The London School of Business and Finance (informally LSBF) is a for-profit private business school based in the United Kingdom. It is owned by the corporate group Global University Systems. LBSF was founded in 2003 by the Russian-born entrepreneur, Aaron Etingen. By 2015 it had become one of one of England's largest private colleges. The school is completely separate from and not affiliated with the similarly-named London Business School (LBS, which is the graduate business school of the University of London), The London Institute of Banking & Finance (formerly ifs University College) or the London School of Economics.
The school has its main base in London with sites in Tower Hill and Holborn and has further UK branches in Manchester and Birmingham. It also has an international branch in Singapore. LSBF offers Master's degree programmes in management, finance and marketing; bachelor's degrees; executive and corporate training; and professional qualification training for the ACCA, CFA and CIMA qualifications. LSBF does not have degree-awarding powers of its own. All degrees are awarded by external institutions. As of 2016, its visa sponsor licence has been revoked by the UK government and it cannot any offer any courses or work placement to non-European Union students.
