How can brokers cut through the noise? 👉 https://lnkd.in/eFg8GUhd Access to suitable finance has consistently been one of the top five challenges for SMEs. Over time, the banking crisis and the Covid pandemic have intensified a problem that never truly disappears: business owners remain uncertain about the financing options available to them and how to access them. 💬 "Education has always been required, though now for different reasons,” says Dr. Steve Walker, chief executive of NACFB Patron ART Business Loans. "The landscape has shifted, with new entrants competing for attention.” 📚 In the latest edition of Commercial Broker, Steve emphasises that this is precisely where commercial finance brokers play a vital role. Their expertise in identifying and securing the most appropriate finance for SMEs has never been more important. #CommercialBroker #SMEFinance #CommercialFinance

If there’s one thing every commercial broker knows, it’s that no two SME funding journeys are ever the same. Needs evolve. Circumstances shift. Priorities can change halfway through a single conversation. Yet - even with all this complexity - it’s easy to slip into familiar patterns and default to the same lenders we’ve always used. When clients are up against tight deadlines or facing complicated requirements, those habits feel safe. But Gemma Wright, managing director – sales & distribution at NACFB Patron Reward Funding, makes a powerful case for breaking those habits. 💬 “More often than not, by looking beyond the ‘what’, brokers can open up a lot more solutions.” In the latest edition of Commercial Broker, Gemma explores why it’s essential for brokers to challenge assumptions, revisit their understanding of lenders, and approach each deal with fresh eyes 👉 https://lnkd.in/e5aiYxVR #CommercialBroker #SMEFunding #BrokerSolutions

Great opportunity to network, meet some new and old friends, have a few drinks and support a very worthy cause.

“The UK commercial property market is in a period of change, and with change comes opportunity,” says Peter Turner, senior business development manager at NACFB Patron Glenhawk. For brokers, guiding clients through changing demand trends and regulatory environments isn’t only about obtaining finance - it’s about discovering untapped value in emerging or often-ignored asset classes. “For borrowers willing to look beyond the obvious, there’s enormous value waiting to be uncovered. The challenge – and the reward – lies in spotting it first,” shares Peter. ✏️ Writing in the latest edition of Commercial Broker, Peter shines a light on broker opportunities in the UK commercial property 👉 https://lnkd.in/epfMptTQ #CommercialBroker #UKCommercialProperty #BrokerOpportunities
