Financial Reporter spoke to Gavin Diamond, founder and CEO at Inspired Lending, about why bridging finance is moving from last resort to first step, how borrower behaviour is changing, and why clear exits and regular conversations are now the real test of a good deal.

‘I think advisers should see bridging as a liquidity tool that gives clients more control over timing and outcomes. It is still short-term debt and it still needs careful handling, but when you start with “What is the client trying to achieve over the next twelve to twenty-four months?” rather than “Can we plug a gap by Friday?”, you tend to get better structures and ultimately, better exits.’
