Clients approach UK Bridging Loans either directly or via introducers. Basic questions by way of a “fact-finding” process are used by UK Bridging Loans to determine if the lending requirements are a possibility.
An immediate yes or no answer is given, and if suitable, a quotation is formulated and forwarded to the client, usually by email.
A formal offer is produced for any client wishing to proceed and forwarded for signature, again, usually by email.
Each client is visited at the security address for the signature of the remaining loan paperwork, including a CH1 land registry charging order. We will also collect any additional pre-requested documentation.
The signed documentation was immediately sent to our underwriters. Our model is based on very quick completions, as each deal is funded using all of our own money. On rare occasions, we may request additional information.
Average completion from initial acceptance to pay-out is usually just a few days. We rarely require valuations or additional legal representation. The land registry charge will be removed once the bridging loan is repaid.
The applicant could be too old to obtain a standard high-street mortgage, as most mortgage lenders now prevent borrowing beyond what is deemed “normal retirement age”.
The property may be in a condition where it is not suitable for mortgage financing, and as such, a bridging loan could be used to complete the purchase and any required work prior to refinancing.
The applicant may have had some adverse credit, however minor, which was previously acceptable to lenders but now no longer fits the high street lending criteria.
The applicant may have difficulty proving the income requirements needed for more regular financing. This may be due to poor self-employment records, a break from work, a reduction in self-employed workloads, or overtime.
What is a secured business loan?
A secured business loan is a type of financing that uses a business asset, such
as property, equipment, or inventory, as collateral. This means that the lender
has the right to take possession of the asset if you fail to repay the loan.
Secured business loans typically offer lower interest rates and more favourable
terms than unsecured loans, as lenders have a lower risk of losing money if
you default.
Are secured loans hard to get?
Secured business loans can be easier to obtain than unsecured loans, as lenders
have the security of the asset to protect their investment. However, they will
still assess your business's financial health and repayment ability before approving
a loan. You will need to have a good credit score, a solid business plan, and
a proven track record of profitability.
How do I qualify for a secured business loan?
To qualify for a secured business loan, you will typically need to meet the
following criteria:
How does a secured loan work?
In a secured business loan, the lender will assess your business's financial
health, creditworthiness, and the value of the asset you are offering as collateral.
If they approve the loan, they will secure the loan against the asset, meaning
that they have the right to seize the asset if you fail to make your payments.
You will then receive the loan amount, which you can use to finance your business
needs.
Is it a good idea to get a secured business loan?
Whether or not a secured business loan is a good idea for your business depends
on your specific circumstances. If you have a strong credit score, valuable
assets, and a well-defined business plan, then a secured loan can be a good
way to access financing at a lower interest rate and more favourable terms.
However, if you have a weak credit score or a history of financial difficulties,
then you may have difficulty securing a secured loan.
Does a secured loan hurt your credit?
Taking out a secured business loan can have some impact on your credit score,
as it will result in an application inquiry and a new account being opened.
However, the impact on your credit score is typically less severe than with
an unsecured loan, as the lender has the security of the asset to protect their
investment.
Do banks prefer secured loans?
Yes, banks typically prefer secured business loans as they offer a lower risk
of default. This is because the lender has an asset to seize if the borrower
fails to repay the loan. As a result, secured loans often have lower interest
rates and more favourable terms than unsecured loans.
