I established Approved Business Finance Ltd in 2019 and after weighing up the options of direct authorisation versus plugging into a network I took the decision to join AFS. AFS’s systems, reputation, funder panel, pricing structure and back-office support made my choice of network extremely simple. AFS have not disappointed, the platform they have provided to Approved Business Finance has allowed us to scale far beyond the limits I believed were achievable within a network. AFS have allowed us to operate autonomously whilst providing the comfort of a fully compliant support network on hand at every step of our journey. I cannot speak highly enough of AFS and look forward to working with them for many more years to come.

As a small independent broker it can be difficult to access a large panel of lenders who cover all of the areas I specialise in, this includes competitive rates, lending criteria and more importantly knowing the right person within the bank/lender to gain support. Synergy is the perfect partner to help me achieve this, we have a voice and it really makes a difference for me and more importantly my clients. Additionally the compliance team ensure that we are compliant and up to speed with all requirements including those coming soon. Synergy is not just a network it is a family.

Being part of the AFS franchise group provides me with the ability to access the best funders in the asset finance market.
Our clients take comfort in the fact that we are one of the largest broker groups in the UK & realise that due to large volumes of lending being written that we naturally have substantial negotiating power to provide them with the best possible deal.
AFS provide full support & are constantly looking to develop new relationships with new funders.
AFS provides me with a platform to perform to the best of my ability knowing that compliance, maintaining funder relationships & admin support are being looked after for me.
