Tuscan Capital

Tuscan Capital is a UK-based property finance lender established in 2018 by co-founders Colin Sanders and Ed Parsons. Sanders, who serves as CEO, was previously the CEO of Omni Capital and Fortwell Capital, while Parsons was the former Chief Financial Officer. They founded Tuscan Capital with the aim of addressing what they saw as a need for more speed and decisiveness in the bridging loan market.

The company operates in the non-regulated short-term property finance sector in England and Wales. It provides bridging finance to a range of clients, including private individuals, foreign nationals, and various corporate entities for residential, semi-commercial, and commercial properties. Its business model is centered on offering personalized and flexible lending solutions with direct access to decision-makers, avoiding delays from credit committees. The firm's revenue is generated from interest and fees on its loan products. In August 2024, Tuscan Capital was acquired by Allica Bank and has since been fully integrated and rebranded under the Allica Bank name.

Tuscan Capital's service portfolio includes residential and commercial bridging loans, auction finance, refurbishment finance, and development exit bridges. The company offers loans from £150,000 to £10,000,000, with loan-to-value (LTV) ratios of up to 75% for residential and 65% for commercial properties, over terms ranging from 3 to 24 months. It has a physical presence with offices in London, Birmingham, and Manchester.
