Registration opens for UK’s largest commercial broker trade show
The NACFB Commercial Finance Expo, the UK’s largest trade show for commercial finance professionals, returns to Birmingham’s NEC on Wednesday 11th June 2025 with a bold new metropolis theme.
Celebrating 15 years of driving broker-led SME lending, the free event is reimagined as a dynamic cityscape, reflecting the NACFB’s nationwide community of commercial finance professionals.
This summer’s NACFB Expo will transform Hall 3A of the NEC into a vibrant urban hub, designed to mirror the energy and diversity of the UK’s commercial finance landscape. Attendees can expect an immersive experience that fosters connection, innovation, and growth, bringing together over 140 exhibitors and 2,000 delegates from across the small business lending spectrum.
Commenting on what will be his first NACFB Expo as CEO, Jim Higginbotham, said: “The NACFB Expo isn’t just an event – it is the physical manifestation of our community. For 15 years, the show has grown from a grassroots gathering into a national force, uniting brokers, lenders, and innovators who help originate billions in SME funding annually.”
Jim continued: “As CEO, I’m proud to unveil a metropolis that mirrors our collective ambition. Whether you’re a seasoned broker or a rising star, this is the place where partnerships are forged, ideas ignite, and the future of SME finance takes shape.”
Becky McGarrity, NACFB events manager, added: “The team are thrilled to bring the 2025 NACFB Expo to life with a fresh, city-inspired vision. This is more than just a refresh – it’s a reimagining of what an industry event can be. From the moment you step into the venue, you’ll feel the energy of a thriving metropolis, where every corner offers opportunities to connect, learn, and grow. We’ve designed this experience to reflect the strength and diversity of our community, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone to this exciting new chapter.”
The NACFB Commercial Finance Expo has long been the UK’s leading platform for broker-led small business lending, and this year’s event promises to be the most ambitious yet.
With a focus on fostering meaningful connections and showcasing the latest innovations in intermediary-led commercial finance, the NACFB’s flagship event will also host a conference theatre welcoming expert industry leaders, alongside dedicated networking spaces and an exclusive area for NACFB Members.
