Halo Corporate Finance has been shortlisted in three categories at the 2026 Business Moneyfacts Awards, reflecting the company’s sustained momentum and growing influence within the UK’s business finance sector.
The Horsham-based brokerage is a finalist for Asset Finance Broker of the Year, Commercial Finance Specialist Distributor of the Year, and Business Loan Broker of the Year — each category sponsored by major UK lenders including Novuna Business Finance and HTB.
The announcement extends a strong run for Halo, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2025 after a record year of growth, new client acquisitions, and industry recognition. Since its founding in 2005, the company has evolved from a regional specialist into a national finance intermediary, operating from offices in Horsham and Northampton with a 75-strong team supporting clients across the UK.
Director and Co-Founder Luke Hultquist said the triple nomination reflected “consistency, expertise, and ambition,” describing the shortlisting as validation of the company’s two-decade journey. “The Business Moneyfacts Awards are widely regarded as one of the most respected accolades in the UK finance industry, recognising excellence and outstanding service,” he said.
Halo’s track record includes securing more than £1 billion in funding through partnerships with over 130 lenders, assisting more than 22,000 businesses to access tailored financial solutions. The company’s leadership attributes its success to a mix of personal advisory support and scale-driven efficiency — a balance that has become increasingly valuable amid tighter credit conditions and heightened competition across the commercial lending market.
George Parker, Sales Director, said: “The triple shortlisting marks a fantastic start to the year and reinforces the company’s long-term vision: to continue scaling, investing in talent, and setting the benchmark for excellence. I’m incredibly proud of the team.”
Halo has already signalled further expansion plans for 2026, with preparations under way to relocate its Northampton base to accommodate a growing workforce and increased client demand. The company’s management expects the year to bring further diversification in its lending portfolio and new partnerships with emerging finance providers.
The winners of the 2026 Business Moneyfacts Awards will be announced on 16 April at a ceremony in London, bringing together leading professionals from across the UK’s business finance sector.
