Approved Business Finance (ABF) has arranged over £190m in funding in the last year, covering business, property, and motor finance.
The Milton Keynes-based broker is now nearing £600m in total finance since starting in 2019.
This included deals like the property team financing a £17.8m luxury apartment development and a £13.2m corporate buy-to-let (BTL) facility.
Additionally, ABF has grown its workforce to almost 50 staff and invested in new offices in central Milton Keynes.
The company has also launched the approved academy, providing internal training for new hires, which has seen staff move into broker roles across the business.
Strategic partnerships have supported its growth, with collaborations including Subway, Cleveland Containers, and Hire Association Europe.
Approved Business Finance now works with more than 103 industry sectors, from construction and manufacturing to retail and franchising.
