Bridging the gap

In today’s commercial market things move quickly. Some clients need a cash injection to progress an opportunity immediately. 

With the current restrictions on lending from traditional sources and the changes to future short-term lending regulations, it seems that bridging finance will play a more prominent role in the industry, particularly as alternative solutions to provide cash quickly become more important. 

Bridging finance is no longer a last resort option; it is a flexible, viable solution to short-term liquidity issues. It also provides several repayment options to offer clients the time required to attain longer-term business objectives. 

As the funding options continue to be limited and the industry expands its commercial finance portfolio to support clients in an uncertain market, bridging will become a key growth area.
