The National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB) has announced details of its sixth Commercial Finance Expo on 17 June.

It will be joined by a representative of the British Business Bank, which was set up in 2012 to access other forms of finance for SMEs outside of the mainstream lenders. Its aim was to input £10bn extra into SME lending over a period of years. Three years on, the British Business Bank has introduced billions of pounds to a field of more than 10,000 UK businesses. The British Business Bank also has £1bn earmarked solely for matched funds – effectively doubling the benefit to the market.

In addition, the FCA will be undertaking a short presentation for brokers, lenders and funders, and will be part of the NACFB’s compliance session.

New this year is a marquee-style Business Lounge, which joins the Conference Theatre as a venue-within-a-venue. The NACFB is expecting 1300 delegates and 120 exhibitors.
