British business bank

The government-owned British Business Bank has chosen
most lenders on our panel to help businesses that need funding.

Bridging Finance is a way for property developers to use a house or land as a bridge and release equity. This type of financing is most commonly used by companies to fulfil short-term working capital needs.

Funding11 does not require perfect credit for bridging finance. However, any applicant for this type of finance will need a clear exit strategy, as no lender will lend the money if there is no clear way for it to be paid back.

The property on which we can secure bridging finance can be residential, buy-to-let, semi-commercial or fully commercial.

Bridging finance often is a short-term way of raising funds. The best way to think about bridging finance is as a temporary arrangement that helps you get where you want to go until you are either able to pay back the money or secure more permanent finance. It’s why it’s called bridging finance.

How can bridging finance be used?

Lenders usually offer bridging finance for buying or renovating property as a form of property development finance. The property can be residential, buy-to-let, semi-commercial or fully commercial. The work can be either complete property development or simply an improvement like the addition of a bathroom or a flat.

Bridging finance can also be used for other commercial purposes, as long as there is a clear exit in place. An ‘exit’ describes how you either plan to completely clear the bridging finance arrangement or to shift it onto something like a term mortgage or another more permanent type of finance.

There are both closed and open bridging arrangements. Closed ones are lines of credit with fixed exit dates in place. Open bridging arrangements are granted without any exit fixed. This means you will be given a certain period in which to pay the money back.

Funding11 can take you through your options so together we can agree which lender best fits your needs.

Because bridging finance is a specialist in nature the interest rates can be higher than more traditional finance arrangments. When you tell Funding11 how much you require we will be able to find the best lender for you.

NOTE: With Funding11 a typical bridging finance arrangement

The reality is that bridging finance can be in your account much faster than more conventional alternatives. Lenders can take weeks to complete term loans, but out bridging finance can be ready within as little as 5 business days.
