The Free Member Website Program
No matter how you plan to start your career in factoring or alternative commercial finance, one thing is certain: you will need a professional website to succeed. A website is your digital storefront, enabling you to showcase your services, establish credibility, and attract prospective clients. With the FREE IACFB Members Website Program, new agents and brokers gain access to a ready-made, customizable website complete with a blog, designed specifically for marketing and lead generation. This invaluable tool ensures you hit the ground running with a polished online presence, tailored to the unique needs of the commercial finance industry.
In addition to serving as a marketing hub, your website will play a critical role in client communication, education, and relationship-building. For new brokers and agents, it’s an essential platform to share valuable insights, industry updates, and solutions that address the cash flow challenges of business owners. Beyond blogging, a website allows you to integrate contact forms, collect leads, and connect seamlessly with referral sources and funders. With the IACFB’s free program, you’ll have everything you need to position yourself as a professional in the industry and build a successful business from day one.

In today’s digital-first world, having a website is no longer optional—it’s essential for success, especially for factoring brokers, agents, and referrers. A website is your primary marketing tool, serving as a 24/7 storefront where potential clients and referral partners can learn about your services, connect with you, and initiate business. But a static website alone isn’t enough. An active blog is just as critical for content marketing, networking, and relationship building. Together, these tools create a powerful online presence that not only attracts leads but also nurtures them into long-term clients.
Failing to invest in a website and blog can have severe consequences for your business. Studies show that 70-80% of people research a business online before making a decision, meaning you could lose up to 8 out of 10 potential clients without a website. Moreover, businesses that actively blog generate 67% more leads than those that don’t, and companies with blogs experience a 126% higher lead growth rate than those without. Without a website and blog, you’re not just losing visibility—you’re leaving money on the table. By neglecting these critical tools, you risk losing credibility, missing out on valuable search engine traffic, and failing to establish the trust needed to convert leads into clients. In the competitive world of factoring, the cost of not having a robust online presence is simply too high.
With the need for a business website and having a presence on the internet, which is so critically important to your success as an agent or broker, I-A-C-F-B now provides all members with a professionally designed WordPress website and blog without cost with your membership.
