Meet the Founders Behind Credco: Experience You Can Trust

image

Every business has a story, and ours begins with two people who have seen every side of lending. Between them, Narinder Khattoare and Hiran Patel bring more than 40 years of hands-on experience in specialist finance, bridging loans and property lending.

They have underwritten deals, built lender platforms from the ground up, managed risk, and helped clients secure funding when timing mattered most. At Credco, that experience is what makes the difference. We do not just introduce you to lenders. We understand how lenders think.

From the front line of lending to building Credco

Narinder’s career began in grassroots lending, helping customers access finance when traditional banks would not. It taught him the importance of trust, fairness and clear communication, values that still shape his approach today.

He went on to join Prudential as a national account manager, helping launch the Vitality protection product in the UK. Later, he moved into luxury asset lending with Borro, arranging finance against cars, art and fine wine.

In 2013 he became one of the founding team at Kuflink, a bridging and development finance business that grew to a £140 million loan book and more than £400 million invested through its platform. After a decade at the top, Narinder wanted to return to what he enjoys most: working directly with clients and building a brand that puts people before profit.

The detail behind every deal

Hiran’s route into finance was just as varied. After running small businesses and working in consumer lending, he joined Loans 2 Go, moving from car-secured loans into unsecured personal lending. He later underwrote regulated second-charge mortgages at Equifinance, before joining Kuflink as one of its first underwriters.

Over five years, Hiran built the entire underwriting function from a single desk to a full team, progressing to Chief Risk Officer. Known for his calm, precise approach, he focuses on structuring deals that work for both borrower and lender.
At Credco, Hiran leads on technical structuring, compliance and risk management, ensuring every proposal we put forward is lender-ready, accurate and deliverable.

Different strengths. Shared values.

Narinder and Hiran are opposites in style but aligned in purpose.
Narinder brings energy, relationships and drive, opening doors and keeping momentum high.
Hiran brings discipline, structure and detail, ensuring every yes turns into a completed deal.

Together, they have built Credco around five shared values that guide everything we do:

Clarity. Speed. Experience. Trust. Smart Structuring.

It is a partnership that combines real-world lending knowledge with the mindset of experienced underwriters.

Why it matters to clients and introducers

When you work with Credco, you are not passed down a chain. You deal directly with people who have personally assessed thousands of loans, sat on credit committees and managed deals from application to exit.

That is why brokers, property investors and business owners choose Credco for:

  • Bridging loans and development finance that move fast and make sense
  • Unsecured business loans designed for speed and flexibility
  • Advice grounded in decades of lending experience, not guesswork

Building Something Different

For Narinder and Hiran, Credco is built on relationships, reliability and shared success. They are proud to invest in people, giving new entrants the chance to learn the trade properly, and to keep clients coming back because they know what to expect: straight answers and smart structures.

Whether you are an introducer, developer or investor, Credco gives you direct access to founders who have been lenders themselves. People who know what it takes to turn an application into an approval.

Credco. Experience that earns trust.
