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 1bn. 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.
