Success Story
Greymax Capital
United Kingdom
Like most business when they start up, Greymax initially relied on Excel and manual processes to manage loan book financials and funders. As the business grew, this approach became inefficient, hindering productivity for its small but experienced team.
Within a matter of weeks from being introduced, Hypercore delivered a customisable, comprehensive financial loan management platform, streamlining Greymax’s operations and reporting.
Implementing Hypercore transformed how Greymax could manage its loan book financial information for its own purposes as well as for its borrowers and funders.
Greymax, a privately funded bridging lender, specialises in short-term finance secured against property assets.
➤ Focus on service provided by a small experienced team.
➤ All underwriting operated in-house.
➤ Simplified process focusing on what really matters with no valuation reports or application forms required.
➤ Privately funded with genuine lending discretion.
Greymax struggled with manual, spreadsheet-based loan management, limiting its ability to scale and deliver professional investor reporting. As a growing bridging lender, the complex, bespoke loan structures — including multi-borrower loans, staged drawdowns, and non-standard repayment terms — were challenging to track and manage efficiently. Without a single source of truth for loan data, the team faced inefficient manual processes, inconsistent reporting, and limited visibility across the loan book.
”That part of the business was operating inefficiently and was unnecessarily stressful - we were not making best use of our limited time.”
Alan Margolis, Director at Greymax Capital
The lack of robust, automated systems also made it difficult to provide investors with timely, professional reports, hindering Greymax’s ability to scale while maintaining high service standards.
”I could live on Excel forever, but I wouldn't be giving my investors a professional service.״
Michael Kingsley, Greymax Capital Founder/Director
After spending a year unsuccessfully trying to implement another provider, Greymax was introduced to Hypercore. Hypercore worked closely with Greymax to understand their roadmap and specific challenges and delivered a customizable, comprehensive financial loan management platform tailored to their needs.
“We didn’t know exactly what to search for — but we knew we needed something flexible that could handle all of our loan and borrower data in one place and help with reporting."
Michael Kingsley, Greymax Capital Founder/Director
The system replaced separate spreadsheets with a centralized database for completed loan financials, including the ability to manage complex funding arrangements and bespoke deal terms. Hypercore’s automated investor reporting and customizable fields provides Greymax with the ability to manage its bespoke lending model and keep investors informed with professional, accurate reports — all without adding headcount.
“Hypercore said they’d deliver things by a certain date, and they did. That is a first for me in an IT project, pretty much ever.”
Michael Kingsley, Greymax Capital Founder/Director
In less than 6 months, the Greymax team implemented Hypercore and now has a comprehensive database of all their properties, brokers, and loan inquiries. And, Hypercore can handle their complex loan structures accurately.
“We've got some really complicated loans. Hypercore guided us every step of the way to make the loans look exactly the same as our spreadsheet.”
Fran Wartenberg, Operations Manager at Greymax Capital
The team now has has a high tech, but simple platform to manage its loan book financials. They have seen significant efficiency gains in data entry and retrieval, enabling them to grow their business further without taking on additional staff.
“I couldn't think of a reason someone wouldn't use Hypercore.”
