TFC Homeloans has expanded its bridging and commercial lender panel to include Shawbrook Bank.

The pair have already established a successful relationship in the second charge loan area, but now they want to broaden their partnership to lend in other areas.

Andrew Brown, managing partner of TFC Homeloans, said: “We receive many enquiries where brokers struggle to raise capital for their clients due to difficulties arranging finance on commercial properties, such as hotels, guest houses and pubs.

“Shawbrook Bank offers a specific product range which sets them apart from other lenders to address this need.

“We have listened to our brokers and are excited that we are now able to fulfil these requests with a great range of flexible lending solutions.

“The market for commercial finance and short term loans continues to grow and we are delighted that Shawbrook have chosen us as one of their packaging partners to distribute this fantastic range of products.”

Karen Bennett, sales and marketing director of commercial mortgages at Shawbrook Bank, added: “Intermediaries like TFC Homeloans are critical for us as they ensure that we receive a high quality funding application that can ease the way to a deal.

“We are delighted that our products are now available to an even wider array of UK small businesses looking to fund commercial property.

“We look forward to working more closely with TFC and its clients.”
