About MT Finance
MT Finance was founded by Aboody and Elash in 2008, after the two entrepreneurs saw first-hand the impact of the financial crisis. Throughout this time, many companies faced heavy restrictions on the finance they could obtain from high street banks. MT Finance was created to provide finance alternatives, including auction finance and bridging loans, helping those in need to bridge the gap between selling one property and buying another.
MT Finance also offer other products, including landlord loans and second charge mortgages. So far, MT Finance has completed over £1 billion worth of lending.
