In other words what is driving you? If the thought of easy money is the key factor then you’d be better off focusing on winning Lotto.
Whilst finance broking can be a very rewarding occupation it can also be frustrating and fraught with difficulties outside your control.
In a business where the income stream is largely a month in arrears and where claw backs can occur cash flow management is a major issue.
Add to this the need to ensure that you are up to speed with the products of your chosen lenders and with legislative and regulatory requirements.
Then there is the need to make sure you maintain some type of relevant industry based on-going education/training program so your professionalism is always at its highest level.
