# Loans for architects and design firms

> Architects and design firms can fund studio purchases, expansion and project working capital through Loan Against Property, overdrafts against property, commercial property purchase loans and, for design-build firms, cash credit and bank guarantees. Lenders assess professional receipts and project pipeline, so presenting fee realisation and receivables clearly is central to a strong application.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do design-build firms need different finance from pure architects?

Yes. Pure design practices mostly need OD or LAP. Design-build and turnkey firms carry material and subcontractor costs, so they often need cash credit, mobilisation advance guarantees and performance bank guarantees.

### Can project receivables support a loan?

Lenders consider receivables in working capital assessment, but they look closely at ageing. Long-pending fees from clients reduce drawing power and raise questions.

### Can an architect use a professional income programme?

Several lenders include architects in self-employed professional programmes based on qualification and years of practice. Requirements differ, which is why lender selection matters.
