We have had brokers report success utilizing a consumer lending platform, Fiona, to finance their program.

Fiona has 31 lenders who have financed our program before. Ensure you simply select “Other” for the loan purpose and proceed with getting offers from all interested lenders. The only thing to be cognizant of is completing the process early in order to get your funds and then making payment before you can register for the course. You may also make payment and then replenish your personal funds with the lender of your choosing from Fiona.

No. Please make sure you read this as it is by far the number one question we get. You do not need any credentials to become a commercial capital broker. Certain states do have requirements when you register your business such as surety bonds and similar requirements to other roles. This will be up to the broker to understand any requirements beyond the knowledge provided in the course.

If you are enrolled in our on-demand version, you are required to pass a quiz at the end of each stage to advance to the next stage in the course and pass a final exam to complete the course.

No. You are not involved in the transaction of any property. You are also not involved in the sending or receiving of capital. Please make sure you read this as it is by far the number one question we get. This is because you are not involved in the transaction of any property. You are also not involved in the sending or receiving of capital. A lender simply pays you a fee for referring business to them. You do not need any credentials to become a commercial capital broker. Certain states do have requirements when you register your business such as surety bonds and similar requirements to other roles. This will be up to the broker to understand any requirements beyond the knowledge provided in the course.

You are required to pass a quiz at the end of each stage to advance to the next stage in the course and pass a final exam to complete the course. All course-related assessments are untimed and have unlimited attempts. These are put in place to ensure you are trained to the caliber of broker lenders expect in the industry.

 

First, we recommend attending one of our free webinars or watching a previously recorded session.

Please feel free to contact us with any further questions you may have via the form at the bottom of this page or by e-mailing us at Info@advisorycapitalbrokertraining.com.

No. You pay a one-time fee for the course. You may choose to add additional services through your software platform. However, we make no attempt to collect any further fees or any portion of your commission.

No. You keep 100% of all commissions you generate. Your expected commission is made transparent to you in writing the moment a lender or funding partner accepts your deal.

There is absolutely no way to predict your income potential. The potential of this opportunity is only quantified by the effort you put in. We encourage you to do your own due diligence. Consider that commercial capital deals are larger by nature and the commissions are comparable based on a percentage of the amount of capital in question.

Please be wary of any business opportunity that guarantees a specific level of income without regard to the time and effort put in to grow their business.

 

For more information, you can watch our quick takes on how much brokers make.

Yes! All of our lenders and funding sources allow you to send them business directly. It is your business and you may conduct business however you would like with whomever you would like. You may also work with lenders who are not yet in your software platform.

As you may expect, we require the utmost integrity and adherence to our ethics and responsibilities. For this reason, we reserve the right to terminate our relationship without reimbursement or show of cause regardless of the situation or scenario. Society and even recent events have shown us the paramount importance we must place on equality and inclusiveness without harm or bias towards any race, religion, gender, political opinion, or other factors of societal norms.

If we feel this has been violated in any capacity, over any medium, for any reason, we may choose to terminate our relationship with you and your organization.

With that said, we have the same commitment to you to always adhere to the same ethical code of conduct and welcome the chance to always learn and become better people and partners for you and your clients.

Finally, you offer financial products and services. It is of the utmost importance that the brokers we train conduct themselves in the best interest of their customers and clients. If we feel this has been violated in any capacity, for any reason, we may choose to terminate our relationship with you and your organization.

They will...at first. Banks have very stringent lending practices and are very risk-averse. They typically only lend for specific reasons to specific clients. Banks typically only offer loans and lines of credit. These are only 2 facilities of the facilities you will be able to offer.

You will be able to offer financial facilities that clients will rarely be familiar with. You will be able to offer financing with virtually any credit scenario, cash scenario, collateral scenario, industry, and amount of time in business.

Are you aware banks will be one of your main sources of partnerships? Banks need to protect their depository accounts. They would much rather send referrals to you rather than to another bank.

Are you also aware many credit unions can only have certain percentages of their portfolio go towards commercial lending? They have accounts that need your help!

There are also Special Asset Departments (SAD) at every bank where their sole purpose is to liquidate loans that are struggling or sever relationships with companies that are struggling with their loans. If you develop relationships with SADs, they are looking to send business your way!

This is just a taste of what we cover in the course regarding networking and business development.

 
 

Yes. You own your own business. We do not control how you conduct business, we do not have quotas, and you do not share your financial information with us. You never pay us any royalties and are not required to use our services in any capacity.

Unfortunately, the BBB is not something we see any value in. It has become antiquated over time and is no longer the primary source of credibility for almost any business. This article articulates the reason most businesses have stepped away from the BBB and we agree with the essence of the content. https://www.blogmarketingacademy.com/better-business-bureau/

No. We designed our course under the premise that you have no experience and we begin with the fundamentals. The purpose of the course is to give you the knowledge and tools necessary to start and run your own business.

Think of it like this...when the banks are lending your lenders will get competitive, and when the banks stop lending your lenders will seize the opportunity. Remember, businesses are different than consumers. They must have capital to stay in business. When businesses hit a zero balance, they are out of business. Commercial private lending remains active across all market cycles. In strong markets, private lenders compete directly with banks.

In tightening markets, private lenders become even more aggressive, offering creative terms because they must deploy capital.

Commercial brokers benefit regardless of interest rate conditions, because private lending demand persists whether banks are lending or not. COVID-19 is a great business case for the commercial capital space. Not only did most lenders and funding partners see an increase in need. The country leaned on these private funding sources to aid in the SBA's PPP financial facility in order to protect the economy. You would have made 1-2% on every one of the 5 million PPP Loans you submitted for processing!

We are never willing to use the phrase "recession-proof"; no one should. However, when banks stop lending, that does not mean businesses won't need capital to keep things moving. Our funding sources thrive in these instances.

Absolutely. You can target any client you would like. Some international clients may need to locate domestic capital. Some of your clients need capital that can be used in other countries. You can help with that!

This is a part of your due diligence. Your chosen business structure is entirely up to you and your individual preferences. We cannot offer you legal advice on business structure.

Absolutely. It is very common. The amount of time you spend and your ability to leverage our technology can impact the amount of time and effort required.
