About this sector
Finance in the Professional Services sector
Professional services firms — accountants, solicitors, architects, surveyors, consultants and marketing agencies — tend to underestimate how capital-intensive their operations can be. Modern IT infrastructure, quality client-facing environments and professional vehicles all require ongoing investment.
Asset finance allows professional services firms to maintain modern working environments without tying up cash. IT equipment ages quickly — a finance lease with a 3-year term means always working with current technology without a large capital outlay each cycle.
GDFS arranges finance for professional services businesses across the UK. Whether you are fitting out new offices, refreshing a client-facing space, upgrading server infrastructure or funding a fleet for a field-based practice, we source competitive terms from our panel of 30+ lenders.
