Norton Finance is a member of a number of official industry bodies, including the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries (AMI) and the Association of Finance Brokers (AFB), and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Norton Finance was founded in 1974, with a mission to help local customers get the loans they needed. The Stringer family business started in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, as an insurance brokerage — and we’re still based there today. Originally founded as an insurance brokerage, Norton Finance has spent the past 40 years expanding our offering to our customers, branching out into a number of different types of finance. In 1987, we formed the home lending company Norton Home Loans, which has been helping customers gain access to finance for more than 30 years. This sits alongside Norton Finance & Mortgages, our brokerage arm, which helps our customers find the right finance option for their own situation. Our expertise in the industry has also helped us to negotiate some of the most difficult financial climates over the years. By adapting how we work and being committed to helping get the sector back on track, we were able to get through the financial crisis in 2008.
