Just Mortgages has revealed that 48 new advisers have joined its self-employed division in the first quarter of 2023.
The new cohort means the division is approaching 500 self-employed advisers, with the brokerage on track to maintain similar levels of recruitment throughout the rest of the year. Including its employed brokers, Just Mortgages has more than 650 advisers across the UK.
Through its self-employed division, Just Mortgages offers ongoing training, mentoring and compliance support, and the firm can also help expand licence options to allow advisers to support with business protection, commercial property, equity release and other later life lending.
The latest brokers have joined Just Mortgages from all over the country, with the firm revealing that many have moved from more corporate organisations and employed roles, towards managing their own business.
National director of Just Mortgages, Carl Parker, said: “It’s fantastic to see such strong recruitment levels and sustained demand for self-employed, especially given everything that has happened in the last nine months or so. It’s a real testament to the infrastructure and support package we put around all our self-employed advisers to ensure they can make a real success of it.
“[This year] has so far been a transformative year for the division with some really experienced hires and a whole new structure designed to not only better support our brokers, but provide the roadmap to reach 1,000 advisers. Add in talented new adviser blood and its certainly an exciting time to be a part of Just Mortgages.”
Through its nationwide network of both employed and self-employed brokers, Just Mortgages can advise on any client requirements, such as first-time buyers, new-build and shared ownership, business protection and commercial premises or later life borrowing, as well as wealth management through sister firm Just Wealth.
“In the current climate, advisers need to be alive to opportunities beyond just mortgage and protection,” Parker added.
“Expanding licence options not only allows firms to win more business, but deliver a real competitive advantage in their region.”
