Fee businesses fund on cash flow
A consultancy's value is its billing, not a warehouse. A cash-flow lender advances against evidenced fee income, so the absence of stock or premises is a non-issue. Regular invoices and clean receipts are exactly what supports the loan.
What strengthens a consultancy application
Retained clients, recurring or contracted work, and steady turnover through the business account. Lumpy project billing is fine — lenders average it. Watch client concentration.

Frequently asked questions
Can a services firm with no assets really borrow?

What do lenders want from a consultancy?
Evidence of consistent billing through the business account, ideally with some recurring or contracted work, and manageable reliance on any single client.
