Hope Capital is celebrating its 12th anniversary, marking a significant milestone for the lender.
Founded by CEO Jonathan Sealey and chairman Steve Sealey, the company has seen remarkable growth, including a doubling of its workforce over the past three years.
The lender offers a broad array of financial products covering residential, mixed-use, commercial, and land deals. In addition to these, Hope Capital has expanded its portfolio to include refurbishment and development products as well as specialized longer-term options.
The first half of 2023 stands out as a particularly successful period for the lender. Year-on-year enquiries increased by 86%, applications rose by 101%, and completions grew by an impressive 106% compared to the same timeframe last year.
Jonathan Sealey, CEO at Hope Capital, had this to say about the milestone: “Flexibility, adaptability and innovation has always been at the core of Hope Capital.
“To have successfully assisted so many brokers and borrowers is something I could only have wished to achieve when I devised Hope Capital back in 2011.
“I’m extremely grateful to the brokers, borrowers and partners who have worked with us over the years and have helped us get to where we are today.
“Each day, our goal is to exceed our clients’ expectations and I’m so pleased we have been able to deliver this on so many occasions.”
Sealey also emphasised the importance of team effort in the company’s success, adding: “While I set up Hope Capital, it’s the team that really makes the business thrive. The whole team contributes, and everyone has a tremendous amount of accountability.
“We would not be where we are today without our amazing team who I appreciate so much.”
