Catalyst Property Finance has been appointed as a Patron Lender of the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB).

The appointment sees Catalyst join the NACFB’s network of lenders supporting its membership of more than 2,500 commercial finance professionals from over 1,330 brokerages across the country.

As a Patron Lender, Catalyst will work more closely with the Association and its members, offering access to its bridging, refurbishment and development finance solutions.

The NACFB is the UK’s largest independent trade body for commercial finance intermediaries and promotes high standards of professionalism and conduct.

Catalyst’s alignment with the Association’s values of integrity and best practice was instrumental in securing the new status, the two parties said.

Anna Bennett (pictured), marketing director at Catalyst, said: “Being appointed as a Patron Lender of the NACFB is a significant milestone for Catalyst.

“We deeply value the crucial role that brokers play in the specialist lending landscape, and this appointment reaffirms our commitment to supporting their vital work.

“We look forward to collaborating even more closely with the NACFB and its members, providing them with the competitive products, efficient processes, and dedicated support they need to serve their clients effectively.”

Jim Higginbotham, chief executive of the NACFB, welcomed the lender to the Association’s patronage programme, noting the breadth of its offering. “We’re delighted to welcome Catalyst Property Finance as a Patron of the NACFB,” he said.

“Their broad spectrum of property finance products strengthens the support available to our broker community, and we look forward to enabling greater opportunities for collaboration.”
