Why Consulting Firms Are Building Their Own Credit Arms

from Service Business Talks with Fexingo: Consulting, Agencies, and Professional Services · host Fexingo

Episode 38 of Service Business Talks with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna examine the growing trend of consulting firms launching in-house credit and lending divisions. Using the example of a mid-tier firm that started offering working capital advances to its own clients, they break down the economics: why a consultancy can earn 12-15% risk-adjusted returns on a $50 million credit pool, how regulatory arbitrage works, and what this means for traditional lenders. They also discuss the cultural tension between advisory objectivity and being a creditor. A specific, data-driven look at one of the more surprising vertical integrations in professional services. #ConsultingFirms #CreditArms #Lending #ProfessionalServices #VerticalIntegration #WorkingCapital #PrivateCredit #RegulatoryArbitrage #RiskManagement #ClientFinancing #AlternativeLending #BusinessStrategy #ServiceBusinessTalks #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance #ConsultingTrends #ProfitPool Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
