Pivot joins ASTL

Pivot has become the latest lender to join the Association of Short Term Lenders.

Thespecialist lender provides bridging and development finance secured against residential and commercial properties on a first and second charge basis.

Benson Hersch (pictured), CEO of the ASTL, said:“Pivot is a welcome addition to our membership, bringing with it a wealth of experience, especially with those investing in property. Working in the non-regulated sector they are intent on ensuring standards are in keeping with the regulated market.”

Shahil Kotecha, CEO of Pivot, added: “Since Pivot was incorporated in 2012, we have developed strong relationships with a handful of brokers, but it is now time to show the rest of the market what we can offer. Our aim is to provide our clients with finance to enable them to progress with their projects and we work alongside our brokers to help deliver innovative solutions to do this.

“Bridging and short-term lending has earned its place in today’s market. We want to be part of an organisation that is constantly working to improve both behaviour and image in short-term lending. As a member of the ASTL we hope to hold Pivot up as an example of what good looks like, whilst putting ourselves in front of the people that matter.”
