Leverage owner occupier opportunities

If you’re looking at ways your clients can move into ownership, the experts at InterBay are well-placed to deal with complexity.

We’re committed to supporting SMEs with their expansion and we know every business is different, which is why we look at each loan on its own merits when reviewing cases. 
 
Own it with InterBay
  • Extensive owner-occ expertise
  • A market-leading service for brokers and their clients 
  • Focused on finding funding solutions

Asset classes

We support a variety of asset classes, from florists to children’s nurseries, distribution warehouses and small retail units. And when it comes to SMEs, we know the market, have clear criteria and our team of experts work closely with brokers to help borrowers secure the funding they need.

For instance, when reviewing cases, we:

  • use the last two years’ finalised accounts so we see three years’ worth of figures;
  • look at the performance of the business, the experience of the owners and the specifics of the property;
  • aim to meet with the borrowers directly for loans over £4m, so that we can fully understand their background and plans.
