By IAN COULSON, Head of Commercial Brokerage, HSBC UK

When you’re looking to open new doors for your clients, it makes sense to forge links with a known and trusted partner – one that offers the widest possible range of products and solutions.

HSBC UK serves over 15 million active customers which includes 685,000 businesses across the UK, supported by 23,900 colleagues. We partner with businesses from small and medium sized enterprises to large corporates – supporting every stage of their growth, their international ambitions and their sustainability transitions – through our universal banking capabilities

We don’t coast on those credentials, however. They are matched by an unparalleled level of care in the way we build relationships with you and your clients.

We support brokers and introducers operating right across the commercial lending space. As a member of our Broker Panel, you’ll benefit from specialised support from our dedicated team, who will cultivate your relationship with the bank and support you to broaden your client relationships.

You’ll earn commission on a wide range of products, including commercial mortgage and business loans, flexible business loans, overdrafts for agriculture customers, trade loans, invoice finance, and revolving credit facilities.

Plugging into our network also gives you extra insight. Get the latest UK economic data from our Global Research team, as well as thought leadership to inform your business decisions – keeping you up to date with the latest news and key events in the UK brokerage market.

For your customers, the potential benefits are extensive. Every customer you bring on board will be allocated a dedicated relationship manager, who’ll support them on their business journey.

Together with my deputy, Chris Millage, I was instrumental in forming HSBC’s commercial brokerage proposition. We remain energised by forging relationships with brokers to help businesses grow.

And to support our network of commercial brokers we are investing in our teams. This year our team will expand with a further 10 business development managers, providing more capability to support brokers than ever before. Elena McLoughlin, one of our new business development managers, will be the point of contact for the whole Fiducia Network.
