bridgingradar is a deal-matching platform built by people from the bridging and development sector. The engine asks the questions we've been asking clients since 2004; this page is who we are.
Matthew Dailly grew up in Aberdeen, was educated at Robert Gordon's College, and read Economics at the University of Edinburgh. He set up his first finance business in 1999 and began arranging bridging loans and development finance in 2004.
Across the two decades since, he has worked as a broker and as a lender: packaging deals for credit committees, and underwriting them. bridgingradar's fact find and matching logic come directly from that experience.
The team behind bridgingradar has arranged bridging and development finance since 2004, for residential and commercial projects across the UK and Western Europe, through the full range of economic cycles in that time.
The work runs end to end: initial deal structuring, lender presentation, term negotiation, credit monitoring and execution.
Behind that process sits a network built over two decades across bridging lenders, development finance providers and family offices. The engine tracks the market; the relationships sit behind it.
Deals that need specialist structuring beyond the platform's scope are handled through our sector partners — the engine flags those cases and makes the introduction.

The team, London.
A deal-matching platform for unregulated bridging finance, run by the team described above.
Every question the engine asks exists because credit committees ask it. Nothing decorative, nothing skipped.
Deals are scored against 300 tracked lenders and ranked with probabilities. Borrowers choose which lenders to approach.
The lender pays us a fee on completion; the exact figure is disclosed on every deal. Borrowers pay no broker fee and nothing is added to their rate.
