Where the work comes from

How referrals flow for a commercial finance broker

Your best referrals don’t often come from online marketing. Instead, they come from people who regularly work with growing businesses and property developers – usually around an expansion, a cash-flow gap or a property purchase. This is why accountants, solicitors and commercial property agents are strong referral partners for every commercial finance broker, in Brentwood or anywhere in Essex.

How our meetings work

Members meet every Thursday from 6:30am to 8:30am, so it’s done before your working day gets going. Every week you get 60 seconds or more to tell the room about your services – far more than some other networking groups give you. Outside the meeting, you’ll arrange one-to-one catch-ups to understand who makes a good referral, and there’s a strong social side too.

What it costs

Your first visit is free. If you’d like to join, all fees can be paid monthly, and there’s a 6-month trial membership to start with, which makes it affordable for smaller businesses.

Not at all. Our members come from across Essex, so a trusted commercial finance broker nearby is welcome.
