What is broker vs consultant?
Broker vs Consultant: A broker submits your file to whoever pays them most. A consultant matches you to the right program and stays with the file.
How it works
Regulation of both is light. What matters: does the person disclose how they're paid, do they represent more than one funder, and do they stay involved after the deal closes? We disclose compensation, work with dozens of funders, and stay on the account through renewal.
