The Financial Intermediary & Broker Association (FIBA) has announced that Crystal Property Finance has been appointed as its latest lender partner.

Catalyst was established in 2017 and offers a range of short-term unregulated finance options.

It provides flexible short-term finance solutions for property professionals, investors and developers operating in the bridging, refurbishment, development exit, ground-up development and auction purchase markets.

Chair at FIBA, Martin Reynolds, said the Catalyst team has a "well-defined commitment to broker support" and is keen to create products that match the market’s wants and needs.

He added: "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."

Sales director at Catalyst Property Finance, Spencer Gale, concluded: "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.

"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. Catalyst’s mission is “We’re here to make sure you never miss a good opportunity”, and our 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."
