In this latest edition

In this month’s cover feature: “Like a dancer who needs to synchronise with a partner’s movements, intermediaries must find the perfect balance between the undulating needs of borrowers and the rhythmical preferences of lenders.” NACFB managing director Norman Chambers unravels the psychology of business borrowing.

The magazine also includes insight and opinion from NACFB Patrons Allica Bank, 365 Business Finance, InterBay, TAB, Shawbrook, Avamore Capital, Cambridge & Counties Bank, Bibby Financial Services, FW Capital, Capify and Time Finance.

In ‘Brown before green’ on page 34, we hear from Jackie Copley, planning policy lead at countryside charity, CPRE, on the opportunities for maximising brownfield land.

On page 18, our expert this month is Louise Chapman, commercial director at NACFB Partner, VAS Valuation Group, who answers questions on the complexities of valuing commercial property.

Lastly, we spend five minutes with Kelly Green, relationship manager at NACFB Patron, Reparo Finance.

Our thanks to all who contributed.
