Millbrook Business Finance has launched a new commercial property finance division, widening its services for small and medium-sized enterprises to include property funding alongside its existing business finance offering.

The Northampton-based brokerage, founded in 2020, will now provide clients with access to commercial property finance, bridging loans, buy-to-let mortgages and development finance.

This is designed to complement its existing panel of more than 100 lenders and builds on Millbrook’s reputation for providing tailored funding solutions to SMEs.

The new division will support businesses looking to purchase or expand premises, investors seeking to grow their property portfolios, and developers requiring flexible finance to complete construction projects.

Bridging finance will also be available for short-term funding needs, such as auction purchases, refurbishments and conversions.

Stuart Benge (pictured), head of commercial property finance at Millbrook Business Finance, said: “By now offering commercial property finance, we can support our SME clients across all areas of business finance and help provide flexible funding solutions: from the acquisition of trading premises to maximising the earning potential from current property assets right through to helping solve the UK housing crisis.

“As a natural extension to Millbrook’s proposition, this will cement our position as a leading business finance broker with SMEs.”

Justin Amos, managing director, added: “Launching into commercial property finance was always on our radar and so I am delighted to now add this to our range of services.

“This year marks our fifth anniversary as a business and so offering commercial property finance is a significant step on our growth. We look forward to helping SME clients with all their business and property finance needs.”
