Where the work comes from

Why referrals flow for a commercial finance broker

The warmest introductions don’t often come from cold advertising. Instead, they come from people who already work with growing businesses and property developers. This is why accountants, solicitors and commercial property agents are natural allies for any commercial finance broker, in Ongar or anywhere in Essex.

What happens on a Thursday

Members meet every Thursday between 6:30am and 8:30am, so it’s done before the working day gets going. Every week you have at least a minute to tell the room about your services. Between meetings, you’ll arrange one-to-one catch-ups to learn who makes a good referral, and we have a genuine social side too – summer BBQs, Halloween events and charity challenges.
