Heavy-quark form factors are calculated at to all orders in
at the first order in
. Using the inversion relation generalized to vertex functions, we reduce the massive on-shell Feynman integral to the HQET one. This HQET vertex integral can be expressed via a
function; the nth term of its
expansion is explicitly known. We confirm existing results for
terms in the form factors (up to
), and we present results for higher L.
