Tom D'Arcy and Jonathan James Beard of BTG Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP were appointed joint liquidators to Bridge Lending Limited on 18 May 2026, according to a notice published in the London Gazette. The appointment was made by members and creditors.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by a company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. It is the single largest stream of UK corporate insolvency by volume.
The company
Bridge Lending Limited was incorporated on 25 May 2021 and operated from 2nd Floor, 314 Regents Park Road, Finchley, London, N3 2JX. Its registered SIC code covers financial intermediation not classified elsewhere. The registered office has since been updated to the liquidators' address at 26 Stroudley Road, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 4BH.
Companies House records show the company filed its last accounts to 31 December 2024 on an audit-exemption-subsidiary basis, with the next accounts due by 30 September 2026.
The liquidators
D'Arcy holds IP number 10852 and Beard holds IP number 9552. Both are licensed insolvency practitioners at BTG Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP. An IP number is the licence number issued by an insolvency practitioner's recognised professional body. Joint liquidators are two or more insolvency practitioners appointed to act together; either can usually act alone unless the appointment specifies otherwise.
The director
Paresh Shantilal Raja has been a director of Bridge Lending Limited since incorporation on 25 May 2021. Companies House records show no resignation date, meaning Raja was a current officer at the point of the CVL appointment. No other directors or secretaries are recorded.
Secured charges
No secured charges are registered against Bridge Lending Limited at Companies House, so no secured creditors are recorded ahead of unsecured creditors in the liquidation.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Bridge Lending Limited?
In a creditors' voluntary liquidation you are an unsecured creditor unless you hold a registered charge or retention of title. The liquidators will write to known creditors with a proof-of-debt form. A statement of affairs prepared by the directors and the chair of the creditors' decision procedure should be available on request. Read more about proof of debt and where you sit in the creditor hierarchy.
Did you work at Bridge Lending Limited?
In a CVL, employees are typically dismissed at or shortly after the liquidator's appointment. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The liquidators will normally provide RP1 case-reference numbers to the affected staff. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Bridge Lending Limited?
Customers with paid-but-undelivered orders, gift cards or deposits rank as unsecured creditors in the liquidation. Where you paid by credit card and the amount was over £100, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 may let you claim from the card issuer for breach of contract or misrepresentation by the supplier; the rules apply per item, not per transaction, and the card must be a regulated credit card. Debit-card payments may be recoverable via chargeback.
Are you a director of a company connected to Bridge Lending Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the company enters liquidation. If you intend to be involved in another company using the same or a similar name within five years, you must rely on one of the three statutory exceptions and file the relevant notice. Acting in breach is a criminal offence and exposes you to personal liability for the successor's debts.
