The deviations of $B$-meson decays measured in $R_{ D^{ (*)}}^{ \tau\ell}$ and $R_{ K^{ (*)}}^{ \mu e}$ can be explained by the presence of two scalar leptoquarks, a singlet $S_1$ and a triplet $S_3$, mostly coupled to the third generation. We consider a theory of resonances, as an effective description of a strongly interacting theory, that generates the leptoquarks and the Higgs as Nambu-Goldstone bosons, with the rest of the resonances at a scale of order $10-30\ { \rm TeV}$. We assume anarchic partial compositeness for the flavor of the SM fermions. Under these hypothesis we study whether it is possible to reproduce the deviations in the $B$-decays without being in conflict with flavor and electroweak bounds. We find a tension between $R_{ D^{ (*)}}^{ \tau\ell}$ and some flavor observables, dominated by flavor violating $\tau$ decays and $\Delta m_{ B_s}$, that require a tuning of order $10-25\%$. We also compute the potential of the scalars showing that leptoquarks with masses ${ \cal}O(2-3)\ { \rm TeV}$ can be naturally expected in the model. We discuss briefly the phenomenology of the other resonances.
