Broker services
Community, partners and tools
The business runs and the gaps are everything around the loans: who to outsource processing to, whose compliance product is worth paying for, and which tools are built for brokers rather than adapted to them.
What people are actually asking
- You are spending evenings on processing and admin somebody else should be doing.
- You want a compliance process that is proportionate rather than the one everyone gets handed.
- You want to know what a policy or pricing change means today, not next month.
- You are evaluating a tool and would rather ask brokers who already use it than read the vendor's website.
What is on the other end
Their offering, in their terms.
A private broker community
A members-only Slack with dedicated channels for policy updates, pricing movements and market insight, plus somewhere to put a scenario in front of people who have seen it before.
A vetted partner directory
Outsourcing, compliance, marketing, tech, lending and legal, each provider checked rather than listed. The point is not the list, it is not having to find out the hard way which ones understand broking.
Broker-tested tools
A curated toolkit with no forced platforms and no lock-ins, which is the part most aggregation arrangements get wrong.
Before you take our word for it
We are not neutral about where this goes.
Broker Sidekick is a separate business in which Nicholas Clunes holds an interest, and he is named on their own site as the technology support on the Start pathway. We are telling you that here rather than leaving you to find it. This site is paid nothing for sending you there, and there are other people who do this work.
Broker Sidekick works with mortgage brokers building their own business. This firm arranges commercial finance only and offers no consumer credit at all. If you write residential loans and a client turns up wanting to buy a business or a warehouse, those are two different doors and neither of us is standing in the other one.
