Assetz Elevate new business team

Assetz Capital has announced the launch of ‘Assetz Elevate’ - a new dedicated product line offering fast, flexible loans from £250,000 to £1.5 million for smaller ground-up development opportunities. 

Tailored for smaller residential schemes of 1–15 units across England and Wales, the product delivers funding at up to 70% LTGDV and 85% LTC, with credit-backed terms designed for speed, certainty, and execution. 

While the lender has already deployed over £262m in sub £1.5m loans to date, Assetz says this move marks a formalisation of a specialist new business team and a commitment to this segment of the market. 

Assetz Elevate is specifically targeted at developers with proven experience in delivering similar-scale projects, offering brokers a clear route to finance for clients that sit below the traditional ‘mid-market’ bracket. 

Jake Hiskett, new business director at Assetz Capital, said: “Assetz Elevate is about focus, pace, and partnership. We know brokers and developers have long been asking for a more responsive, consistent route to smaller-scale ground-up funding. Assetz Elevate brings that — with a team that knows the sector, understands the challenges, and delivers certainty from day one.” 

Led by Hiskett, the newly established new business team will manage all Assetz Elevate loan enquiries, providing a specialist point of contact for brokers and developers working on smaller ground-up schemes. Deals will benefit from a simplified process, fast turnaround, and expert underwriting by a team that understands projects of this size and complexity. 

Andrew Fraser, CCO at Assetz Capital, commented: “We’ve built a strong reputation for delivering larger schemes. But with Assetz Elevate we’re putting real structure and energy into a segment we already know well. The product is designed for speed, backed by our experience and delivered with certainty This is about supporting smaller developers to scale - from infill site to their next big opportunity - with speed, confidence and credibility.”
