Market Invoice is an independent UK invoice finance comparison site that ranks 89 UK invoice finance providers.

UK law firms and LLPs face structural cashflow pressure: high partner drawings, ongoing salary and chambers/office costs, against client invoices that often pay 60 to 120 days after delivery (and sometimes only after matters conclude). Specialist legal-aware invoice finance providers (Bibby, Skipton, Aldermore, IGF) offer 80 to 90 percent advance at 0.5 to 2 percent fees. Confidentiality matters: most law firms use confidential invoice discounting (clients never know) rather than disclosed factoring. Personal injury and conveyancing firms with predictable matter completion timing get the strongest rates.

Law Firm Invoice Finance UK FAQ

Can law firms get UK invoice finance?

Yes. Standard 80-90% advance rates and 0.5-2% fees apply. Confidential invoice discounting is standard so clients never know the firm uses external finance. SRA regulation considerations are minimal because invoice finance is a finance product not a legal service.

Best invoice finance for UK law firms?

Bibby Financial Services and Skipton Business Finance for £250k+ practice turnover. Aldermore for £1m+ practices wanting confidential discounting. IGF Invoice Finance for sub-£500k startup practices and sole practitioners. Independent legal-finance brokers (Capitalise, Funding Options) can broker across multiple lenders for comparison.

Personal injury law firm invoice finance UK?

PI firms are well-served because the underlying matters resolve predictably (insurer-funded settlements, ATE policies, defendant insurer payment). Invoice finance providers fund disbursements (medical reports, court fees, expert evidence) and the firm's own fees pending settlement. Specialist PI lenders (Augusta, Therium, Burford) also offer direct litigation funding alongside.

Conveyancing firm invoice finance UK?

Conveyancing firms have a unique cashflow profile: completion fees crystallised on completion date but client account holds money until then. Invoice finance providers (IGF, Bibby, Aldermore) understand this and structure facilities around completed-fees rather than work-in-progress. Useful for smoothing seasonal volume (spring/summer peaks).

SRA implications of invoice finance?

Minimal. SRA Code of Conduct doesn't restrict the firm's use of external commercial finance. Confidentiality of client matters is preserved on confidential discounting facilities (clients never know). Some firms include notification of finance use in client engagement letters as a courtesy. SRA's principal concerns (client money, conflicts, competence) are unaffected.

Cost of law firm invoice finance UK?

0.5-2% per invoice on confidential discounting. Discount charge 1.5-3% above BoE base rate (so 5.25-6.75% APR currently). Service charge bundle 0.5-1.5%. For a £100k facility, all-in cost typically £6k-£15k per year, less than the working capital cost of waiting 60-120 days for client settlement.
