Next stage of development for UNIFi

The firm has recently become accredited with London & Scottish Bank plc after delivering the roll-out of all its services to the entire broking sector. This union has resulted in complete product coverage for all UNIFi members. It is also at a stage where it can now deliver its full range of services to secured loan intermediary firms.

UNIFi offers secured loan brokers a wide range of services including fast-track accreditation, a vast whole-of-market lender panel covering all product features and criteria, market-leading commissions, plus access to support services such as compliance, marketing, management information and IT.

Unlike other networks, UNIFi does not tell member firms how to run their businesses or insist the firm utilises all of UNIFi’s services. The member firm thus maintains its independence.

Patrick Bamford, managing director of UNIFi, commented: “I am delighted to announce that UNIFi has gained accreditation with London & Scottish Bank plc. The London & Scottish product range ensures a number of niche areas are now covered giving UNIFi members’ access to the entire range of products currently available in the market. Since our establishment we have worked hard to explain the UNIFi proposition and its partnership benefits to lenders and we have been extremely encouraged by their response.

“At UNIFi we have been cautious on offering all of our services to the entire broking sector until a point when we knew we could offer real value to member firms. We are now at this point in our development and secured loan member firms will benefit from our full range of services.

“Not only will UNIFi members have a vast whole-of-market lender panel to choose from as well as the top commissions available, they will also have access to additional services including marketing, compliance and process advice.

“In this sense UNIFi offers the complete broker solution and no matter what their size, we have something to offer firms that will aid the growth of their businesses. This is an exciting time for UNIFi and the market will certainly see a step up in our activities in the coming weeks ahead.”
