Crystal Specialist Finance has launched a new website that upgrades its digital submissions, allowing brokers to submit their cases digitally and speed up review times.
The distributor says in addition to improvements to its Crystal HUB tool, the site has been redesigned so it is clearer to navigate and showcases the latest deals and information on the market.
The firm provides details on commercial finance, bridging loans, second-charge mortgages, development finance, specialist residential as well as buy-to-let mortgages and has access to over 100 lenders.
Crystal Specialist Finance marketing director Dom Wilkinson says: “Our goal is to use technology to enable and empower brokers, making the process of securing the best property finance deals for their clients as frictionless and as seamless as possible – rather than replacing the vital human interactions and personal relationships that are vital to any successful business organisation.
“We see the new site as integral to our growth plans and we hope it will support brokers maximise their business opportunities.”
In February, the group attracted investment from private firm Pagos Holdings I Limited.
Pagos took a passive, minority shareholding, providing funds that Crystal said will be used alongside its own capital reserves to make acquisitions, “which serves mortgage brokers and professional introducers”.
Crystal group sales and marketing director Jason Berry said at the time: “The specialist market is set to offer huge opportunity during the next few years, so this new investment coupled with our own acquisitional funds comes at the perfect time for us.
“It provides a war chest which we will use with diligence to grow both organically and through acquisition.”
