Bridge to Term

A bridge is only as good as the term debt behind it.

Radford now writes the term debt as well as the bridge. Your facility converts into 36 to 48 month paper at pricing agreed before we fund — up to 80% LTV, non-recourse, from ~9%. If you would rather use your own term lender, we coordinate that handoff on the same collateral and the same documents.

Deposit → Bridge → Term. Plus Federal Finance.
I.Why a Pre-Negotiated Takeout Matters

The hardest part of a bridge is what comes after.

Most operators discover too late that their bridge lender is happy to fund but has no view on what refinances them. The result: forced extensions, expensive re-paper, or — worst case — a fire sale of the cluster you just spent six months building.

Radford structures the bridge and the takeout together. Both facilities reference the same collateral, the same insurance assignment, the same customer offtake. You sign once.

You're not refinancing later. You're stepping through a pre-built door.
