At Connect, business development support for mortgage brokers is built around long-term, relationship-focused guidance. Our approach goes beyond day-to-day sales activity. Instead, we focus on building strong partnerships with appointed representatives and helping them grow with confidence through strategic, personalised support.

Our business development managers work closely with every adviser to understand their strengths, growth goals and target clients. By combining this relationship-led guidance with access to our mortgage network technology platform, advisers gain the support and tools needed to run a more efficient and profitable business.

Strategic Support for Appointed Representatives

Every adviser within the Connect mortgage network receives tailored support from a dedicated manager. These are industry professionals who understand the challenges of running a modern mortgage business.

Your manager will help you create a long-term growth plan, explore new opportunities across residential, buy-to-let and specialist lending, and ensure you always have the right guidance when handling complex cases. This partnership-driven approach is designed to help you grow sustainably rather than focus on short-term transactions.

For advisers who want to build a stronger business model, this strategic guidance becomes a key advantage of joining the Connect network.

A Partnership-Led Approach to Adviser Growth

Our network places a high value on relationships. This means you will always have direct access to someone who understands your business and works with you to achieve long-term success.

Your business development manager will regularly review your performance, help you streamline internal processes, and identify opportunities to expand your client reach. You will also benefit from close collaboration with our specialist teams, including our compliance support for mortgage brokers, operations staff and case management experts.

This strong internal support structure ensures every adviser has a team behind them, not just a network badge.
