Your Questions Answered

Vaughans Solutions

I don’t know where to start to become self-employed or how to set up

You will receive full guidance on how to set up your company and we will introduce you to an accountant who can help you with all aspects of incorporation and tax matters.

I’m worried about income stability and financial commitments

Being your own boss does come with a degree of financial risk although being employed in the finance sector has its risks as well with regular redundancies and changes to reward packages. We can demonstrate the abundance of opportunity in the marketplace which we will help you to convert into financial returns that are typically well above employed levels should you deliver like for like performance.

I’m not sure my network will sustain enough business

We have found that even a modest client and introducer base can offer multiple product opportunities and we can show what kind of rewards can be gained to allow you to visualise what can be achieved. Also, you will have access to a basket of funders so that typically means you are able to say yes and do business more often.

I feel like I’m institutionalised and not sure I’d be successful if I left my long-term employer

The commercial broker market operates in a comparable way to most banks and funders. The only difference is that you will need to understand a wider number of lending policies, but this doesn’t take long, and you will be fully supported by the owners.  What made you successful in your employed role will quickly translate to success in the self-employed environment – remember 10 lending policies are better than one for you and your clients.

I don’t understand certain products

All members will enjoy a full induction and systems training to help you master all aspects of your role. In addition, as we operate on an ‘invite only’ basis, we are smaller than most peers so you will enjoy a close and supportive relationship with the owners who will help you. For deals that you don’t want to do there will be an opportunity to collaborate with the owners or other members and to agree a share of the reward.

I’m worried about working compliantly and opening myself up to risk of fines or losses

Our business is built around safety and reliability and our dedicated IT platform, myvaughans will make sure that you can conduct business in a secure and reliable way.

I can earn more being employed

That can be true although on a like for like lending delivery, we are typically seeing returns far higher than for employed individuals. Also, you have an opportunity to make tax and national insurance savings (subject to accountants’ advice) which can have a large material impact on your net take home pay.

I get paid holiday, medical cover, sick leave and pension contributions from my employer

Certain employers do provide a range of benefits although many of these can be obtained as a self-employed individual, paid for with excess net income as per above.

I’d be giving up a long and well-established career – what happens if I fail and I lose time, money or both?

In life most people regret the things they didn’t do rather than the things they did. Change and opportunities for growth do come with a degree of risk but we are confident that the benefits of striking out, being your own boss and being free of the corporate machine can easily outweigh the risks – many people NEVER look back.

Why move from a steady, successful and safe career where I’m ‘someone’ to going it alone where I must start again from the bottom?

The things that made you successful in the past will make you successful in the future and being an exclusive member of the Vaughans club will mean that you’re not really going it alone – indeed you will be surrounded by likeminded people who all share the same drive for success. As a self-employed director you will be a member partner of Vaughans rather than an employee you will be truly in charge of your own destiny without having any bosses to answer to.

I don’t know how to access lenders

Vaughans membership will give you unfettered access to all key funders which will allow you to meet your customers’ needs in ways you could have only dreamed off as an employee.

I don’t have the required, systems, documentation or means of transacting a deal for a customer

Vaughans membership will give you access to myvaughans so that EVERYTHING you need to trade will be taken care of leaving you free to serve your customers’ needs

I don’t know what to do about insurance or where to get it

Members will receive professional indemnity insurance as part of your monthly membership fee. Other insurances such as public liability and life cover would need to be arranged separately.

What if it doesn’t work and I have paid a joining fee and am contractually committed to a long membership subscription

It’s unlikely that things won’t work out if you are committed to making it work, that said we will be making our contracts short (1 month rolling from notice) meaning that your commitment exposure is kept to a minimum.

I don’t know how to market myself, set up a website or gain an online presence

All members will be able to utilise the Vaughans website, branding and name which will give you a professional brand and market presence from day 1.

I’m worried my customers won’t want to use funders beyond their current bank.

Many customers ‘Bank’ with the person not the Bank and we have seen that customers are delighted that they get to still deal with their favourite contact from the Bank, but that person now has more freedom and options to help than when they were employed. Vaughans will give you access to traditional High St lenders, but also to challenger banks and alternative funders which gives a wider choice for you and your customers. Not spending time on corporate activities such as annual appraisals, internal meetings and non-income related activity will give you much more time to spend helping customers directly with their needs, how it used to be in the ‘golden age of relationship banking.’

I don’t understand what my earning potential looks like or how I would be taxed

Being your own boss means that you are fully in control of your earnings whilst at the same time working at a time and place to suit you – no more 9 to 5 …

Contact us today so that we discuss your earning potential with 30+ funders, based on your current network and business delivery.

I’m not great with IT – what support will I get when I set up or if I need support once I’ve started trading.

We know that moving from a big organisation where all of this is taken care of can be daunting. We have this covered with our IT partner, Nybble who will be there to help you set up your equipment, records and files and will also be on hand at the end of the phone if you have any issues.

My customers won’t want to pay higher rates than I can currently provide at the Bank

This may be true from time to time although many customers deal with a range of funders with a range of prices and fees depending on what they need. Also, we will give you access to traditional High St lenders such as NatWest, Lombard and Lloyds so access to these rates will still be available if it is the right advice to the customer.

I’m already self employed / an AR of another Principal - how do I become a member of Vaughans?

You’ll need to check the terms and conditions of your current funder relationships and/or AR agreement although contact us for a confidential, no obligation chat around what we believe makes Vaughans a unique opportunity for individuals or companies that have already made the move to be their own boss.

For transparency we only work with commission models based on a percentage of the amount you borrow and/or a percentage of the facility service fees charged by the lender.  The percentage can vary depending on factors such as the size of the loan advance and/or complexity of your requirements. We will sometimes receive fees separately from you; for the avoidance of doubt, these sums would be confirmed in Our Terms of Business Agreement which, if applicable, will be issued to you for your review and execution prior to proceeding.
