Bradford FAQs
Common questions about private finance in Bradford
Can the loan be in a trust or corporate name?+
Yes — both structures are routine. The right wrapper depends on tax, succession and confidentiality objectives.
What qualifies as private finance?+
Bespoke lending arranged through private banks, family offices or HNW capital providers — typically for clients whose situation doesn't fit retail criteria, or who require discretion.
What is asset-backed lending?+
Lending secured against specific assets (equity holdings, art, property, even commodities) rather than income. Useful for low-income, high-wealth borrowers.
What about second-charge private lending?+
Available for the right deal — typically against high-value residential security.
What loan sizes does private finance suit?+
Generally £250k upwards, with no real upper limit. The ratio of complexity to size matters more than size alone.
Will I need a personal guarantee?+
Often yes, but structure varies — sometimes secured cleanly, sometimes alongside corporate or trust borrowers.
