Finova has added Pauzible to its payments lender panel.

The partnership will give over 550 intermediary members access to Pauzible’s five-year equity financing solution, which has been designed to complement traditional buy-to-let (BTL) mortgages.

Pauzible’s Equity Partnership Agreement (EPA), which launched last year, offers a performance-based model that allows landlords to unlock a portion of their property’s value.

The capital can be used for a range of business purposes including property renovations and energy efficiency upgrades to deposits for expanding portfolios.

Finova commercial director Matt Harrison says: “Pauzible’s unique model offers a compelling alternative for landlords looking to optimise their portfolios without taking on more traditional debt. We’re excited to welcome them to the panel and support their growth through our platform.”

Pauzible chief marketing officer Aivanna Maraea adds: “Our partnership with Finova is a key milestone in Pauzible’s mission to reshape how landlords fund and grow their property portfolios. Finova’s trusted position in the intermediary market and commitment to innovation make them an ideal partner.”

Last month, Finova hired Hamza Behzad as business development director.
