Hope Capital has secured a new funding facility delivering up to £25m from Shawbrook Bank.

This multi-million-pound facility is the latest funding line acquired by the lender and will be key in supporting Hope Capital’s plans as it looks to develop its proposition and achieve further growth.

Kate Cowan (pictured), chief financial officer at Hope Capital, commented: “The provision of this new funding is extremely well timed to support our growth plans. We’re now in an even better position to help our brokers and borrowers who are looking for tailored bridging loans, which sets us up ideally as we look to our strategy for 2024.”

Hope Capital recently announced it had achieved another company record, with Q3 confirmed as the lender’s most successful quarter to date since it was established in 2011. In addition, it reported a 100% increase in loan book versus 2022 Q3, and 19% increase in the loan book versus 2023 Q2.

Cowan continued: “We’re experiencing an extremely successful period, with significant growth in enquiries and completions. To have Shawbrook join our funding panel will be instrumental and we’re very grateful to their team for this fantastic opportunity.”

Warren Mutch, head of speciality finance at Shawbrook, said: “We’re delighted to be supporting Jonathan, Kate and the team at Hope. The business is highly regarded in its market and well positioned for growth, and our committed funding line is targeted to support them into 2024 and beyond.”
