The short-term lending market is extremely valuable (c. £4.5bn) but plagued with issues, such as high fees, unapproachable lending teams, a lack of transparency, and questionable ‘loan-to-own’ approaches. In 2018, Guy Harrington decided to tackle these problems with a new company: Glenhawk (as featured in Startups 100 2019).<\/p>\n

And boy did Glenhawk disrupt the market. The firm prides itself on being an ethical presence within a rather famously unethical industry, determined to combat all the problems that borrowers typically face. Most impressively, in April 2019 Glenhawk became the first<\/i> bridging lender to launch a free valuation offering, as well as charging zero admin or exit fees.<\/p>\n

This friendly approach to the bridging loan market went down a storm. Within 2019, the firm generated over £1.4bn of loan enquiries, and passed £100m of lending. What’s more, massive US bank J.P. Morgan has got involved, pledging to support Glenhawk’s new senior funding line.<\/p>\n

If all goes to plan, Glenhawk will enter the homeowner mortgage market this year, and by the end of 2021, the company aims to have a UK loan book worth £200m. This support from J.P. Morgan is a big<\/i> string to their bow.<\/p>\n

Glenhawk is a true champion of transparency and fairness, and we’re all for it.<\/p>\n
