NETSOL is proud to announce our participation as a Silver Sponsor in this year’s AFC Autumn Conference, set to take place on November 25, 2025, in London. As the asset finance world faces seismic shifts in regulation, technology and business models, there has never been a more critical moment to engage, debate and shape the future of this industry. Our team of eight senior delegates will be on the ground for a day of rich discussion and forward looking insights.

Engaging debate: The role of intermediaries in SME lending

One of the highlights of this year’s conference is a spirited debate taking place from 5:00 pm to 5:30 pm during the event: “This House believes the future of SME lending will be direct and not via intermediaries.”

We are especially excited to announce that our Sales Director for Europe Jason Hurwitz will be taking part in this debate, representing our vision for a more efficient, transparent and technology-driven lending model. He will argue that the future of SME (small and medium enterprise) finance lies in direct relationships powered by digital platforms, rather than relying on traditional broker intermediaries.

Jason’s participation underscores NETSOL’s deeply held belief: in a world where asset finance is powered by real-time data, AI-enabled risk assessment and seamless customer journeys, intermediaries’ role must evolve and direct lending is the most scalable, responsible path forward. Be sure to catch this session; it promises to be one of the most thought-provoking ones of the day.

The webinar SME lending debate examines this same tension in depth, exploring what structural changes are needed across the broker, lender, and SME ecosystem to unlock better outcomes.

For a sharper view of why UK asset finance brokers are under pressure to modernise their operations and what technology-driven automation actually means for their survival, the blog on the digital imperative for brokers covers the regulatory, competitive, and operational forces reshaping the intermediary's role.
