For modern-day mobile creatives and entrepreneurs seeking to launch a home-based professional enterprise, few ventures offer the flexibility and opportunity of commercial finance consulting. In fact, consulting, as a general category, is one of the fastest-growing segments of home-business startups. But what do you need to become a successful commercial finance consultant? Well…basically, you only need three things:
- KNOWLEDGE: Consultants sell knowledge…plain and simple. You’ll need to develop expertise in a variety of asset-based financial products, including factoring, asset-based lending, purchase order finance, import-export trade finance, and many other “alternative” commercial finance products.
- PLATFORM: Your “platform” assists in attracting prospective clients to your business. The cornerstone of your platform is your website, which should include information regarding your services and your credentials (certifications)
- NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES: During startup, networking is the key to a good business launch as a commercial finance consultant. First, emails will be sent to friends and family about your new enterprise. Afterwards, it’s all about successfully networking both face-to-face and on social media and this is where the work begins.
IACFB offers those seeking to enter the exciting world of commercial finance consulting the training and support necessary to launch a successful home business in this lucrative field through both an Academy subscription and a variety of support programs.
Is This the Right Career for You?
OK…Becoming a factoring broker can be a rewarding venture for individuals seeking a lucrative home-based business opportunity. As a factoring broker, you act as an intermediary between businesses in need of immediate cash flow and factoring companies looking to invest in receivables. The key to success in this field lies in your ability to build strong relationships with both businesses and referral sources. This is an exceptional home business. It allows you to leverage your networking and negotiation skills, making it an ideal fit for individuals with a knack for connecting people and solving financial challenges. Additionally, the factoring industry is thriving, providing ample opportunities for growth and financial success. However, like any entrepreneurial endeavor, it requires dedication, resilience, and a thorough understanding of the factoring and alternative commercial finance industry. Through IACFB, the costs of entering the industry are truly minimal. Still, before you take the plunge and embark on this journey, carefully assess whether the factoring broker path aligns with your skills, interests, and long-term career goals.
