MS Lending Group has announced it has secured a £230 million funding line with Pollen Street Capital upsizing its existing facility with the London-based alternative investment firm.

The new funding line marks the latest milestone in a relationship between the two parties that began in 2022, and underscores Pollen Street’s continued confidence in MSLG’s growth trajectory and lending model.

Since launching in 2021, MS Lending Group has lent more than £600 million, establishing itself as a respected, fast-growing player in the specialist lending market built on a distinctive combination of innovative products, exceptional people, and a relentless focus on service.

The upsized facility comes at a time when many lenders across the sector are facing a more challenging funding environment, making Pollen Street’s expanded commitment a clear vote of confidence in MSLG’s platform, performance and management team.

Michael Stratton, CEO & Founder, MS Lending Group: “Securing this facility with Pollen Street is a significant milestone for MS Lending Group. Since we began working together in 2022, Pollen Street has been more than a funding provider, they have been a genuine partner in our growth. This £230 million line gives us the firepower to continue supporting our borrowers and scaling the business, and it’s a real testament to the strength of what we’ve built together over the last four years.”

James Bevans, Partner, Pollen Street Capital added: “Our relationship with MS Lending Group dates back to 2022, and over that time we have seen first-hand the ambition and quality of execution that the team bring to this business. Their commitment to building a sustainable lending platform, quality of service and a focus on underwriting is exactly what we look for in a partner, and this upsized facility reflects what MS has built over this time and allows the business to continue to grow at pace. The successes at MS Lending and this new upsize in our facility demonstrates our ambition to be a funding partner for growth, supporting our borrowers to achieve their goals. At a time when the real estate lending sector is navigating a more challenging period, we are pleased to demonstrate our continued support to MS and the sector through this increased facility.”
