The Opportunity
Red Kite Lending is an exciting early-stage bridging finance lender, providing tailored lending solutions to property investors and developers, with a high focus on flexibility, innovation, and ultimate transparency.
Products range from complex heavy refurbishment facilities to simple bridging for auction purchases. Lending is fuelled through a mixture of private capital and multiple institutional bank funders.
The organisational model of the business is a flat structure, with direct exposure to the executive management team and founders, keen to empower employees to make decisions and take ownership of their clients and transactions from cradle to grave – whilst also giving the opportunity to own part of a fast-growing business.
