Finance · Bridging finance

Move quickly.
Keep control of the exit.

Short-term, unregulated property finance for acquisitions, refinances and situations where timing matters.

The Wentworth view

A bridge is only as strong as the plan beyond it.

Bridging finance can provide speed and flexibility where a conventional term loan cannot. The structure depends on the asset, leverage, use of funds and time available.

We pressure-test the exit first, then approach lenders whose appetite and execution record fit the transaction.

This service is limited to unregulated, business-purpose property finance.
