Secured Loans
- All types of assets:
We can work with you to lend against existing assets within your business, both new and old. We can also combine your property with assets within the balance sheet, helping us to release capital for our clients so they can fund a variety of business opportunities. Loan terms and LTV’s vary depending on the type of asset being secured. - Business Mortgages:
Our team can help you to release capital up to 70% loan to value on a 1st or 2nd charge basis, this can be against your house or a buy-to-let, which can be used for a variety of business purposes. This type of finance is often more competitive than an unsecured loan.
