FIBA said the partnership will support its focus on broker education and access to specialist lending solutions during a period of market uncertainty

The Financial Intermediary & Broker Association (FIBA) has appointed Catalyst Property Finance as its latest lender partner.

Catalyst, established in 2017, provides short-term, unregulated finance solutions for property professionals, investors and developers, including bridging, refurbishment, development exit, ground-up development and auction purchase funding.

FIBA said the partnership will support its focus on broker education and access to specialist lending solutions during a period of market uncertainty.

Martin Reynolds, chair at FIBA, said: The team at Catalyst has a well-defined commitment to broker support and is keen to create products and services that really meet what the market, brokers, and clients want and need.

They are excited to work with FIBA members to help drive training and education across the sector and provide support that advisers need at a time of uncertainty. I look forward to working with them at events and Committee meetings, he said.

Catalyst’s aim for FIBA members is to build long-term relationships by offering speed, clarity and funding structures that enable brokers to deliver real value to their clients.

Spencer Gale, sales director at Catalyst Property Finance, said: Partnering with FIBA is a positive move for Catalyst as we continue to expand our reach within the professional intermediary market.

FIBA is widely recognised for its commitment to high standards, and we are pleased to align ourselves with an association that shares our dedication to professionalism and transparency, he said.

We look forward to providing FIBA members with access to our specialist short-term lending suite, with a particular focus on our bridging, refurbishment, and development finance range, he added.
