Marketplace Finance and My Local Broker enter alliance
Marketplace Finance and My Local Broker (MLB) entered a partnership on 17 November 2022 to further bolster MLB broker commercial loans.
The collective broking, lender referral and loan product selection expertise of the two companies has now been combined as a result of this union.
Sub-aggregator MLB sees Marketplace Finance offer its commercial referral services to MLB brokers, helping them with their diversification into commercial lending, Marketplace Finance explained at the time.
Speaking exclusively to The Adviser about the new partnership, Marketplace Finance head of third-party relationships and National Finance Brokers Day founder, Dino Pacella, said: “With only 30 per cent of mortgage brokers writing commercial loans, we at Marketplace Finance see this as a huge opportunity for us to continue partnering with quality businesses to help them expand their client base, increase revenue, and protect their existing clients through commercial lending.
“It’s why I’m excited for us to announce our latest partnership with the professional and forward-thinking team at My Local Broker.”
