Complimentary Consultation

Book a complimentary Funding Strategy Review.

A no-obligation fifteen-minute conversation. We discuss funding options, the exit strategy, potential risks and the next steps that make sense.

The Discipline

Five questions I ask before every bridge.

01

What is the exit?

Sale, refinance, or the delivery of a specific event.

02

Is the exit realistic?

Underwritten against evidence, not optimism.

03

What happens if the project overruns?

Contingency for time is as important as contingency for cost.

04

Have all costs been budgeted?

Finance, professional, void, tax, VAT and reinstatement.

05

Would I recommend this to a client of my own?

The final and most honest test, the one an introducing adviser would apply.

"Every bridge should begin with a credible exit strategy."

Darren Leigh

Darren founded DGL Commercial Finance to do a very specific thing: help property professionals and their clients arrive at the right funding decision, not simply the fastest one, and not always the most profitable one for the broker.

He works quietly, personally and directly with accountants, solicitors, planning consultants and auction houses across the UK. The introducing adviser is kept sighted throughout, and every client is managed from first conversation to completion by the same person.
