NOTES
Bridging facilities are designed as short term borrowing to enable transactions to be completed or to allow time for uncertain business trading conditions to be stabilized
As a short-term facility there is inevitably a higher element of risk
As a result the cost of such loans is high and all other options should be considered before taking a bridging advance
