Setup Your Broker's Directory Listing
One of the most essential tools for IACFB members is the new “searchable ” Factors and Lenders Directories” at www.lendersdirectories.com. These directories provide you, the broker, with hundreds of broker-friendly factors and lenders that will pay you fees and commissions for your client referrals.
In addition to this valuable resource, the new searchable directories provide you with your own listing as a broker and consultant. Many business owners prefer to work with a “Local Broker” rather than a lender located hundreds of miles away. The directories allow you to post a listing with links to your website and more. Your listing also allows you to reference your “certification” so that prospective clients know they are working with a true professional.
Add Your Directories Listing
The IACFB’s Directory of American Factors and Lenders is an important resource for all referrers, brokers, and consultants. Its recent upgrade to become “searchable” by our members means you will be able to locate a ready finance source for your prospects and clients every time.
Additionally, however, the new searchable directories provide a member’s listing for their consulting business that assists them in marketing for prospects and also recognition for their professional certifications.
When seeking alternative finance for their business, many owners would much prefer to work with a local professional who has the option to meet face-to-face rather than a lender hundreds or even thousands of miles away. The searchable lender directories allow business owners to not only find sources of funding within a reasonable distance but, more importantly, can find a broker locally so that a meeting can quickly be set up to provide a financing solution.
Of course, your listing on the directories provides a direct link to your business website. However, it also provides valuable information about your expertise in preferred industries and also IACFB certifications for important financing products. Your directory certifications provide your prospects with a high level of confidence in your ability to provide much-needed financing when required.
All IACFB members with a website can obtain a free directory listing, which provides them with complete control over updates and upgrades. View the lessons below to access complete instructions on how to add your listing to the directories.
