Business finance is no longer solely the domain of banks or specialist brokers, the AFG Business platform has handed the keys to AFG brokers to get involved. We’ve seen over 1200 brokers seize this opportunity by gaining their AFG Business Accreditation.
We’ve been crunching the numbers, and over 27% of AFG brokers’ clients are self-employed, so they and may have a potential need for commercial finance. We’re here to help you start the conversation.
