Development financing and re-financing
We can advise clients on the use of development finance as a means to fund any part of a development and infrastructure project, whatever the scale; from purchasing a site to construction, refurbishment or helping finance the final phases.

Sale and leaseback
A sale and leaseback is a transaction that enables you raise capital by selling a property, then leasing that that asset back from the purchaser. This can be a good way to cash in on your property but retain use of the asset for your business purposes. We can structure sale and leaseback agreements for our clients and advise on their suitability according to your sector and the particular circumstances of your business.
Bridging finance
Used correctly, a bridging loan may serve as a strategic interim financing option until a long-term financing option is finalised or provide a necessary short-term cash injection at a strategic point in a project. We have the industry experience and legal know-how to advise clients on the best routes to securing advantageous bridging finance, working with borrowers and a selection of appropriate lenders and structuring the right deal.
