CFI: NACFB
the association recently unveiled its new rebranding which has seen changes to the nacFB logo and has introduced the tagline “Helping Fund uK Business” at the agm in november. it was felt that it was important to have a recognisable logo rather than a range of logos representing different sectors of the nacFB such as nacFB member Services or nacFB Financial Services. the aim is to bring together all sectors of the association under one recognisable logo with differing colours to represent the sectors. the positioning statement
of “Helping Fund uK Business” was also introduced to help underline the importance of the association and its members in terms of bringing funders and Smes together. over the past year, it has become more and more of a focus of the nacFB, and we have attended various events aimed at Smes and the

terms of securing funding. our presence at these events will inevitably lead to more recognition of the nacFB brand by Smes rather than just industry peers and will help to reiterate the value that a professional nacFB broker can have in putting their businesses in contact with a funder that can help. this is also in addition to
the high level lobbying that the association does in terms of meeting political parties and initiatives aimed at helping Smes with funding in the uK. the association has always recognised the importance of the role of the broker in securing finance for businesses, but it is more important than ever that the nacFB gets the message across, that there are a range of funders that can help and the association and its members can help put businesses in contact with funders who will listen and help.
2012 looks to be a very busy year and we intend to hold more events for the membership to keep them abreast of any new opportunities in the commercial market. We will have the usual mixture of training days and networking days as well as the extremely popular Commercial Finance Expo held in June and the Asset Finance Seminar in March. In January and February we will also be running a series of six regional asset fraud training days in conjunction with ING - dates and venues to be confirmed. 2012 is also the year that the NACFB celebrates its 20th anniversary and this will culminate in the 2012 AGM, Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony at the prestigious venue, Park Plaza Hotel, London.
