Lendco has joined the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB) as a patron.

The specialist bridging and buy-to-let lender has lent more than £1.5bn since it launched in 2018 and hopes to widen distribution and boost growth further through the new partnership.

Lendco executive director Alex King says: “We’re looking forward to working with NACFB member brokers who will find our common-sense approach to underwriting both refreshing and rewarding and we look forward to forging new, strong relationships.

“Our support of the NACFB cements our determination to continue on our growth journey while offering the very best experience to our valued intermediaries.” NACFB managing director Norman Chambers says: “We’re delighted to welcome Lendco.

“I’m certain their buy-to-let and bridging offerings will be welcomed by our members who are always keen to broaden the availability of finance solutions for their SMEs, landlords and developer clients.

“With more than 2,500 individual brokers from 1,100 brokerage firms, NACFB patronage will support Lendco’s growth ambitions too.”
