The move means the firm will form a new business arm in the Impact Capital Group and will provide financing solutions to external developers, including a unique product range dedicated to sustainable construction.

Impact Lending said this new product range will be the first of its kind in the development finance industry and will provide sophisticated financial solutions for forward-thinking developers, with funding available from £500,000 to £15 million for eligible sustainable developments.

To qualify, a client must engage with Impact Modular as the main contractor and manufacturer of its modular units.

This supply chain was curated to provide developers and lenders alike with a well-funded and reliable manufacturer, as well as a company that is actively involved in the Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) sector.

Impact Lending will also inherit a range of traditional construction products from Hambros Secured Lending, including Stretch Senior, Mezzanine and Bridging products.

David Travers, CEO of Impact Lending said: “We are delighted to unveil our new identity as Impact Lending, which will bring our lending company in line with the culture and ethos of the Impact Capital Group.

“We recognise the history of our industry and that is why we honour the traditional construction product range.

“However, it is part of our company’s culture to encourage all of our clients to consider building using sustainable construction methods on their future developments and contribute to the Green Recovery initiative.”

Indeed, the rebrand solidifies the platform’s position as an integral part of Impact Capital Group, a UK-based technology and design-led business, providing an end-to-end integrated value chain for the entire development process, founded by entrepreneur Robert Whitton.

Under the Impact umbrella are a number of subsidiaries, each playing a fundamental role in the real estate lifecycle model. This includes Impact Smart Homes, Impact Developments, Impact Working and Impact Modular, which operates from a 110,000 sq. ft production facility in Peterborough producing modular homes.

The  move will allow Impact Lending to adopt Impact Capital Groups core values, promoting sustainability, social cohesion and wellness through built environment projects.

Robert Whitton, founder and CEO of Impact Capital Group said: “The Government has an ambition to meet Carbon Net Zero by 2050 and has set out clear guidelines to launch a Green Industrial Revolution.

“The growing shift towards sustainable homes is a long-term environmental investment with a multitude of benefits for developers and our wider community.

“Bringing Impact Lending into the group means that we can provide a holistic solution, by catering for the end-to-end lifecycle of future developments that will benefit generations for years to come.”
