How Rental Income Factoring Works
- 01
Step 1: Connect & Verify
Provide your active tenancy agreement (AST or commercial lease) and connect your rental account via secure Open Banking. No paperwork, historical accounts, or physical document packs required.
- 02
Step 2: Instant Affordability & Offer
Funding is underwritten against your verifiable net rental flow—not physical property equity. We assess the contracted rental stream and issue terms within hours.
- 03
Step 3: Same-Day Capital Release
Draw down up to 12 months of rental income upfront directly to your bank account. Repayments are simply serviced monthly from your ongoing tenant receipts.
Why Landlords Choose Rent Factoring Over Secured Debt
Traditional bridging and second-charge loans take weeks and rack up thousands in legal and valuation fees. Rent factoring delivers working capital without touching your title deeds.

Rent Factoring FAQs
Does rent factoring require permission from my mortgage lender?
No. Because rent factoring is an unsecured business advance supported by a personal guarantee—with no legal charge registered against your property title deeds—it does not require consent from your first or second charge mortgagees.
Can I factor rent across multiple properties in my portfolio?
Yes. Multiple residential and commercial rental streams can be combined under a single facility up to the maximum borrower threshold of £75,000.
What happens if my tenant pays late?
The facility repayment is serviced via direct debit from your designated business account. Short delays from tenants are managed through standard grace periods, but maintaining communication with our underwriting team ensures accounts remain fully supported.
Can I use rent factoring alongside an active bridging loan?
Yes. Rent factoring is frequently deployed alongside bridging finance to top up capital when a bridge lender down-values a property or when emergency capital is needed to finish a conversion before exiting onto long-term finance.
