Wellesley Group launched in June 2013 and has grown to become a prominent player in the alternative property finance space, an asset class traditionally dominated by the high street banks. An independent British business, Wellesley facilitates access to credit for creditworthy small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who undertake property development activities across the UK in the property sector. Within Wellesley Group, Wellesley Finance provides property development finance. It takes security over a property developer’s project and monitors the construction on a regular basis. Wellesley Finance receives its funding from retail investors who invest in retail bonds that it has issued directly. It also employs Peer-to-Peer lending investments which are operated by Wellesley & Co Limited. Both Wellesley Finance Plc and Wellesley & Co Limited are subsidiaries of Wellesley Group Investors Limited.
