Just Mortgages, the national broker firm, has formed a strategic partnership with BNI, one of the world’s largest business networking groups.
The partnership is aimed at helping Just Mortgages’ self-employed brokers and advisers within their sister company Just Wealth to develop their businesses through business referrals and access to new business opportunities.
As part of the partnership, Just Mortgages brokers will have access to a range of benefits, including exclusive access to Business Booster seminars and a dedicated Triage service to find a BNI networking group that works for them.
The partnership is seen as a cost-effective and valuable way for brokers to increase their exposure to like-minded professionals and gain referrals from a professional network.
BNI UK & Ireland’s Members have generated £520m of business for themselves and each other in the past year alone.
Ben Allkins, head of mortgages and protection for the self-employed division of Just Mortgages, said: “This is a terrific opportunity for brokers to take advance of the power of business referrals and access new business opportunities to help build their income.
“One of the main tenants of the Just Mortgages self-employed proposition is that brokers are alone, but not on their own and this is another example of how we work to provide brokers with the tools they need to thrive.

By joining BNI, brokers will increase their exposure to like-minded professionals, gain referrals from a professional network and sharpen their networking skills with exclusive member resources.”
