You have already built the experience, relationships and client trust. Momentum gives you the compliance, market access, systems, funding and practical support to turn that experience into a brokerage of your own, without giving up control of your clients or your future.
The questions behind the decision
Starting a brokerage is not a decision experienced brokers take lightly. The biggest concerns are rarely about capability. They are about timing, financial security, client movement and whether the support promised by a network will work when it matters.
Moving from a salary to business income can create a genuine short-term gap, particularly while covenants are still active. Momentum can help you plan realistic cash flow and explore funding designed around how a new brokerage actually develops.
Restrictive covenants and notice periods affect every move differently. We help you understand the practical timeline, build a compliant launch plan and prepare the business to grow while client relationships become available.
Your brokerage remains the client-facing business and you continue to manage the relationships you build. Momentum provides the regulatory framework and infrastructure behind the brokerage rather than replacing your role with the client.
You remain responsible for understanding the client, providing advice and leading the relationship. Momentum’s specialist Broking Team normally manages the broking and market placement process, using the appropriate route for the risk.
Where an agreed placement route is appropriate, particularly for specialist business, this can be considered as part of understanding your proposition and market requirements.
This is a long-term partnership, not simply a route to authorisation. Support can extend across compliance, broking, claims, systems, marketing, funding and business planning from launch through to growth.
