Adam Tyler, chief executive of the NACFB, said the association had been working for the last year to get access to ancillary products and services for NACFB so brokers could add extra income streams.
He said: “We are delighted that in these first stages we have been able to work with such big names as Legal & General and Towergate Risk Services. Very soon members will be able to put introductions to these firms using the NACFB’s own back office software system” CommercialKeeper (CK). “
A ‘short’ version of the CommercialKeeper software called the CommercialKeeper Referral System, has also been devised which will be sent to all members and will allow them initially to introduce business to Towergate and Croner.
NACFB hopes to add others to the panel and said that it will be rolling out a training programme to all members to make sure they understand the products they are introducing and can spot opportunities.
Clare Harrop, head of specialist protection at Legal & General, commented: “I am extremely pleased that the NACFB have chosen us as their protection provider. This deal opens up new opportunities for introducers to see a significant increase in earnings.”
