Bridging Loans Explained
These loans are a temporary short-term funding option which allows your business to receive funding before a permanent solution is found. Short term caveat loans or interim financing are also other terms for Bridging Loans.
It is often difficult to precisely match up the dates between the sale of an old asset and the purchase of a new one. This takes care of this problem right away, and they are perfect because they are both fast, and only for a short term
Our Bridging Loans are also be used for property purchases too. Although they can only be used for purchases of commercial property, or residential property being bought in a company name. However if this is the case, WE CAN HELP!
These loans provide you access to cash during this period to fund the purchase before your old asset is sold. Once the old asset has been disposed of, the capital raised from the sale can be used to pay off the bridging loan.

How Bridging Finance Works?
Bridging loans are a perfect finance solution for an individual or a business owner who requires funds for a short period of time. The could be to purchase a new asset which is either a property, equipment, etc. while waiting for the sale of another asset.
