\nAcquisition Establishes Dedicated UK Bridging Loan Origination Platform, Expanding Balbec's European Real Estate Capabilities<\/i><\/p>

NEW YORK & LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Balbec Capital LP (\u201cBalbec\u201d), a global alternative investment manager specialising in asset-based credit and real estate strategies, announced the acquisition of Funding 365 Limited (\u201cFunding 365\u201d), a UK-based specialist property lender. The transaction encompasses the acquisition of the Funding 365 origination platform and its existing loan portfolio, along with newly originated loans.<\/p>

\nFounded in 2013, Funding 365 is a recognised name in the UK bridging finance market, focused on short-term, first-charge bridging loans to UK individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises. The company markets itself as \u201cFast Property Finance,\u201d offering same-day credit terms and rapid loan execution, and has originated over 1,700 loans since inception.<\/p>

\nThe acquisition will allow Funding 365 to enhance its offering of highly competitive, first charge bridging, development and specialist buy to let loans. The Funding 365 management team, including Managing Director and co-founder Michael Strange and Director Paul Weitzkorn, will remain with the business and continue to lead day-to-day operations under Balbec's ownership.<\/p>

\n\u201cThis acquisition represents a compelling opportunity to re-enter the UK bridging market alongside a well-established platform and an experienced management team with an excellent credit track record,\u201d said Ryan Singer, Partner and Head of Residential Credit at Balbec. \u201cOwning an origination and servicing platform is essential to effectively access the UK specialist lending market at scale, and provides us with greater control over underwriting standards and asset selection and management. We are thrilled to expand our European real estate capabilities and to support Michael, Paul, and the entire Funding 365 team as they embark on their next phase of growth.\u201d<\/p>

\nThe acquisition aligns with Balbec's strategy of building durable, recurring investment pipelines by bolstering origination capabilities in attractive UK credit markets. Bridging finance in the UK offers strong risk-adjusted returns underpinned by low loan-to-value underwriting, and Balbec intends to deploy capital through Funding 365 for its diverse global investment funds.<\/p>

\n\u201cJoining forces with Balbec marks an exciting new chapter for Funding 365,\u201d said Michael Strange. \u201cThe Balbec team\u2019s deep credit expertise, institutional infrastructure and financing relationships, and technological capabilities will enable us to develop new products, grow our origination volumes, and serve our broker partners and borrowers even more effectively. We look forward to building on our track record together with a partner that shares our commitment to disciplined underwriting, product excellence, and exceptional service.\u201d<\/p>

\nInterpath Ltd acted as sole financial advisor to Funding 365, alongside TLT LLP as legal and tax advisor, while Pinsent Masons LLP acted as legal advisor and BDO LLP acted as financial due diligence and tax advisors to Balbec.<\/p>

\nFinancial terms of the transaction are not being disclosed.<\/p>
