A short-term business lender has opened a training and conference centre, located on the ground floor of its head office in Melbourne.
HomeSec Business Finance opened it as a way to “give back” to the finance industry and intends for the space to be used as a small business incubator.
Joint CEO Paul Stone explained, “Over the last 15 years, we’ve had so many awesome brokers and aggregators and even some non-competing lenders who have really thrown their support behind HomeSec and have shown amazing loyalty to us.
“When we bought our new two-story office building last year, we decided we wanted to use the ground floor to give back to the finance industry.
“This idea is now a reality, with the launch of the HomeSec Business Finance Training and Conference Centre. This 80-seat auditorium is fully fitted out with everything you need to host your own fantastic client seminar, PD day, or even a training day.”
The concept was designed to encourage more brokers, broker groups, and small businesses to hold promotional and educational seminars and functions through helping to keep their costs down.
“As part of us giving back, it’s free to those loyal brokers who partner with HomeSec and any other closely aligned companies such as broker groups, broker mentors, aggregation groups, accountancy firms and any other business who works with HomeSec,” said Stone.
The facility also boasts a fully equipped film studio that can be used to create promo videos and podcasts, with a professional videographer on staff to assist.
According to HomeSec, the cost to provide this facility has exceeded $650,000 and it will permanently occupy 50% of the floor space in its building, so it is “no small gesture”.
