Property developers across Lincolnshire can now source funding for their commercial projects as part of a new service to support ambitious regeneration and economic growth plans across the region.
Grantham-based Clever Lending is providing finance solutions for property developments of any size – along with expertise in presenting robust business plans to lenders.
Its commercial lending experts are working with developers to secure funding for plans to enhance the local area, such as residential and commercial developments, land or building acquisition, office conversions, leisure complexes and care homes.
Driving the launch is Emma Tempest who’s joined Clever Lending as National Commercial Manager. She brings along two decades’ experience in financial services, during which time she set up and grew an independent brokerage and developed her own portfolio of properties.
Emma said: “It’s vital property developers have access to reliable and consistent support, advice and funding, which assists them in delivering their plans. We’re now here to not only source finance for landowners and developers, but also provide guidance on planning queries, knowledge on property markets and assistance in producing effective business plans to secure required funding.”
Jon Hinde, head of economy and skills at InvestSK, South Kesteven’s economic growth company, said: “I meet regularly with businesses that want to stay and grow in South Kesteven, and new companies looking to move into the area.
“InvestSK’s job is to make it as easy as possible for them to meet their growth ambitions by helping to identify and fulfil their land, property, finance and skills requirements.
“We welcome initiatives that boost the district’s commercial ecosystem and look forward to Clever Lending’s new service becoming a key part of the business support and funding network in South Kesteven.”
Emma continued: “Lincolnshire has become a hot spot for development in the UK and we’re delighted to be offering funding to allow ambitious residential and commercial plans come to fruition.”
