Our founding lender panel is open
Ledgerly launches with a founding panel of bridging lenders. Here's what founding lenders get, what we need from them, and why we're starting there.
Ledgerly is the UK’s first AI-native commercial finance brokerage, and we’re starting with bridging. Before we source our first deal, we’re building the panel of lenders our engine matches deals against. That founding panel is open now.
Why lenders come first
When a borrower calls us, an experienced broker takes their deal while our engine sources it live against each lender’s criteria. That only works if the criteria are already in the engine. So we’re asking lenders in first, and launching once the founding panel is in.
What founding lenders get
- Deals matched to your exact criteria. Nothing that doesn’t fit.
- Complete, anonymised packs. Every file arrives complete, with a credit summary.
- Match reasons recorded. Every match is recorded with the reasons it fits.
- Your criteria are never shared.
- No cost to join.
You’ll also deal directly with Luke Rutherford, our co-founder and CEO, who ran a commercial finance desk before starting Ledgerly.
What we need from you
Your criteria sheet, your product cards and your current appetite. That’s enough for our engine to send you deals from day one.
How to join
If you lend in bridging, join the founding panel. Tell us who you are and what you lend, and we’ll be in touch.
