Bridging Finance Product Guide

As the name suggests, FundingSmiths help investors, developers and landlords react faster to investment opportunities – when it comes to auction days, refurbishment projects, or meet urgent tax bills. We can also help finance your new or current business ventures by releasing equity locked in your property or land. Alternatively, we give you the time and space needed to sell newly developed units: the opportunities are endless.

  • Open to complex and challenging cases.
  • Comfortable with offshore borrowing entities and structures.
  • Underwriting requests are sensible with no ‘second round’ review
  • Agreement-In-Principle can be delivered within 3 days for acceptable cases.
