Allied Business Finance has been ranked 36th in the Finance Connect Asset Finance Broker 40 Report 2026, one of the industry’s most comprehensive independent surveys of the UK’s largest asset finance brokers.
The report, published by Finance Connect in collaboration with Asset Finance Policy, expanded this year from 30 to 40 firms, giving the clearest picture yet of the asset finance brokers operating at scale across the UK market. Asset finance brokers collectively arrange around £8 billion of SME funding each year, roughly 30% of the UK’s business leasing market, connecting businesses with the specialist funding they need to invest, grow and take on new opportunities.
Allied Business Finance’s inclusion in the ranking comes just two years after the company was founded.
Brian Kilpatrick, Director at Allied Business Finance, said:
“To be recognised among the UK’s top 40 asset finance brokers after two years in business means a great deal. It reflects the trust our customers and introducers have placed in us, the strength of our relationships with funding partners, and the work the whole team has put in to get here. Rankings like this are useful because they put a number on something that’s usually hard to see from the outside, how much ground a young broker has actually covered. We’re planning to keep covering more.”

The recognition will not change our approach: providing straightforward, personal support to help businesses across a wide range of sectors secure the right funding for equipment, vehicles and machinery.
