Commercial Finance Consulting: Becoming an Academy Member

Factoring Broker Referrer

Part-Time Home-Based Industry Referrer

A referrer is a part-time “mobile creative” who has discovered commercial factoring and who, on strictly a part-time basis, connects small businesses in need of working capital with factoring companies. The factoring referrer career is an extremely low-cost, home-based business opportunity, typically requiring an investment of less than $100 or even nothing if you already have internet.

Operating a factoring referrer business is ideal for those seeking a flexible and lucrative “side gig”. By leveraging their existing networking opportunities and social media, industry referrers can generate exceptional passive residual commission income while helping businesses grow. It’s the perfect venture for today’s inflationary and challenging economy, offering unparalleed financial rewards for those simply investing the time necessary to learn more about the industry.

Requirements

  • IACFB Guide for Referers (Free at PALs)
  • IACFB LinkedIn Forums (Free)
  • Networking Opportunities
  • Social Media
  • SQL Sponsor (optional)

Professional Factoring Broker / Consultant

Becoming a Professional Freelance Factoring Consultant is more than just a side gig—it’s a true career path that offers unparalleled opportunities in the world of alternative commercial finance. While factoring is the cornerstone of this industry, professional consultants recognize the importance of mastering a wide array of financial products, including asset-based lending, SBA loans, equipment leasing, and more. Comprehensive training in these areas is essential for providing full-service solutions to clients and securing long-term success.

Professional factoring consultants approach their business as an investment in their future. This means allocating resources to develop a robust, technology-driven operation. Successful consultants invest in tools like a customer relationship management (CRM) system, expansive and feature-rich websites, and professional-grade direct marketing materials to stand out in a competitive market. These tools not only enhance efficiency but also support the modern consultative marketing techniques that define today’s factoring professionals.

Modern factoring brokers excel at building and maintaining long-term relationships—with prospects, referral sources, and existing clients. This consultative approach focuses on understanding the unique needs of each client, offering tailored solutions, and becoming a trusted financial partner. Whether it’s through consistent communication, educational content, or reliable service, professional consultants position themselves as indispensable resources in the business community.
