Market-leading asset finance brokerage, National Finance + Loans (NFAL) attributes its record month
to date to its launch into the broker sector and the corresponding uptake of its straight-forward ‘tick
and flick’ model.
In addition to its market extension from motor dealerships, the 78% YOY increase in the number of
settlements is credited to the appointment of renowned sales executive Ebony Maxwell as the
National Sales Manager, extending the internal asset finance brokerage team, and the launch of the
bespoke broker portal, Brokahub.
“As a pure-play asset finance specialist brokerage, we’re increasingly the referral partner for
mortgage brokers seeking to diversify but lacking the skillset, time, or desire to do asset finance. This
collaboration enables mortgage brokers to access all types of asset finance, quickly, obtain additional
income streams with marginal effort, and create stickier customers. As we’re a brokerage, there are
no aggregator conflicts, no client fact-finds or compliance conflicts,” said Mr. Les Crowe, Founder &
General Manager, National Finance + Loans.
The development and ongoing refinement of the bespoke Brokahub portal allows the company to
implement changes and respond to market requirements immediately, as opposed to relying on an
aggregator’s portal. It also enables the business to scale significantly whilst retaining personal
engagement,” continued Mr. Crowe.
“The fusion of in-person specialist expertise, backed by seamless, sophisticated technology, supports
high approval ratios and repeat business. Brokers appreciate exceptional product expertise across all
asset classes, the one-on-one support from a designated asset finance specialist who manages the
deal from start to finish,” said Ms. Maxwell.
When asked about the main requirements for asset finance over the summer months, Ms Maxwell
further commented, “There’s a historic peak in enquiries for financing personal leisure goods, such as
boats, jet skis, motorbikes and caravans as we move into the warmer months. Businesses tend to be
less cyclical. We’re experiencing sustained demand for equipment and finance to support growth and
operational efficiencies.”
National Finance + Loans was established in 1998 and progressively evolved into an asset finance
specialist brokerage with 20 employees. The company provides consumer and commercial asset
finance across all classes. It recently won the Fintelligence award for the Best Brokerage Less Than
10 Brokers, with NFAL broker, Cruz Blanchett winning the Best Commercial Broker award.
