outstanding ÷ 30). Released on payment = invoice − advance − fee.

Worked example: a $60,000 invoice on net-45 at an illustrative 2.5% per 30 days → $54,000 advanced within 24 hours, a $2,250 fee, and $3,750 released when the client pays. An illustration, not an offer.

Days of payroll the receivable covers

Formula: days covered = (open invoices collectable this month ÷ monthly payroll and fixed overhead) × days in the month. Below 30, the firm is funding its own clients’ payment terms out of the owners’ draw.

How to use it: run it on your A/R aging every month-end. If the answer keeps landing under 30, the fix is a line of credit opened now or receivables funding on the slow payers — not a bigger advance in the crunch.

Payment capacity

Rule of thumb we underwrite to: the payment is sized against your slowest month in the statement window, not your average, and we want the account to stay above its historical average daily balance floor after the debit.

Worked example: a firm depositing $100,000 in its best month and $70,000 in its worst is sized off the $70,000, which is why seasonal and contingency practices should send four statements rather than three.
