My   team’s   history   &   experience   in   financial   services,   investment   and property lending is quite simply vast.  For   twenty-five   years   I   owned   and   ran   one   of   the   most   efficient   and successful   mortgage   and   loan   packagers   in   the   country.   At   its   peak   we employed    thirty-five    staff    and    operated    in    both    the    regulated    and non-regulated    markets.    We    were    directly    authorised    by    The    UK Financial   Services   Authority   (The   FSA)   for   nine   years   between   2004   to 2013. In   2010,   to   take   advantage   of   a   change   in   market   conditions   I   founded “Central   Bridging”,   a   privately   funded   principal   lender   in   the   short- term business lending market. Joining   me   on   this   journey   were   the   very   best   of   my   long-standing colleagues,   who   some   ten   years   later,   now   form   our   core   team,   each with   a   minimum   of   twenty   years   of   service.   Together   we   can   call   upon over   a   hundred   years   of   cumulative   knowledge   at   the   forefront   of financial services, investment and lending. Coupled    with    the    services    of    our    valued    Solicitors,    Philip    Ross (  www.philipross.com  )   with   whom   we   have   worked   closely   for   almost twenty   years,   we   have   built   an   extremely   strong   and   credible   position as    principal    lenders    in    our    industry,    working    with    an    exceptional number   of   HNW,   UHNW   &   corporate   investor   partners   who   fund   our lending. In    almost    ten    years    of    lending    we    have    risk    profiled,    originated, managed   and   redeemed   nearly   1,500   loans   and   have   yet   to   lose   a single   penny   for   any   of   our   investors.   This   is   a   record   of   which   we   are very   proud.   We   fund   and   assign   each   loan   with   one   investor   partner as it originates. We    have    arranged    loans    for    a    broad    range    of    clients,    including numerous    Businesses,    Solicitors,    Accountants,    Barristers,    Queen’s Counsels,   Property   Developers   and   Sports   Professionals   to   name   but a   few.   These   loans,   a   mixture   of   first   and   second   charges,   have   always been   secured   on   prime   UK   residential   and   commercial   property,   over loan terms of three to twenty-four months, occasionally longer. We   are   proud   patron   members   of   two   of   the   UK’s   major   trade   bodies for    the    lending    industry,    The    ASTL    (  www.theastl.org  )    &    The    NACFB (  www.nacfb.org.uk  ),   with   close   and   collaborative      relationships   with both   at   CEO   level.   Indeed,   one   of   our   team   currently   sits   as   an   acting board   member   of   the   ASTL.   The   strength   of   our   relationships   with both    Associations    help    us    influence    and    guide    standards    and    the shape of our industry. Whilst   we   lend   in   the   unregulated   business   lending   sector   by   choice, we   have   an   extensive   range   of   regulatory   and   compliance   knowledge. Furthermore,   we   retain   the   services   of   arguably   the   industry’s   most respected   compliance   consultants.   We   apply   a   very   simple   business ethos    of    “lending    money    as    if    it    were    our    own”    and    always    work vigorously to protect our investors interests.  To   learn   more   about   the   opportunity   of   working   with   us   on   what   has been   an   incredible   and   exciting   journey   to   date,   please   submit   your details   below   and   one   of   my   team   will   organise   a   personal   call   in   the first instance. For   more   information   and   a   confidential   discussion   on   working with us please contact me personally in the first instance. John Clifford BSc.
