The sponsorship deal is part of the specialist lending group’s ongoing commitment to supporting the local community with a focus on sport, health and education.

Harwinder Singh, founder of Kuflink, said it was excited to sponsor the Vanarama National League side.

“We look forward to working closely with [the club] on a number of local community and commercial ventures.

“I would like to thank the team at Kuflink, who worked closely with the club to strike the deal for what is a fantastic opportunity for both Kuflink and Ebbsfleet United.”

“I would like to thank all of the team at Kuflink for the confidence they have shown in the club by entering into a long-term agreement and all of us look forward to working with them on a range of community and commercial initiatives.

“It will be nice to work with a company that has such a strong community focus and shares our core values.

“I must also thank Dave Archer [director at Ebbsfleet United] and his team for negotiating such a prestigious agreement to coincide with the opening of our new £5m main stand.”

Kuflink’s sponsorship follows the ongoing support the Alpha Foundation – set up by the lending group’s founders – has provided to the local community over the past 10 years.

The charity has worked closely with Kent County Council and Gravesham Borough Council to establish the Grand, which provides opportunities and amenities for the local community.

The Kuflink Group comprises Kuflink Bridging and its peer-to-peer finance arm Kuflink Ltd.
