A bridging loan is a short-term financing option used to “bridge the gap” between two financial transactions. It is ideal for businesses looking to:

  • Secure property quickly

  • Seize time-sensitive investment opportunities

  • Manage temporary cash flow shortfalls

Unlike traditional mortgages, bridging finance is faster, more flexible, and tailored to urgent needs.

Mallard Bridging offers loans strictly for business purposes only. This includes:

  • Property developers
