The Association of Bridging Professionals (AOBP) has announced that it has added another Associate Lender to its panel.

London-based principal funder Capital Bridging Finance (CBFL) has become the 21st addition to the AOBP’s Associate Lender panel having spent three years in the short term industry.

CBFL has provided its services to a select number of brokers and has achieved an excellent reputation for delivering fast, bespoke, short term financial solutions.

As demand for bridging finance continues to gather momentum, CBFL is confident that it can widen its broker relationships and still maintain the exemplary service for which it is known.

The lender holds the education and support its broker partners at the core of its proposition and sees its new membership with the AOBP as an excellent platform from which such priorities can be strengthened.

Speaking about his firm’s appointment, Keith Aldridge, Principal of CBFL, said: “CBFL operates in a highly ethical environment and becoming an Associate Lender of the AOBP supports our position. We also appreciate the added value that a trade body such as AOBP brings to our business and this is a relationship that we look forward to contributing to and gaining from.”

Executive Committee member and CEO of Brightstar Financial, Rob Jupp, said: “We have worked with CBFL since November 2012 on first and second charge unregulated bridges. CBFL would not feature in the top quartile on price but they will win with their uncluttered decision-making and entrepreneurial thinking.”

“We have certainly completed on deals with them that we wouldn’t have done if it wasn’t for their existence.”
