The Australian Loan Company provides the comfort of superior compliance services and allows me the freedom to keep a strong focus on my business and my clients. I have no hesitation in recommending the Australian Loan Company to any broker seeking a competitive advantage."

Every financial year, ALCo assesses the commissions that each member has generated and rewards those that achieve a certain level. Due to the continued strong performance of my business, I have succeeded in being a conference qualifier in three of the past five financial years which has entitled me to free registration at the overseas ALCo conferences.

Being well known as an ALCo 'high achiever', I am consistently targeted by other organisations and aggregators and I can honestly say that the culture at ALCo, with their emphasis on supporting, establishing, and maintaining strong referral relationships, is unequalled. I urge any good finance broker to see the possibilities that could eventuate. You will only be limited by your own ability and your commitment to the client."

There are many educational support tools available at ALCo, such as introductory days, finance specific in-house training and the annual conference (socially terrific but no junket, believe me). All are professionally presented and educationally relevant as are the many finance specific tools and resources. The broker website, calculators and letter libraries for example, are all designed to save brokers time and assist in building their business. ALCo has thought of everything that I need in terms of compliance and sales tools and this has allowed me to develop and grow a more professional and compliant business as I am now properly resourced.

Because of ALCo I was able to understand what my business was lacking. This occurred throughout the Global Financial Crisis with minimum fuss due to the very solid support of 'my' ALCo support staff. I cannot recommend the organisation more highly to anyone seeking to build a solid professional career in the finance industry."

Rarely do you find an aggregator that delivers on their promises. Not only does ALCo take an interest in our progress, they also take an active role in ensuring our success. From assisting with the development of our business plans to providing us with the business support and training to ensure we are compliant, ALCo and PIS' business development managers also actively seek to link us with a network of business partners and referrers that provide us with a wealth of experience and business opportunities.

What makes ALCo unique in the marketplace is that there are no 'golden handcuffs'. Unfortunately, this seems to be an industry norm and makes it very difficult for brokers to change aggregators. When you have had the experience of being with a number of aggregators, you appreciate that the product and service promise that ALCo provides is second to none. I cannot thank ALCo enough for the opportunity and the support it continues to provide."

The support from ALCo across the board has also been outstanding. My business development manager works hard to ensure the fit is right between myself and key referral sources and has been instrumental in encouraging different forms of activity that strengthen relationships both with referrers and clients. Other staff at ALCo have also been more than willing to offer mentoring and assistance when needed. Encouragement regarding ongoing education and upgrading skills will ensure I maintain a credible point of difference to the industry at large.

My association with ALCo and the relationships built are the main reasons I have remained in the mortgage broking industry and the reason I achieved 'top performer' status within a short timeframe. I know it will be the first of many to come."
