overview

Over the last several years, we have arranged and invested in over £500m lending transactions across a variety of sectors.

We are a solutions-driven lender, that aligns with our clients by investing our own capital. The approach underpins a partnership-led investment strategy, focused on achieving mutual goals.

We offer a range of financing solutions for corporate entities and sponsors including senior debt, mezzanine finance and preferred equity. Our solutions are highly flexible and are tailored to meet the needs of each partner, with capital provided on either a standalone or integrated basis.
