According to Forbes, small businesses make up more than half of the nation’s workforce and their numbers are growing, as people increasingly want to be their own bosses and guide their own futures. In good economies or bad, over 90% of them need financial assistance but are turned down by banks. Global Financial Training Program teaches its students how to secure commercial loans for businesses that would otherwise not qualify.
Thousands of small businesses open annually, and Global Financial Training Program has helped hundreds of them. “Where we really have a heads-up over the banks is we can get deals done in 24 to 48 hours,’’ said Founder and CEO Phil Dushey.
With a one-time cash investment of $19,950, program enrollees gain access to a lucrative, recession-proof business opportunity with no royalties, territories or additional fees. Students participate in a four-day comprehensive training, during which they learn about trends in financing and the multiple types of loans that any small-business owner or real estate investor would need. Students also meet more than 20 lenders to learn about the loans in which they specialize, building invaluable knowledge and connections.
Dushey, who has more than 38 years of experience in commercial finance, not only teaches the business but also works in it, providing real-life examples to students. “You can’t teach somebody how to swim if you can’t swim yourself,” he said. “We swim every day.”
Graduates are provided with a lifetime mentor, ongoing support, marketing materials, leads, the know-how to find clients and more. Dushey explained that one of the highlights of the program is that brokers are immediately vetted by more than 35 institutional lenders nationwide. With the tools and resources provided by Global Financial Training Program, graduates can quickly earn six-figure incomes, especially because lenders pay the broker’s commission.
“You can make money wherever you are,” said Dushey, who once closed a major deal while vacationing in the Bahamas. No prior business experience is needed. “If you’re a people person,” he said, “you’ll do well.”
