Dantis Capital doubles funding line with Renaissance Asset Finance

Dantis Capital, the asset-backed property lender, has doubled the size of its funding line with Renaissance Asset Finance (RAF), increasing its Block Discounting Facility from £2 million to £4 million with immediate effect, as it looks to accelerate the growth of its lending activities across the UK property market.

The expanded facility will sit alongside Dantis Capital’s existing pool of private investors and provide additional firepower to scale its loan book. The funding will support continued growth across residential, mixed-use and commercial property lending, enabling the firm to back a greater number of development and corporate finance projects.

Founded to deliver fast, flexible and bespoke property finance, Dantis Capital specialises in bridging loans, property development funding and corporate finance. Through its proprietary technology platform, the company streamlines the lending process for developers and corporate borrowers, aiming to combine speed with disciplined underwriting.

Dantis Capital has worked with Renaissance Asset Finance since 2023. RAF is the asset finance subsidiary of Arbuthnot Latham, the UK private and commercial bank established in 1833, and is known for providing nationwide funding facilities to high-growth SMEs in the alternative finance sector.

Russell Young, co-founder of Dantis Capital, said the expanded facility marked an important step in the company’s growth journey.

“We are delighted to strengthen our relationship with Renaissance Asset Finance, whose unwavering support over the past two years reflects a shared vision and commitment to innovation and responsible lending,” he said.

“Doubling this facility not only provides us with additional capacity to accelerate our growth but also represents a strong endorsement of our strategy and the progress we have made as a business. We look forward to leveraging this funding to deliver more value to our clients, supporting a greater number of development projects and driving growth across the UK property sector.”

Renaissance Asset Finance said its decision to increase the funding line was driven by Dantis Capital’s strong track record, disciplined underwriting, innovative use of technology and experienced leadership team. The expanded facility also reflects RAF’s confidence in Dantis Capital’s ability to scale within the alternative finance market.

Duncan Childs, Director of Wholesale Finance at Renaissance Asset Finance, said: “We have been working with Dantis since the beginning of their lending journey, and we are proud to expand our relationship.

“Their steady approach, combined with their use of technology, gives us real confidence in the direction of the business. We look forward to supporting their continued growth across the property sector.”
