Just under half of the total figure (£99m) was originated in the 12 months to the end of June 2022 — representing a 252% year-on-year increase compared to the previous period.

Throughout its six-year lending history, CapitalRise has had zero investment defaults or losses.

The firm is looking to build on this momentum by continuing to diversify and deepen its funding lines, as well as expand its team.

CapitalRise has recently closed new institutional funding lines — including a £20m one secured in October — and is expecting to welcome a number of new hires to its origination, credit, product, and marketing divisions.

Uma Rajah, CEO and co-founder of CapitalRise (pictured above), said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have reached this milestone. 

“As a debt provider with deep expertise in this specialist area, we understand the market well and appreciate its resilience in uncertain times. 

“By lending prudently to high-quality borrowers on great schemes in desirable areas, such as Chelsea and Mayfair, we have managed to grow the business considerably.

“At CapitalRise we consider each project on its own individual merits and avoid making blanket decisions — with this careful approach, we have been able to build a strong-performing loan book that we manage proactively and in close collaboration with our borrowers.

“With our depth of expertise, the resilience of the prime central London market, and our responsible approach to projects, we see the current market as a time of great opportunity for us, and we are confident that our business will continue on its current growth trajectory.”
