Lending Bridge secures £5m funding from Renaissance Asset Finance

Lending Bridge has announced a £5 million strategic funding partnership with Renaissance Asset Finance (RAF), a subsidiary of Arbuthnot Latham, a private and commercial bank specialising in wealth management and specialist lending services.

Founded in 2023 by Balraj Sohal and Joga Khangure, two seasoned property investors, Lending Bridge focuses on bridging finance, real estate investment, and emerging ventures that drive sustainable growth. The business has already achieved success by funding and scaling operations using its own capital, following the founders’ successful exit from a leading medical recruitment firm in 2022.

The £5m block discounting facility provided by RAF marks a milestone in Lending Bridge’s growth journey, enabling the company to expand its loan book and enhance its ability to deliver flexible, tailored lending solutions.

Sim Sangha, Finance Director at Lending Bridge, commented: “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,” he added.

Duncan Childs, Director – Wholesale Finance at RAF, 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.”
