Invest & Fund becomes newest NACFB patron
Invest & Fund has become a patron of the National Association of Commercial and Finance Brokers (NACFB).
The peer-to-peer residential development funding platform joins the broker trade body as it eyes a sustained period of growth.
Earlier this year, the company announced an expansion of its geographical area of operation to include additional regions in the North of England, in partnership with Homes England. It is predicting an “uptick in development demand” across the North of England.
Gary Trueman, head of origination at Invest & Fund, said he hopes that his company’s “market-leading offering” will become the go-to solution for NACFB members with property developer clients.
