What is a Short-term Bridging Loan?

Short-term bridging loans are short-term loans backed against properties or assets that are used to bridge the gap in capital shortage before long-term funding can be negotiated.

Short-term bridging loans are ideal for businesses, investors, developers and homeowners who quickly need cash in the short-term to meet project funding until they can sell a property or raise the cash from somewhere else.

The secret to short-term lending performance is ensuring a successful exit plan is securely in place before applying.

Can you get an Unsecured Short-term Bridging Loan?

Sure, you can. Unsecured bridging loans are more difficult to get hold of because lenders usually insist on protecting the debt against some form of property or asset. Unsecured loans can, however, can be given to those with a decent or, better still, excellent credit score. This is because as an unsecured loan, the burden is greater for the lender, because it is not backed by any guarantees. If you need an unsecured bridging loan and have an excellent credit record, we may be able to work out something for you. Why not get in touch to explore the options available to you.

Short-term Bridging Loans for your Short-term Finance Needs

A short-term bridging loan is a short-term lending product primarily designed for borrowers who need immediate cash for a limited amount of time and have a well specified exit path, i.e. a secure way of repaying the debt before the end of the loan term.

When you need a fast fund for one or another initiative and you have a clear and viable repayment plan in place, we might be able to provide you with a loan package suited to your closed finance needs. Get in touch to discuss more.

Why use Short-term Bridging Finance?

The property market can change very quickly, and opportunities can expire within a few days.

Where such opportunities come on the market, only investors and developers that have access to ready cash will be able to take advantage of them. This is why it’s crucial to have the correct financing available to you first.

Apart from property business, a time may come when you need extra capital to handle non-property transactions in your business.

Who are Short-term Bridging Loans for?

In general, short-term bridging loans are targeted at homeowners and property developers who wish to purchase, build or renovate a home; however, a lender’s focus is more on the situation than on the borrower himself.

If you are looking for an immediate cash injection and you have a proven strong, secure credit background, property with sufficient equity and a viable repayment plan, a short-term bridging loan may be just what you need.

Short-term bridging loans can allow business owners make strategic acquisitions, acquire properties, or make other useful purchases.

Borrowing in this fashion can often be an ideal solution for a small or medium sized business., helping to bridge the gap between cash-flow problems and when a cash infusion is expected from one source or the other.

Bridging loan lenders can lend in cases where more conventional lenders will not, and can offer loans in a much quicker time span if it needs a fast completion, as long as all the criteria are met.

That way, your business can easily collect the cash it wants, and you don’t miss a decent sales opportunity or suffer from business interruption.

But this is not always easy. Which is why you need an expert bridging loans broker such as Fast Forward Finance. We can explore all the available rates in the market to find the one that best suits your circumstances.

What’s the Typical Interest Rate for a Short-term Bridging Loan?

The bridging loan rate is the interest charged while the loan is outstanding. The rate can be determined by many factors such as whether the bridging loan is closed or open, secured or unsecured, and so on.
