What you will be doing.
Businesses don’t always
have the money they need to get started. They need to raise
the money to get their venture off the ground.
That’s where
you come in. Business financing entrepreneurs work to help
businesses find the money to start their enterprise.
You will develop a network of lending institutions that are
trusted and known to work with small businesses. |
You can use
a phone book or buy lists with the needed information.
Contacting these institutions or visiting their websites
will give you the names of contact people.
Your clients should have a business plan that details the
business idea and future profits. Any business that you are
not sure about may not be a good risk for the bank.
Developing a list of questions for clients is a useful tool
to see if they pass your inspection as a good loan risk.
As the liaison between clients and lending institutions, you
will have the authority to deal on their behalf. Get this in
the form of a contract to avoid problems later. Getting as
many loan offers as you can gives the client choices. It
also makes you look good.
How to start. Learn all that you can about money
management and the loan process. The process is a little
different for businesses as opposed to home loans, but the
basics are the same. Know how to explain each step to the
clients.
Contracts are life saving pieces of paper. Your payment for
services rendered equals a percentage of the loan amount
that you secure for the client. The greater the amount, the
greater your commission will be.
Keeping a copy of the loan application for various
institutions is prudent. When a client tells you their
needs, you can pull out the applications you think would
best suit them.

Start up costs. A computer with a printer/copier is
essential. You will need to have loan information at your
fingertips.
If you already have these two, your costs should
lower. Filing cabinets keep all client information separate
and confidential.
A home office would go a long way to showing your
professionalism. A large desk and comfortable chairs for
clients sets the tone for a business meeting. |
These items
can be found at an office supply store or a furniture store.
Other home office essentials: a separate phone line, fax
machine and paper shredder.
Skills needed. Organization and customer service
skills are the backbone of this business. Talking to lenders
and convincing them to take on your client could take some
doing. Knowledge of loan terminology and customer wishes
work together to make you a more confident and efficient
liaison.
Marketing. This is where the customer service skills
play a role. You will have to sell yourself to the lending
institutions as a credible broker. If you have not found
loans for clients yet, talking about your business plan
gives lenders a place to start. Advertising on financial and
business websites gets your business ads seen by more
viewers.
Businesses always need money. They don’t want to spend the
time finding it and that’s where you come in. Finding and
fitting loans with the appropriate client is your area of
expertise.
