Secured in 2010 and funded by its own Paxton Secured Income Fund, the lender says it will use the capital to expand its range of products aimed at the short-term finance market.

The provider has said its new range will provide loans above £500,000, and with interest rates starting from 1% it hopes the funding line will galvanise an increase in business.

David Kinane, partner at Paxton, said: "This new funding line allows us to consolidate existing relationships and to create new ones within the introducer base."

"It is a very competitively priced, non-status product that sits well in the market place."
