Affinity lands top recognition as it continues to back UK SMEs

Nottinghamshire’s Affinity Asset Finance has been officially recognised as one of the top volume performers in the UK by one of the country’s largest asset finance businesses.

Affinity has been crowned Top Hard Asset Broker of the Year by Novuna Business Finance, a financial services company, which annually awards its brokers across the Midlands, South East, South West and the North regions.

Affinity has a long relationship with Novuna Business Finance, which is part of its extensive panel of funders, regularly introducing and completing business funding for the firm.

Neil Kimberley, director at Affinity Asset Finance, said: “We’re thrilled to be recognised by such a renowned name as Novuna Business Finance and we’re incredibly proud of the relationship we’ve cultivated with the company.

“This award recognises the volumes of business we introduce, as well as very high acceptance and conversion rates for our introduced business over the year.

“We’ve now proven that Affinity is the top volume performer across the Midlands. We can boast £6m+ of brokered finance through Novuna Business Finance across a 12 month average – and this figure is growing.”

Matthew White, sales manager at Novuna Business Finance, added: “Affinity have been a key funding partner of Novuna for many years. We work exceptionally well together and understand how each other’s businesses operate. Knowing where to place deals and getting everything right, first time, is key to a good broker / funder relationship. Neil and Tom deserve to be recognised with this award. Thank you both for your continued support”

Kimberley said: “These figures are typical of the trend across all our business. Affinity’s acceptance and conversion rates are exceptionally high; in simple terms when we propose a deal and get it underwritten it goes ahead – we’re averaging around an 80% success rate and demonstrating our expertise in securing SME funding across the UK.”
