Founding The Guild: Moorgate Finance Contributes Five Founders to this Finance Professional Forum.

As Moorgate Finance enter our tenth year of trading this year, we continue to look for ways to further enhance the service we offer to our customers and suppliers. Leading industry standards is not a task that can be completed alone, so part of our strategy is to look for support from the like-minded individuals around us.

This year, we are proud to have five Directors within Moorgate Finance as founding members of The Guild of Business Finance Professionals. As a collective, the Guild holds the same values as we do as a business in terms of achievements and regulation for the industry, so we are delighted to be part of their mission.

So as a customer, what does our association with The Guild mean?

Benchmarking the Gold Standard

As one of the UK’s leading independent finance brokers, it’s always been part of Moorgate Finance’s DNA to provide the gold standard in service. As members of the Guild, this goal is ever-more important as we become responsible for the representation, maintenance and promotion of this gold standard when providing intermediation financial services to corporate customers.

This means that when you work with Moorgate Finance, you can feel confident that you’ll receive nothing but the best possible service from us.

Spreading Awareness of the Importance of a Broker

With the lending market changing and developing so much over the last few years, and high-street banks leaning away from the support of SME’s, having a reliable finance broker on your side has never been more important.

Part of our membership with the Guild involves spreading awareness and understanding of the importance of the role of a broker across everyone we encounter, including customers, lenders, regulators and beyond.

We are here to provide greater clarity on what we can offer you and your business, and what outcomes working with us is likely to provide.

Stamping Out the Non-Compliant

To continue to build value around broker services, it’s an important mission of Guild members to also eradicate any inappropriate messaging around financial services.

Part of our goals is to rid the industry of things like mis-selling products, overpromising services and inaccurate advertising within our marketplace. This includes curbing poor lending and broking practices through the better highlighting of which products best fit what needs of the customer. In doing so, we leave behind only the benchmarked standard of broker behaviour.

This means that when you work with Moorgate Finance, you know you’re working with a broker that only believes in providing services suitable for your needs and affordability.

Closer relationships with Lenders

A lot of what we do with the Guild involves furthering the relationship between lenders and brokers. We aim to enhance the options and services available to end-user customers by having a collective and more powerful voice to meet the demand of corporate customers.

As a broker, we aim to develop a greater customer understanding and make more accurate suggestions on financial products to support you, baring in mind your specific needs and requirements. We’re also able to work with funders directly to, where appropriate, help improve their own product offerings to suit our customers.

Ultimately, housing so many founding members of an association as important as the Guild at Moorgate Finance can only be viewed as positive. Whether it’s from a customer point of view, a lender or supplier, the position is the same – to provide a higher level of service from our own activity and by paying closer attention to the behaviour of the wider industry.

We look forward to furthering our activity within the Guild and making a bigger positive impact on the financial industry as we grow!
