NACFB and BBB release broker handbook
10/10/2025
The National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (“NACFB”) has partnered with the British Business Bank (“BBB”) to launch a new co-branded handbook, unveiled at October’s NACFB Bristol roadshow - Funding Future Growth in the South West - as part of the Bank’s own Business Finance Week.
This guide is designed to help brokers navigate the full suite of finance programmes available to smaller businesses, bringing together details of the Bank’s Start Up Loans, Growth Guarantee Scheme, regional investment funds, and equity programmes.
NACFB CEO Jim Higginbotham said, “The NACFB has collaborated with the British Business Bank for over a decade, sharing a common goal of improving access to finance for smaller firms. Commercial finance brokers have long been at the forefront of helping businesses access state-backed schemes - from the early days of the Enterprise Finance Guarantee through to today’s Growth Guarantee Scheme.
“This new handbook brings clarity to that landscape and helps brokers deploy these tools to unlock funding that drives real growth.”
