Short-term financing. When time is decisive.

When conventional financing is not fast enough.

Not every financing need can be met within conventional bank processes. Especially for time-critical acquisitions, expiring loans or short-term liquidity needs, time can be the deciding factor.

In such situations, alternative lenders allow faster decisions and flexible structures, provided the economic basis, the collateral and the exit are sound.

This is exactly where we come in.

More than just arranging capital.

As an independent financing boutique, we review and structure short-term financing projects secured by real estate and place them with suitable alternative lenders.

We analyse the borrower, the property, existing charges, the loan-to-value and the exit, develop a viable financing structure from this and prepare the case so that a decision can be made.

We then approach selected family offices, private investors, debt funds and institutional investors whose lending profile matches the project.

No broad distribution. No anonymous platform. Personal, structured and discreet capital placement.

Typical financing situations

  • Property acquisition

    A property has to be acquired at short notice and the purchase price provided on time.

  • Interim financing

    Long-term financing or a specific inflow of liquidity is foreseeable but still needs time.

  • Refinancing & repayment

    An existing loan is expiring or a lender needs to be repaid at short notice.

  • Bridging until sale

    A property is being sold, but liquidity is needed beforehand.

  • Corporate liquidity

    An economically sound company needs capital at short notice and has suitable real estate assets as collateral.

  • Special financing situations

    Disputes among shareholders or heirs, tax payments, asset restructuring or other time-critical obligations.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between interim financing and bridge financing?

Both terms refer to short-term financing that bridges a period until long-term financing, sale proceeds or another inflow of funds is available. "Bridge financing" is the term commonly used among investors. We arrange such financing secured by real estate, with terms of up to 24 months and through selected alternative lenders.

Do you also arrange mezzanine and subordinated capital?

Yes. We prefer first-ranking collateral. Subordinated financing, such as mezzanine capital, is possible in principle with a total LTV of no more than 70%.

What is mezzanine capital?

Mezzanine capital is subordinated capital. It ranks behind the senior loan and ahead of equity. Because it ranks lower, it is usually more expensive than a senior loan. For real estate it is often secured by a second-ranking land charge.

What does LTV mean?

LTV (loan to value) is the ratio of the loan amount to the current market value of the property. We finance up to a maximum of 70% LTV.

What information do you need for an initial assessment?

Information on the reason for financing, the requested amount, the property and its market value, existing charges, the planned exit, and basic information on the borrower and their economic situation.

How quickly will I hear back?

Once the key information is available, you will usually receive an initial credit assessment within 24 to 48 hours.

What does the brokerage cost?

For the successful arrangement of financing, MP capital management GmbH receives a brokerage fee from the borrower. The amount is agreed transparently and individually before the mandate is signed.

Do you finance developers or project developments?

No. Conventional construction, developer and project development financing, as well as corporate financing without real estate collateral, are not part of our services.
