This is like 'if there is no problem'. But 'よろしければ' is about your feelings. 'If it's good for you'. The other phrase is more formal. It asks if there is a real problem or barrier.
Watch out: Do not mix up よろしければ and よければ. よければ is for friends. よろしければ is polite. Use よろしければ with people you do not know well. Use it with people like your boss or teachers.
Use this when you want to ask for something politely. It makes your request soft. It shows you care about the other person. They can say yes or no easily.
