During the past month Castle Trust, Yes Growth, Catalyst Finance, Signature Private Finance and Legion Trade Finance have all signed up to become part the NACFB.
Earlier on this year the association announced it passed the milestone of obtaining its 100th patron as well as gaining 100 member firms in the last 12 months.
New patron YesGrowth, which provides short-term unsecured loans, recognises the importance of the NACFB’s campaign to boost awareness on the funding options available for SMEs. It comments: “As members of the NACFB know, there are multiple options available to small businesses looking to secure the finance they need to grow and expand.”
Fellow new NACFB patron, Catalyst Business Finance Ltd was initially established to support the activities of Jeremy Lawrence, a franchisee of the Interface Financial Group. Now, under CEO Jonathan Wilder, Catalyst has evolved, not only to manage the cash flow requirements of clients that comply with the Catalyst IFG model, but also to provide alternative funding products to companies who require short term cash flow.
Other new additions include Castle Trust a new financial services company that specialises in providing second charge loans and Buy to Let Equity Loans, principal Lender, Signature Private Finance and Legion Trade Finance which works in front-end working capital funding and has made trades worth £40 million since its launch.
In preparation for the expo, the NACFB had to knock down walls to expand the show as it had sold out all exhibitor stands.
Doors for this event open at 09:30am on Wednesday 25th June. As every year, it’s free to attend, and as well as being an event where deals get done and genuinely useful contacts get made, it’s also a lot of fun.
