Bridging Finance FAQs

How does Bridging Finance work?
arrow down

Bridging loans are short-term finance solutions designed to provide fast funding. They ‘bridge’ the gap between a debt and a main line of credit becoming available. Bridging Finance relies on an exit strategy in order for the loan to be repaid, for example, selling a property or refinancing on to a buy-to-let mortgage.

Interest on Bridging Finance is charged at a monthly rate rather than an annual percentage rate (APR) because they are designed to be repaid within a few weeks or months.
