We’re pleased to see it’s not just crowdfunding that’s getting its act together and forming bodies to establish and enforce good practice (our trade organisation of choice is the UK Crowdfunding Association).
“The Association of Alternative Business Finance (AABF) has been founded by Capify UK, Catalyst Finance, Credit4, Fleximize, Liberis, The Just Loans Group and YesGrowth to champion and promote the best standards of industry practice and adhere to its four operating principles of transparency, responsibility, fairness and security.
“John Davies of The Just Loans Group has been named as the Association’s first chairman as it looks to work closely with other well-established finance associations.
“‘A vibrant and diverse alternative lending sector has successfully established itself in the UK and we feel the time is right to give it a voice and promote best standards of industry practice,’ said John.”
