The Bridging Finance Fund is fully regulated and invests in short-term lending opportunities which are asset-backed primarily by residential UK properties. Investments will be highly diversified with conservative Loan to values (LTVs) underpinned by rigorous due diligence and risk management.

As Traditional Banking funding becomes more constrained and inflexible Alternative Finance seeks to capitalise and become an increasingly popular source of lending. There is a strong and growing demand for alternative finance from borrowers with tangible assets. Non-bank lending offers a fast and flexible financing vehicle and is rapidly growing that can fill this structural economic gap.

The key assessment of lending is based on collateral, not on multipliers on future income. A lack of availability through traditional channels has created alternative avenues offering attractive risk-adjusted returns.

With firm focus on late stage growth companies our connectivity to venture capital enables clients to secure equity in some of the largest privately held companies in the world.

This type of transaction is unique in comparison to operating within day-to-day markets. We typically focus on unicorns, which are private companies with a minimum of a $1 billion valuation, exhibit dynamic growth, and have all of the characteristics of an enterprise destined for a successful IPO.

The VC acquires shares from an employee or ex-employee via a direct transfer of stock. They may or may not sit directly on the Capitalisation Table of the company. On occasion, we also gain access to shares from an early investor through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV).

A key strength is our skillset in sourcing high quality access, pricing, and analysis. We are actively consistent in targeting companies on behalf of clients with specific sector profile and investment criteria.

We also regularly receive enquiries to facilitate purchase of equity which we may not be involved in directly, however due to our developed relationships we can locate these on a case-by-case basis.
