Lender Classification

Bank-Backed

Regulated banks and their trading names — typically lowest rates, widest criteria, strong compliance.

Principal Lender

Equity-funded non-bank lenders with their own balance sheet — fast decisions, creative structuring.

Private Capital

HNW and family-office backed — flexible on unusual assets, adverse credit, and non-standard borrowers.

P2P / Marketplace

Peer-to-peer platforms with retail and institutional funding — often transparent rates.

Specialist

Niche lenders focusing on specific geographies, sectors or borrower profiles.

Panel Intelligence

Know where to look before you ask.

Speed Leaders

Goldcrest Finance and Inhale Capital can complete within 48 hours. Octane Capital and MT Finance regularly fund inside a week.

High LTV

LendInvest offers up to 85% LTV. Catalyst Property Finance stretches to 80% on the right asset. Most lenders cap at 70–75%.

Foreign Nationals

Octane Capital (Aldermore) explicitly markets to foreign nationals, ex-pats, offshore companies, LLPs and trusts. Together also accepts foreign nationals.

Small Loans

Together starts from £26,000 — the lowest minimum on the panel. United Trust Bank and Precise Mortgages both start from £50,000.

Large Deals

LendInvest lends up to £30m. United Trust Bank and Hampshire Trust Bank reach £15m and £25m respectively.
