Bridging Loans: Using bridging finance to help stay on top of credit & loan payments

Using bridging finance to help stay on top

Do you have clients who want a short term reduction in their credit outgoings? Often borrowers look to bridging finance to pay off expensive credit and give them a breathing space whilst they wait for a cash lump sum to mature. Perhaps they are selling up, awaiting a pension payout or a great business deal but need to improve the cash flow now and pay for it later?

A traditional bridging loan might be the answer

We often get requests for a bridging loan for consolidation purposes where someone has run up a lot of credit and they can’t get a remortgage or loan due to affordability or credit problems. Typically the borrower has an exit such as a property sale or inheritance but they want to take the financial pressure off now and consolidate all of the credit – for instance where older people are downsizing.

Paying off all of the credit with a bridging loan is an option and subject to equity there may be an option to roll up the repayments so there is nothing to pay until the loan is paid off. Sounds great – No repayments to be made and pay everything off in a lump sum when the exit/sale matures. Whilst this will give your client a short term relief, this option is very dependent on equity and will incur fees which are proportional to the amount borrowed.

This alternative approach could be much easier and more cost effective

Your clients could just borrow enough to service the outgoings on the credit until the proposed exit. The loans or credit cards they wanted to consolidate can remain in place. This could mean rather than a bridging loan of £40,000 plus interest to pay off and service all the credit, your client may only need a small bridging loan of circa £5000 just the meet the repayments for 6 – 12 months. This loan may be easier to place as equity is less critical. Also the fees and interest payments will be less, especially if the existing credit is on a better interest rate.
