Darren gathered a good impression of what AFS represents and offers for brokers through speaking to our Group Compliance Director, Mike Geddes. Darren was drawn to becoming a Franchisee because of the benefits of feeling more independent. Liking what AFS has to offer, such as having access to multiple funders, the Finance Broker Academy and being a part of a growing organisation with the freedom to continue trading under his own brand, Copious Finance Limited.
