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    longstanding    legal    partners    in London,   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. 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   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.    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,   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,    please submit    your    details    below    and    one    of    my    team    will    organise    a personal call in the first instance.
