FOLK2FOLK, the national marketplace lender for regional SMEs, has re-joined the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB) as a patron.
Since 2013, FOLK2FOLK has enabled small businesses from most sectors across the UK to access property-secured finance and is currently the second largest lending platform within its sector in terms of cumulative lending, having injected more than £562m into small businesses.
Over recent years, the company’s broker relationships have played an increasingly important role in its loan origination and in recognition of this, FOLK2FOLK has re-affirmed its support for the NACFB by re-joining as a patron after several years.
Roy Warren (pictured), managing director of FOLK2FOLK, said: “I believe our emphasis on Broker relationships, coupled with the holistic view we take of borrowers and the deal, as well as the simplicity, speed and straightforward nature of FOLK2FOLK loans, have all been instrumental to our successful broker partnerships to date.
“We are looking forward to working closely with NACFB Members; helping to broaden understanding of the secured lending options available and providing relevant products and support to them and their clients.”
Norman Chambers, managing director of NACFB, added: “It’s a great feeling when a lender renews their NACFB patronage. It demonstrates that both the Association and our Members are a good fit with the lender’s aims and values.
“We’re delighted to welcome FOLK2FOLK back into the fold, particularly now that SME’s access to finance is more crucial than ever.”
