BRIDGING FINANCE

The corporate finance division of the TCS Group can assist and advise clients on all aspects of bridging finance. Bridging finance is short term funding. There are two types of bridging finance, open bridging and closed bridging. Open bridging is where the purchase of an asset has been funded without a specific period of time in which the asset will be sold and the borrowing repaid, lenders regard this as more high risk and consequently interest rates are higher. Closed bridging is where finance is raised on an asset where the exit date is known and the finance can be repaid, lenders regard this as a safer form of lending and this is reflected in the interest rates.
