Protection & commercial advisers who made the move
“I started purely as a protection adviser. Within six months, Ever North put me through commercial mortgage training. I wrote my first commercial deal — a £750,000 bridging loan — eight months after joining. That's an income level protection alone could never have given me.”
“The breadth of the commercial proposition is extraordinary. One client conversation can now open doors to life cover, business protection, an SME loan and a commercial mortgage. Every client relationship is worth multiples of what it was when I was at my old firm.”
“I was told by my previous employer that moving into commercial was too complicated for a protection adviser. Ever North proved them wrong. The training, the mentoring, the technology — it's all there. My income has tripled in 24 months.”
“Invoice factoring sounds niche until you realise how many SME owners are crying out for it. Ever North gave me the tools to find those clients, advise them properly, and build recurring relationships. It's transformed my business.”
“The SME lending market is enormous and largely underserved by the traditional broker community. Ever North put me right at the centre of it. I now have corporate clients I'd never have reached through residential mortgages alone.”

Send Your Expression of InterestFrequently Asked Questions
Do I need existing commercial experience?
No. We provide full training for every commercial product. Protection advisers with no commercial background join us every year and go on to write significant commercial business.
What qualifications do I need for protection?
A protection-specific qualification such as CF1/CF8, or equivalent. If you're qualified in life and health but want to expand, we accept a range of recognised qualifications.
How does invoice factoring work as a revenue stream?
Invoice factoring involves introducing business clients to lenders who advance funds against outstanding invoices. We train you on the process — and the introductory fees can be substantial on larger facilities.
Can I focus purely on protection and not commercial?
Yes. You can focus entirely on protection products if that's your preference. Access to commercial products is an opportunity, not a requirement.
How are commercial leads generated?
Through our introducer network, direct business development, and cross-referrals from our mortgage adviser team. You also benefit from training on how to build your own commercial pipeline.
Is the compliance process different for commercial products?
Commercial mortgages (regulated and unregulated) have different FCA requirements. We provide all necessary compliance training and our automated platform guides you through the correct process for each product type.
