We should make clear at the outset that we do
not have employees and WE DO NOT PAY SALARIES.InBLG, as the saying goes,
"what you kill, you eat".
Join BLG as a member
We members of BLG are all former
senior bankers who get on well with each other. We are building a
good reputation in the market, which is why we have to be very selective
about people who join us.
So if we don't pay salaries, why
might you want to join us? In no particular order:
Cross selling. Within BLG each of us tends
to specialise. You can provide the services you want to provide
yourself, and call in colleagues to do the rest, in return for
an introducer's commission.
Similarly, colleagues may refer clients to
you.
You can sell in BLG's name, using this web
site as your brochure. Experience does show this can help.
We provide stationery, business cards, and
brochures, as well as our reputation and track record.
Camaraderie and advice. Not to be underrated!
If there's a mistake to be made, someone in BLG has probably
already made it.
Who are we looking for?
We are a small organisation and we are only looking
for a few people. Broadly speaking you should be
A generalist in a part of the country where
we are not strong; or
A specialist in a particular service. This
could be a service we don't offer at the moment. But if we already
offer your expertise, don't despair. In some of them we are
fully resourced, but in others we would like to recruit someone
else, or we have a succession issue.
To be a member, you must have a strong track
record in UK banking and finance, and be ACIB qualified.
Or become an introducer
You may be working full time in another role,
perhaps as an IFA. Or you may have retired and know businesses which
want our services, but you may not want to do any of the work yourself.
Register with us as an introducer, and we will
pay you commission for any business you bring us (at a lower rate
than we pay our members).
You won't be able to sell in our name, but this
also means you do not have to have the ACIB.
What does it cost?
Registering as an introducer is free.
Members pay an annual fee in three figures. BLG
also retains a proportion of earnings, but there is an annual cap
on retentions at quite a low level. We are not a hard nosed rip
off franchise operation - it is not our style, and the quality of
people we want wouldn't stand for it.
What next?
Please browse the site. If then you would like
to talk to us, please call on 01707 663887. Or you can use
our form - tell us why you are interested in us, and why we
should be interested in you!
Thank you for reading this far, and we hope to
hear from you.
