That's great! In fact, it's a requirement of ours that we will only onboard sub-broker partners who have at least one, verifiable, direct supplier relationship. This is to demonstrate that you are used to the expectations that come from suppliers in terms of quality and conduct when working with them.
We fit in by offering you access to a wider range of suppliers than you currently may have, a wider range of products and also commercial terms, including commission payment terms better than you have currently.
Suppliers have, in general, over the last few years, limited, reduced or restricted the number of brokers that they pay upfront commission terms to, choosing to focus this towards larger brokers who can deliver higher volumes of business. This can mean that for smaller brokers, it is difficult to access these terms directly.
As far as supplier we work with, it's probably easier to list the suppliers we don't work with! We work with over 20, including from the Big 5 and beyond. If there's a specific supplier you'd like access to, please get in touch and we'll let you know if we can help.
