Mid-sized and specialist lenders have been an underserved part of the financial markets. Allia C&C is a specialist in raising senior and junior debt and capital for this sector, including building societies, bridging finance lenders, litigation funders and impact lenders.
Sector knowledge
The team has deep expertise in supporting financial services firms and purpose-driven organisations, with particular focus on alternative and specialist lenders. Our services include raising senior secured debt for alternative lenders, placing Tier 2 capital for smaller regulated lenders, and arranging core Tier 1 capital from a mix of local government pension funds, foundations and elective professional investors. We understand the regulatory landscape and capital requirements facing building societies and other regulated financial institutions.
Our work in financial services
Allia C&C has supported a range of financial services firms and other purpose-driven organisations over the last 12 months. With access to capital becoming a priority issue, particularly for building societies, we have supported firms including raising equity for Ecology Building Society and subordinate debt for Saffron Building Society.

Innovative solutions are key to our team’s approach.
