£1.8M Bridging Loan to Support Business Expansion

Client: UK Entrepreneur and Business Owner
Loan Amount: £1,800,000
Security: Commercial Premises and Residential Property
Category: Bridging Loan for Business

Global Bridging Finance was approached by a successful entrepreneur seeking a £1.8 million bridging loan to fund a major business expansion. The client’s company had recently secured a lucrative new contract but required immediate liquidity to purchase new equipment and expand operations before long-term financing could be finalised.

The client’s main challenge was timing; traditional lenders were unable to release funds within the short window available. To prevent losing the business opportunity, Global Bridging Finance proposed a short-term bridging facility secured against a combination of commercial and residential assets owned by the client.

Working quickly, our team conducted a full assessment of the client’s financial standing and exit strategy. Within just 72 hours, the indicative terms were agreed upon. We collaborated closely with the lender’s underwriting and legal teams to ensure all valuations and documentation were completed in record time.

The funds were released within 10 working days, enabling the client to proceed with their business expansion plans uninterrupted. Once the project was complete and cash flow stabilised, the client refinanced onto a traditional business loan to repay the bridging facility.

This case demonstrates Global Bridging Finance’s expertise in structuring complex funding solutions for business owners who require speed, flexibility, and precision when opportunities arise.
