For years, the IACFB Academy has been the go-to training resource for new and aspiring factoring brokers—delivering world-class education, marketing know-how, and field-tested tools for those ready to launch or grow a commercial finance consulting career. But success in this industry requires more than lessons and coursework. It requires community. It requires advice at the moment you need it. And it requires a place where new brokers can ask questions, compare strategies, and learn directly from those who have already walked the path.
Today, that missing piece arrives.
Welcome to the ACFB Academy — Members Forum (Private)
A dedicated, members-only discussion group designed exclusively for active Academy trainees, subscribers, PAL Associates, and experienced brokers committed to advancing their expertise. This forum is more than a simple message board—it’s your new operational headquarters for peer-learning, mentorship, idea-sharing, and continuous professional development.
Why a Private Forum? Because Every Broker Needs a Support System
Launching a career in factoring can be overwhelming. Even with the Academy’s robust training, questions arise daily:
-
Which factors work best with construction deals?
-
How do I present myself at my first Chamber of Commerce event?
-
What do I say during that initial cold call?
-
How do I build a referral network that actually produces?
Until now, these questions often surfaced in emails, sporadic LinkedIn conversations, or during coaching sessions. The new Members Forum gives brokers a central place to ask, learn, and interact with others who truly understand the journey.
This is the kind of collaborative environment that accelerates development. It shortens the learning curve. And most importantly, it increases your chances of landing those first few clients—the ones that change everything.

Why This Forum Matters — Especially Now
The commercial finance and factoring industries have never been more important to America’s small business economy. With layoffs rising, credit tightening, and banks pulling back, thousands of small business owners are seeking new avenues for working capital.
This is the moment factoring brokers step in.
But opportunity doesn’t automatically produce success. Success belongs to brokers who take action, ask questions, and continuously sharpen their skills. The Members Forum is designed to help you do exactly that.
It is a place to:
-
Build confidence
-
Get clarity
-
Stay motivated
-
Apply what you learn

You’re not just learning how to become a factoring broker—you are developing a career that can pay you year after year through residual commissions. And in this profession, even a single referred client can change your financial trajectory.
