LendInvest recently completed on a deal with commercial brokerage Capital Money Solutions, where its founder Charles Smith discussed how they worked with LendInvest, the bridging industry as a whole, and his background in the sector.

 

Charles has worked in the finance broking industry since 1984 and has run numerous businesses including a training company that advised and instructed around 850 commercial brokers. In 2006, he set up the commercial finance brokerage Capital Money Solutions (CMS), which provides a range of financial products to all types of business.

 

CS: I have found it extremely satisfying dealing with a lender that reacts to its brokers and works to get deals done. In many cases, with my clients, by taking a professional view and assisting to advise [in] the most appropriate way, [and] to get the result we all need quickly. I respect and value the relationship I have with the team at LendInvest.

 

CS: We had a deal for a disused car park development site in Suffolk very recently. This was being purchased by a regular client of ours. With lightning speed and efficiency and by pulling out all the stops, Lendinvest managed to get this completed and paid out within a working week. It was just incredible and an amazing reaction to what seemed an impossible task. They made Capital shine as a broker in the industry. It really was a great completion.

 

CS: We look for honesty, reliability, professionalism and transparent terms.

 

CS: All of our clients are commercial customers. We advise bridging finance for speed and security, to complete deals and to make great financial returns.

 

CS: Since 2007, and the absolute collapse of high street banks and many centralised lenders, bridging has become more mainstream. In the last five years bridging has become a form of finance that cannot be ignored. It’s used by all of our clients to support their conventional high street and regular funding facilities.
