London, United Kingdom / Sydney, Australia – Renown Lending has formally expanded into the United Kingdom, marking a significant milestone in the firm’s international growth strategy as demand for private and non-bank lending solutions continues to rise across global markets.

The move follows sustained inbound demand from UK brokers, property investors and business owners seeking flexible, asset-backed funding solutions that sit outside the constraints of traditional banking models. Renown Lending’s UK presence reflects a broader shift within the British market, where private credit is increasingly filling gaps left by tighter bank credit policies, prolonged approval timeframes and more conservative risk appetites.

The UK expansion will be led by Hajarah Zahoor, who has been instrumental in establishing Renown Lending’s early footprint in London. Having spent time on the ground building broker relationships and engaging directly with intermediaries, Zahoor will oversee origination, partnerships and market development across the United Kingdom.

“Over the past 12 months, we’ve seen a clear and consistent pattern emerge,” said a spokesperson for Renown Lending. “UK brokers are actively looking for private lenders who understand real-world transactions, can move decisively, and are prepared to structure funding around asset quality and borrower intent rather than rigid tick-box criteria. Expanding into the UK is a natural evolution of our platform.”

Renown Lending enters the UK market with a strong track record across Australia, where it has become known for providing fast, flexible and ethical private credit solutions across residential, commercial, construction, land and business-backed lending. The firm’s approach centres on pragmatic credit assessment, transparent pricing and close collaboration with brokers and professional advisers.

Zahoor said the appetite for private lending solutions in the UK has been immediate and pronounced. “The conversations we’re having with brokers in London and beyond are remarkably consistent. Clients need certainty of execution, realistic timelines and lenders who understand complex transactions. Renown Lending’s model resonates strongly because it is built around partnership, not volume.”

The UK platform will initially focus on broker-introduced transactions, working closely with intermediaries to support property-backed and business lending opportunities. Over time, Renown Lending expects to scale its UK operations in line with market demand, while maintaining the same disciplined credit culture that underpins its Australian business.

The expansion forms part of Renown Lending’s broader vision to build a globally connected private credit platform that supports brokers, developers and business owners with responsive capital solutions, while maintaining a strong emphasis on governance, risk management and long-term relationships.
