What is Bridging Finance?

Bridging Finance has proved to be a particularly useful product for our clients because of the flexibility, speed of completion and improved pricing in the marketplace over the last few years.

Due to our diverse panel of lenders we’re in the fortunate position to offer our clients both unsecured and secured bridging facilities.

The below guide will set out exactly what to expect from Bridging Finance and how this product can assist your business.

What are the Types of Bridging Finance Out There?

Unsecured Bridging –

Capped at a max lend of 250k our unsecured bridging facility provides businesses with a short-term interest-only facility to help them reach the next step.

A bespoke, revolving 3 month facility which we have secured specifically for Acorn Business Finance clients, the facility can be revolved up to 3 times.

At the end of the 4th quarter, if you’re not quite ready to repay the capital, you have the option to repay it over a further 12 months (capital and interest).

There is also the option to revolve a further 12 months on top of that, if for any reason you cannot pay after the first year.

Secured Bridging –

For deals ranging from £200k – £25m over a max term of 18 months secured bridging finance is a bespoke solution which is assessed individually rather than just pricing according to Loan To Value.

And once offered, the rate will remain fixed for the term of the loan period.

What can Bridging Finance be used for?

Bridging finance can be used for a variety of property related criteria:

  • Buying uninhabitable property.
  • Funding renovation/restoration work.
  • Purchasing a property under its’ market value.
  • To invest in buy-to-lets.

 

 

Tip: Always request a breakdown of the cost of the loan from your lender. There may be hidden fees such as ‘exit fees’ , ‘valuation fees’ or ‘fund management fees’ that may not be disclosed upfront. Don’t always focus on the lowest interest rate as this may be bumped up by these hidden costs, always look at the total cost of the loan.

Benefits

  • Can be used for large amounts, up to £25m.
  • Often can be used to purchase property that would not be possible to buy using other finance options.
  • The competitive market is leading to a reduction in interest rates.

Nicki was very helpful and kept us up to date with everything - even when she had time off she made sure we were updated. Whenever there was a query she got to it quickly and helped us understand the issue so we could answer and solve it straight away. It became a very simple process so we could focus on our business.
Very helpful and kept up to date with everything
Stuart was quick to understand our requirements and was able to recommend a cost-effective solution. The process was professional and efficient from start to finish. Each stage was explained thoroughly and our documents checked by the team, so we could get things right first time - we would not hesitate to go back to Acorn Business Finance for any future requirements.
A really positive experience
5 stars from start to finish. Stuart and his team were fantastic!
5 stars from start to finish
Stuart at Acorn was superb. Understood our fully requirements, engaged with us pro-actively throughout. Could not have been more helpful. Organised all the funding requirements we needed at excellent rates. Could not recommend enough.
Engaged with us pro-actively throughout
All the team have been extremely helpful and kept me in the loop with progress reports as we have gone along. I would definitely recommend Stuart and Cathy for their helpful attitude, nothing has been too much trouble during a time that has been stressful for our business.
Taken the stress away
Amazingly quick to get the deal done from start to finish, and to get the money into the bank. A breath of fresh air and the wonder why everyone else can't work like this. Thoroughly recommended.
Amazingly quick
I have dealt with Stuart and his team at Acorn Finance for a number of years now and they are very efficient, always keep you updated, and you receive a personal service. They understand our business needs. The CBILS Loan from initial enquiry to funds in the bank less than a week. I would highly recommend them.
Speedy Personable Service - Highly Recommend
Truly fantastic and dependable service. In such turbulent times and with the criteria for meeting CBILS loans incredibly high, having a dependable broker that is willing to spend the time to truly understand your business needs as well as having a deep-rooted understanding of ever-changing requirements from such a vast array of providers is invaluable. Highly recommended.
