Watson Assets Management
Secured lending · private credit
Basel · Switzerland · Est. 2024
Bridge and development finance for mid-market real estate and hospitality, from EUR 1M to EUR 50M+, with exceptions case by case. Indicative terms within 72 hours, and terms that hold to closing.
For qualified and professional investors. Capital is secured by a mix of first-rank mortgages, personal guarantees, and bank guarantees depending on the deal.
Since 2024, Watson AM has arranged secured lending and real-estate finance for European developers and sponsors, funded through various private and professional lenders.
All projects taken were funded in full, and each handled directly by a founding partner.
Watson moved faster than the three banks we'd been circling for eleven months. Indicative terms on a Tuesday, funded in time for our third drawdown by late summer.
Watson funded three facilities for us in under a year. The value is in the clarity. We know within days whether a deal clears, and what the path to close looks like.
A rare combination of institutional discipline and founder-level responsiveness. The Watson team reads the deal, not the checklist.
