The business finance community will be buzzing today, as the Business Moneyfacts Awards finalists have just been announced. These awards are the highlight of the year for the industry, with plenty of healthy competition for those coveted trophies.

So, who will be victorious? The winners will be revealed at an evening awards dinner on 21 March 2018, held at the Royal Lancaster London Hotel and hosted by none other than Claudia Winkleman - so you'll have to wait a little while longer to find out.

These awards showcase everything from the Buy-to-Let Mortgage Broker of the Year to the Best Bridging Finance Provider, as well as the best overall Business Bank of the Year. They are not only a chance for providers to enjoy a bit of glory, but also for business customers to gauge who they may like to work with in the future.

Lee Tillcock, editor of Business Moneyfacts, comments: "Another year of political uncertainty has not stopped the continuing revival in the business finance sector. The last 12 months has proven more profitable for many businesses and as the appetite for funding grows, brokers and providers have embraced the opportunity to boost trading and growth levels.

"An air of optimism has been apparent in the business finance sector and so we enter 2018 with confidence. The 17th annual Business Moneyfacts Awards ceremony will once again celebrate and reward those who have offered the best products and services. Welcoming the opportunity to spotlight those providing support within the commercial world, the evening of 21 March will see this widely-anticipated event provide a welcome boost to those who have excelled in their specific sectors."

We wish all the very best of luck to our finalists; you can see who they are by looking through the list below.
