The Concept
The concept of Unity was born out of market
place activity during 1999. This year saw a period of
great change within the broker market, with many major finance
companies consolidating their stance on broker introduced
business.
The consolidation resulted in many smaller brokers losing
their facilities due to lack of volume. It also made the prospect
of establishing facilities as a new start broker almost
impossible.
The Unity concept provided an innovative method of
bringing together these smaller brokers as one entity, producing
valuable volumes from quality sources. In essence, Unity was
proposing to manage these individual smaller relationships on
behalf of the funders, to the mutual benefit of all
parties.
The project was launched in January 2000 and has proven to
be a winning formula. Since then several changes in policy and
economic conditions have created market difficulties for small
brokers. Unity has remained consistent throughout the years and
continues to support small, professionally managed
brokers.
