Hope Capital becomes newest member of ASTL

Hope Capital, which began trading in 2011, provides funds of up to £500k, for a term of up to six months, to entrepreneurial businesses and residential clients. Since its launch Hope Capital has been establishing itself within the bridging market and now works with a broad base of brokers and other partners to offer quick and flexible funding.

The addition of Hope Capital takes the number of full ASTL members to 23, with associate members now totalling twelve.

Benson Hersch, chief executive of the ASTL says:

“Increasing the ASTL membership raises our influence with the FCA as the association continues to represent responsible bridging lenders. Hope Capital is another welcome addition to the growing ASTL ranks.  As a fairly new entrant into the bridging market it has set out on the path of transparency which is in line with the association’s charter, and we look forward to its input.”
