Lendinvest Partners With British Business Bank in Landmark Deal to Support the Building of More Homes, Financed by HSBC
LendInvest, the UK’s leading asset manager for property finance, announces a partnership with the British Business Bank to help finance smaller property developers provide more homes across the UK.
