First 4 Bridging and the F4B Network have rebranded as Envelop and Envelop Network as it grows its presence in other lending markets.
It says: “Envelop is positioning itself as the home of property finance and the rebrand has taken place to reflect the growing level of enquiries involving complex residential transactions, buy-to-let, second charge, commercial term loans and development finance.”
The packager has operated in the specialist lending market for over 20 years, while its network was launched in February last year and has grown to top 100 appointed representatives this summer.
Envelop chief executive Myles Williams says: “We are extremely proud of the work that went into building the First 4 Bridging brand and the reputation we have established over the past 20 years.
“However, the brand ended up feeling a little restrictive as we have ambitious growth plans in place for both our packager business and for our network which is going from strength to strength.
“The specialist lending market has evolved in recent years and we have evolved as a business in line with this.
“We will certainly not be turning our back on bridging finance as this is what we are best known for, but growing demand from our introducers and intermediary partners dictates that we need to have a strong presence in all areas of the specialist markets to deliver the type of solutions which can make a real difference to their clients and their business.”
