Hi, can anyone tell me how I can start a business advising on commercial finance?

what qualifications are needed?

Hi Azad

Commercial mortgages are unregulated so technically no qualifications are required however there is talk that this may change in the future.

 My advice would be to go work for a commercial broker for a year or so learn the ropes and then set up on your own.  That way you will have more credibility with clients.

Hello Azad

I agree the best option would be to work for a commercial broker however in this market it will not be easy to find a commercial broker looking to take on someone, most have had to make big cuts due to the CC. However you could contact the school of finance and pay for yourself to go on a commercial mortgage course, from memory they are about 300/400 ££.

Its a tough market to be in right now but things will change and if your are qualified and look to join the NACFB you could put yourself in a very good position for when it turns again.

 
Feel free to call or email me for any advise.
