What the franchise structure provides
A mortgage brokerage franchise combines an independently owned local business with a brand, operating framework, technology standards and defined support from a franchisor. The exact relationship is governed by the franchise agreement and disclosure documents.
What remains with the owner
The owner is responsible for leading the business, meeting ownership obligations, building the local team and operating within applicable licensing and regulatory requirements. Support does not remove the work or responsibility of ownership.
Licensing and compliance
Mortgage licensing varies by state and role. Prospective owners should understand entity licensing, individual licensing, responsible-person requirements and ongoing compliance before committing to a structure.
Evaluating the opportunity
Review fees, territory, support, technology, brand requirements, renewal terms and exit provisions with qualified legal, financial and regulatory advisers.
