Why an RCF beats traditional bridging

One facility, repeatable deals, interest on what you use

Serial refurbishers and auction buyers pay for capital only while it is deployed, instead of funding an idle loan balance.

01

Interest ONLY on Drawn Funds

If you hold a £500,000 facility but only draw £100,000 for 30 days, you pay interest on £100,000 — not the full limit.

02

Reusable Rolling Facility

Repay your balance on sale or refinance and your credit limit instantly becomes available again for the next deal.

03

Move Like a Cash Buyer

No fresh underwriting on every purchase. Win auction lots and below-market opportunities in as little as 48 hours.

04

Single Setup Cost

Avoid paying separate legal, arrangement and valuation fees on every individual small project.
