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.

The ENABLE Guarantee programme is designed to encourage lenders to increase their advances to smaller businesses. Under an ENABLE Guarantee, the UK Government takes on a portion of the risk on a portfolio of loans to smaller businesses, in return for a fee.
LendInvest has more than £3.6 billion of funds under management, providing investors with opportunities to gain exposure to the UK property finance market.
