Structured finance firm Captima has launched a business in Jersey offering independent financing options for real estate borrowers, investors and developers.
The firm, which was established in the Isle of Man over 10 years ago, is led in Jersey by Managing Director Mark Watson (pictured).
Structuring property finance ranging from less than £1m to £500m, Captima offers trustees and businesses a wide range of finance options for clients.
Founded in the Isle of Man in 2008, it registered in Jersey in 2018, and has recently moved into its new offices in St Helier.
Captima is also one of the newest members of Jersey Finance. Joe Moynihan, CEO of Jersey Finance, said: “Captima adds to the strength and depth of our financial services ecosystem and I believe its expertise will be beneficial for our businesses and for financial services in Jersey.”
Typical Captima projects include large-scale build-to-rent apartment schemes in major UK cities. Cap Real Estate, a joint venture with Captima based in central London, offers specialist advisory services for developers and investors in alternative residential real estate.
Watson commented: “We can help our developer clients shape projects at an earlier stage in the planning process. Institutional investors have very specific requirements regarding amenities and unit sizes, so the design must meet the requirements of the investor. Captima is currently involved in the funding of roughly 40,000 units across the UK.”
