The collaboration is aimed at broadening the spectrum of financial choices available to regional brokers and developers who may feel underserved by more established lending institutions.

Commenting on the partnership, David Travers, CEO at Scottish Bridging Loans, stated: "This is our first partnership with a commercial finance network.

“We were introduced to Synergy by Donna Kerr, managing director at DMK Finance — a Synergy franchisee based in Glasgow — and were impressed by the quality of the brokers in the network.

“The proposals we have seen so far evidence their expertise and allow us to turn around deals quickly, which is a great outcome for their customers."

Piotr Twaits, managing director at Synergy, added: "Bridging has been a very active market for our network in recent months.

“Having a lender with such a targeted geographical focus will help them win more business in the weeks and months ahead.

“We're excited to see the positive impact this partnership will have on our network and the local business community."
