Hitachi Capital Business Finance are offering UK Hitachi brokers who currently do not hold membership to the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB) a year’s free membership to the value of £400 each.
With so many individual brokers working in discreet parts of the country and sourcing their customers from a range of market sectors can make it difficult for them to be heard amongst the bigger players in the finance industry.

NACFB is also involved in the Business Finance Partnership funded by the HM Treasury and is part of a non-political group of 125 bodies representing SMEs.
Gavin Wraith-Carter general manager at Hitachi Capital Business Finance said: "We believe providing a single voice in the industry ensures that brokers are recognised as a strong and visible option for the SME. We are all acutely aware of the pressures of regulation and increasing and the FCA push for further compliance and it’s no surprise that funding is becoming more available as the economy improves.
Adam Tyler chief executive of the NACFB said: "The NACFB recognises the importance membership plays in ensuring the broking community is as broadly represented as possible and that we are able to act on their behalf on leading industry issues. There are still many brokers who are not yet members and missing out on having their views represented. HFCB’s commitment to paying for the first year’s membership fees for their non-member brokers is an acknowledgement of the importance of the role the NACFB plays in their industry and how we are able to support them".
