Positive Solutions has appointed Brightstar Financial as partner of choice for its IFA Partners.

IFA Partners wishing to place clients for specialist first charge mortgages, secured loans, bridging finance and commercial funding, now have access to Brightstar’s bespoke service for specialist lending.

Rob Jupp, managing director at Brightstar Financial, said: “To say that we are delighted to become a lending partner for Positive Solutions would be an understatement.

“For Brightstar, which has been operating for little over one year, this is a massive vote of confidence in the quality of the team we have built here, all of whom bring many years of experience in the lending industry to assisting brokers with complicated and complex cases.

“We are looking forward to working with Positive Solutions’ IFA Partners and helping them with their enquiries. Too many first rate clients are falling outside the narrow underwriting parameters, which mainstream lenders are now adopting. Brightstar stands as a crucial hub of specialist expertise for professional advisers looking to place these difficult cases.”

Andy Bell, mortgage and general insurance manager from Positive Solutions, said: “Positive Solutions believes in providing our Partners with first class service, market leading technology and outstanding technical support.

“We were immediately impressed with the quality and experience demonstrated by the team at Brightstar Financial and consider the specialist expertise they can offer our IFA Partners a perfect fit.”
