Shawbrook Supports Hope Capital's Continued Expansion with Second Funding Boost
This latest funding extension will accommodate higher demand for the lender's services.
We’ve extended our funding facility for specialist short-term lender, Hope Capital, following another period of impressive growth.
This marks the second increase in less than a year and reflects the strong, long-standing relationship between our teams and the clear momentum within Hope Capital’s business. The enhanced facility will provide additional firepower as they continue to scale and expand their product range.
Shawbrook first partnered with Hope Capital in 2022, structuring a £15 million committed facility to support their ambitious plans in the bridging market. That facility was increased in late 2024 and, with demand for their products continuing to rise, we have now agreed a further uplift.
A track record of growth
Hope Capital has seen significant growth in both enquiries and completions, and is on course for a record year. Our funding has helped support that journey, giving the lender the flexibility to respond quickly to market demand and explore new product innovation.
We’re extremely proud to have maintained a strong partnership with the team at Shawbrook Bank for nearly two years now and are grateful for their continued support. Securing a new funding facility once again is a significant and exciting milestone, expanding the scope of what we can achieve as a lender in the short-term market. Our diversified funding structure remains a critical component in delivering certainty to our growing network of brokers and borrowers, while maintaining the high service standards we are known for.
Backed by specialist funding expertise
Our dedicated Speciality Finance team worked closely with Hope Capital to deliver a facility tailored to their evolving needs. The transaction underscores Shawbrook’s ability to provide more than just capital – we bring structuring expertise and sector knowledge that enables ambitious lenders to unlock growth.
Warren Mutch, Head of Speciality Finance at Shawbrook, commented:
“Since initially delivering a funding line for Hope Capital back in 2022, we have seen the business grow substantially and maintained our support with a facility top-up late last year. Kate and the team at Hope are now looking to move to their next stage of growth with new products and we are delighted to continue supporting them on their journey.”
The increased funding line sits alongside Hope Capital’s existing arrangements with other funding partners, including Triple Point and a network of High-Net-Worth investors.
