Lending Bridge has announced a £5m strategic partnership with Renaissance Asset Finance (RAF), a subsidiary of Arbuthnot Latham.
Birmingham-based Lending Bridge was founded in 2023 by Balraj Sohal and Joga Khangure.
Renaissance Asset Finance’s £5m block discounting facility creates a funding line that will support the next stage of Lending Bridge’s growth.
Sim Sangha, finance director at Lending Bridge, said: “Securing this facility marks a significant milestone for Lending Bridge. Having built our loan book from the ground up using our own capital, partnering with Renaissance Asset Finance gives us the scale to accelerate our growth while maintaining the speed, flexibility, and personal service our brokers and borrowers rely on. I’d like to thank Duncan Childs and his team at RAF for their trust and support - this partnership is not just about additional funding, it’s about working with a team that shares our vision for delivering tailored, well-structured lending solutions.”
Duncan Childs, director of wholesale finance at Renaissance Asset Finance, added: “RAF is delighted to provide the Group’s first institutional facility to support the next stage of its growth, having built an impressive book from a standing start. Working with Sim, Balraj, and Joga, it’s clear the management team has a sharp eye for both risk and opportunity. Combined with their local knowledge and diligence, this creates a unique lending proposition. Their ambition and commitment have been key to the relationship we’ve developed, and their continued investment in staff and systems provides a strong platform for growth—one that our facility is proud to support.”
