About us

Bridgeloan.nl was founded by Joost Beijers and Art Nijhuis, both experienced financial intermediaries in the commercial real estate market. Their years of experience have not only given them a sharp insight into the existing financing options, but also inspired them to think about what is still missing and how it can be improved. This is how the idea for Bridgeloan.nl came about.

With our flexible Bridge Credit, we offer solutions that seamlessly match the unique needs of real estate professionals, taking into account the specific characteristics and timing of their projects. We achieve this in close collaboration with RNHB, our exclusive funding partner.
