Cohort Capital

Who they are

Cohort Capital is a leading short-term real estate finance provider, delivering rapid, flexible funding across the UK property sector since 2019. Founded by debt finance specialist Matt Thame and investor Bal Sohal, we leverage over 100 years of combined experience. Backed by institutional and family office capital, we provide tailored bridging finance from £1m–50m. Our equity-based approach, private capital structure and sector expertise allow us to assess assets and sponsors, access off-market opportunities and commit quickly, often closing deals in just over two weeks.

Their ethos

Cohort Capital is a pragmatic, solutions-led lender focused on certainty, speed and execution. We take a commercially driven, common-sense approach, supporting both straightforward and more complex transactions where challenges may sit with the borrower, asset or strategy. Decisions are made quickly and in-house, with terms issued directly from our investment committee and final approval from the founder. With no third-party funders or hidden constraints, we offer true discretion, flexibility and certainty of execution, designing lending solutions around what borrowers actually need, not rigid criteria.

What they specialise in

Cohort Capital specialises in bespoke bridging finance, delivering fast, decisive funding with full credit-backed commitment. We focus on delivering tailored solutions and have the ability to consider assets, sponsors and strategies that sit outside a traditional lender’s requirements.
