Sector Memo

Professional Services financing for New Orleans businesses

Professional services in New Orleans - law firms, accounting practices, consulting groups and partner-led firms - concentrate in Downtown, Dublin and the Metairie / Gahanna professional corridors. Operators here are typically partnership-owned, asset-light and partner-comp-driven, which means the standard SBA-and-equipment toolkit fits poorly and unsecured / revenue-aligned structures fit much better.

The dominant products for established professional firms are unsecured working capital lines, partner buy-in loans against future distributions, and revenue-based financing for growth investments that don't fit on an equipment-loan structure. SBA 7(a) still fits when a firm is acquiring another practice or partner book. Real estate purchases through SBA 504 fit when a firm finally buys out its Downtown or Dublin office.

Drawbridge Lending pre-screens for unsecured-friendly lenders within the SBA Preferred Lender pool and the broader specialty bench, rather than running you through general underwriting that demands collateral a professional services firm doesn't have.
