THE ART OF ORIGINATION

Complete guide to loan officer business planning.

loan officer business plan example

At APM, we set aside time every year for strategic planning on how we’re going to succeed in the coming year, and we encourage all mortgage loan officers to do the same. The more intentional we are with what we want to accomplish, the more likely we are to achieve our goals.

complete guide to loan officer business planning

In a rapidly changing industry, you need to outline your business objectives, set strategic goals, and review and reaffirm these plans every 90 days. That’s why we encourage our loan originators to set a 90-day plan each quarter that helps them achieve their long-term goals.

At APM, we’ve built a six-step process for mortgage loan officers to craft an effective business plan:

  • Start with self-evaluation. Look back on the year and your performance both personally and professionally. We also recommend a scoring system around key areas of your business to help highlight areas of focus in the new year.
  • Know your mortgage origination numbers.
  • Look forward to the coming year and determine what you want to accomplish.
  • Set your production goals for your business.
  • Write down strategies and actions that will fuel your goals.
  • Establish personal goals and strategies for balance.

Focusing on these six areas ensures that you’re covering every aspect of your work and personal life in your strategic planning, maximizing your chances for long-term success.

We’ve created a free guide that makes loan officer business planning simple and will help you evaluate your performance and set goals with action items to help achieve them.

How to Structure Your Goals

Breaking your goal down into strategies with action items will help you achieve your overall goal. Here’s how to look at it:

  • Goals: A goal is a business objective you seek to achieve by implementing the necessary strategies to get there. Goals define the destination, help you change your mindset to get to that destination, and create the need for tactics to get there.
  • Strategies: Strategies are the stepping stones for achieving a goal. They’re the method or plan that will bring about the goal or the tactics that will get you from where you are to the end goal.
  • Action items: These are the actions you need to take to implement your strategies. Mortgage loan officers should organize action items in the order of ideal execution.

Self-Evaluation

Before we dive into the specifics of loan officer business planning, it’s time to do an honest review of your performance over the past year. So consider what went well and what you need to tweak moving forward.

  • What were your biggest business successes?
  • What were some of your biggest challenges?
  • What did you hope to accomplish but did not?
  • Did you have a satisfying work-life balance throughout the year?

Loan Officer Business Planning

First you’ll decide on your goals for each of the areas below for the new year. Then you’ll set one to three strategies for each of those goals every 90 days and identify the action items that will help you implement your strategies. 

Strategies are simply things to keep doing, things to change, and things to start. By working your strategies with this discipline, it won’t feel so daunting to come up with something new every 90 days. Possibly it’s a small adjustment to an already-great strategy that will make all the difference. 

Every 90 days, you’ll adjust as needed and plan your next 90 days. This allows you to make large goals but break down the things you need to do to achieve them without getting overwhelmed. It also builds in a specific time for you to review and reset course, which is important in the current market.

Here are the six areas to look at.

1. Strengthening referral partners (B2B)

How will you grow your relationship with strategic partners in the new year? It’s all about adding value, and here are a few of the strategies we recommend:

  • Dedicate one day per week to connect with your top five real estate agents. Also reach out to two to three new real estate agents.
  • Join a networking group to help build new referral partners and relationships in your community.
  • Invest in lead acquisition to drive new business to yourself and your realtor referral partners.

2. Prospecting for new business (B2C)

When you’re looking for new clients, prospecting and marketing strategies are key to sourcing, transacting, and earning new business. Here are some ideas we recommend to our mortgage loan originators at APM:

  • Try new marketing strategies to reach new clients. This might be adding a new social media platform, trying out geotargeted mail drops to renters, offering a free webinar on homeownership, or targeting people relocating to your area.
  • Find a niche market, and create a campaign around it. This might be a specific type of home loan, a lending product with high demand and low competition, or marketing to a specific client type. Niching down can be a great strategy.
  • Leverage video across all your marketing platforms.

3. Enhancing client experience

So much of what makes you successful as a loan officer isn’t the type of mortgage you offer. Instead, it’s the experience you provide the people who come to you for help with their loan options. At APM, we call this “Creating Experiences That Matter.”

That might translate into creating raving fans and referral partners for your business. Setting goals about the customer experience ensures that you never forget how important that is.

Here are some ways you could focus on your customer experience in the coming year:

  • Each week, take the time to evaluate the experience you’re offering your loan applicants.
  • Personalize the experience through designing memorable moments during the transaction. Determine how and where to connect, educate, and amaze.
  • Use an interactive sales presentation to drive customer engagement and make the process of getting a home loan an empowering experience.
  • Develop and implement a post-meeting follow-up plan for every new application. Ensure that you document the plan and that all team members adopt it.

There are a number of ways to improve your customers’ experience and make their transactions meaningful. The important thing is to make sure you’re tailoring the experience to what your specific customers want, and that won’t look the same for every loan officer.

4. Developing knowledge and skills

Loan officers can’t afford to take their eyes off professional development and mastering their craft. There are always additional things to learn, whether it’s new types of loans, mortgage officer regulatory guidelines, or a new sales technique. 

In today’s high interest rate environment, your expertise is what will win you business. Here are a few action items you’ll want to have on your radar:

  • Dedicate two hours per week to increase your knowledge and skill level to learn niche or new products for your business.
  • Increase your knowledge of technology features and advancements for higher adoption and efficiency for yourself and your clients.
  • Mentor with a top producing mortgage broker or business coach to learn the disciplines, practices, and tactics that bring success. Implement the learnings from these coaching sessions, and amend the strategies as needed.

5. Retaining clients and earning repeat business

Keeping the clients you already have is vital to loan officer business planning. Here are some action items in this area:

  • How much business is sitting in your database right now waiting for you to reach out? If you don’t know, it’s time to focus some effort in this area.
  • Ensure that all contacts in your database have accurate records and are signed up for automations, campaigns, and customer intelligence alerts.
  • Schedule routine check-ins with past clients, something that is consistent and actionable.
  • Spend time monthly reviewing contacts, content, and touchpoints and adjust as needed.

6. Personal development

It’s hard to do excellent work as a mortgage loan officer if you’re not also thriving in your personal life. That’s why one of our areas for loan officer business planning focuses on personal development. That includes setting strategic goals around several main areas of your life, including:

  • Physical and mental health
  • Learning and intellect
  • Improving key relationships
  • Financial security
  • Personal aspirations
  • Spirituality

There are no right or wrong answers when it comes to your personal goals. What matters is that you take the time to be intentional about what’s working and what’s not and how you can make positive changes in the coming year.

By focusing on these areas of loan officer business planning and business strategies, you’ll find that you accomplish more than you ever have before and feel better while doing it. For more help with your 2024 loan officer business plan, make sure to download our 2024 business planning book here !

Over the past 20+ years, we have helped thousands of loan officers develop business plans to grow their businesses. On this page, we will first give you some background information with regards to the importance of business planning. We will then go through a loan officer business plan template step-by-step so you can create your plan today.

What is a Loan Officer Business Plan?

A business plan provides a snapshot of your loan business as it stands today, and lays out your growth plan for the next five years. It explains your business goals and your strategy for reaching them. It also includes market research to support your plans.

Why You Need a Business Plan for a Loan Officer

If you’re looking to grow your existing loan business, you need a business plan. A business plan will plan out the growth of your loan business in order to improve your chances of success. Your loan business plan is a living document that should be updated annually as your company grows and changes.

Finish Your Business Plan Today!

If you want to grow your loan officer business, you need a business plan. Below are links to each section of your loan officer business plan template:

Executive Summary

Your executive summary provides an introduction to your business plan, but it is normally the last section you write because it provides a summary of each key section of your plan.

In it you must provide an overview of each of the sections of your plan. For example, give a brief overview of the loan industry. Discuss the type of loan business you are operating. Detail your direct competitors. Give an overview of your target customers. Provide a snapshot of your marketing plan. Identify the key members of your team. And offer an overview of your financial plan.  

Company Analysis

In your company analysis, you will detail the type of loan business you are operating.

For example, you might operate one of the following types of loan businesses:

  • Commercial Loan Officer : this type of loan business focuses on arranging business loans.
  • Consumer Loan Officer: this type of business focuses on providing loans for things such as vehicles.
  • Mortgage Loan Officer: this type of loan obtains loans for consumer to purchase real estate.

In addition to explaining the type of loan business you will operate, the Company Analysis section of your business plan needs to provide background on the business.

Include answers to question such as:

  • When and why did you start the business?
  • What milestones have you achieved to date? Milestones could include the number of customers served, number of positive reviews, dollar value of loans arranged, etc.
  • Your legal structure. Are you incorporated as an S-Corp? An LLC? A sole proprietorship? Explain your legal structure here.

Industry Analysis

In your industry analysis, you need to provide an overview of the loan industry.

While this may seem unnecessary, it serves multiple purposes.

First, researching the loan industry educates you. It helps you understand the market in which you are operating.

Secondly, market research can improve your strategy, particularly if your research identifies market trends.

The third reason for market research is to prove to readers that you are an expert in your industry. By conducting the research and presenting it in your plan, you achieve just that.

The following questions should be answered in the industry analysis section of your loan business plan:

  • How big is the loan industry (in dollars)?
  • Is the market declining or increasing?
  • Who are the key competitors in the market?
  • Who are the key suppliers in the market?
  • What trends are affecting the industry?
  • What is the industry’s growth forecast over the next 5 – 10 years?
  • What is the relevant market size? That is, how big is the potential market for your loan business? You can extrapolate such a figure by assessing the size of the market in the entire country and then applying that figure to your local population.

Customer Analysis

The customer analysis section of your loan officer business plan must detail the customers you serve and/or expect to serve.

The following are examples of customer segments: parents, students, professionals, businesses, couples, families, prospective home buyers, prospective car buyers, contractors, etc.

As you can imagine, the customer segment(s) you choose will have a great impact on the type of loan business you operate. Clearly, someone interested in purchasing a new car would respond to different marketing promotions than a business seeking equipment financing, for example.

Try to break out your target customers in terms of their demographic and psychographic profiles. With regards to demographics, include a discussion of the ages, genders, locations and income levels of the customers you seek to serve. Because most loan businesses primarily serve customers living in their same city or town, such demographic information is easy to find on government websites.

Psychographic profiles explain the wants and needs of your target customers. The more you can understand and define these needs, the better you will do in attracting and retaining your customers.

Competitive Analysis

Your competitive analysis should identify the indirect and direct competitors your business faces and then focus on the latter.

Direct competitors are other loan businesses.

Indirect competitors are other options that customers have to purchase from that aren’t direct competitors. This includes commercial banks, online loan brokers, etc. You need to mention such competition as well.

With regards to direct competition, you want to describe the other loan businesses with which you compete. Most likely, your direct competitors will be loan officers located very close to your location.

For each such competitor, provide an overview of their businesses and document their strengths and weaknesses. Unless you once worked at your competitors’ businesses, it will be impossible to know everything about them. But you should be able to find out key things about them such as:

  • What types of customers do they serve?
  • What types of loans do they specialize in?
  • What is their pricing (premium, low, etc.)?
  • What are they good at?
  • What are their weaknesses?

With regards to the last two questions, think about your answers from the customers’ perspective. And don’t be afraid to ask your competitors’ customers what they like most and least about them.

The final part of your competitive analysis section is to document your areas of competitive advantage. For example:

  • Will you provide higher value loans?
  • Will you offer lower interest rates on loans?
  • Will you provide better customer service?
  • Will you offer a wider variety of loan options?

Think about ways you will outperform your competition and document them in this section of your plan.  

Marketing Plan

Traditionally, a marketing plan includes the four P’s: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. For a loan officer business plan, your marketing plan should include the following:

Product : In the product section, you should reiterate the type of loan company that you documented in your Company Analysis. Then, detail the specific products you will be offering. For example, in addition to loans, will you provide insurance, financial advisory, or real estate services?

Price : Document the prices you will offer and how they compare to your competitors. Essentially in the product and price sub-sections of your marketing plan, you are presenting the services you offer and their prices.

Place : Place refers to the location of your loan company. Document your location and mention how the location will impact your success. For example, is your loan business located near a real estate brokerage, or car dealership, etc. Discuss how your location might be the ideal location for your customers.

Promotions : The final part of your loan officer marketing plan is the promotions section. This is perhaps the most important section of your plan. Here you will document how you will drive customers to your website and/or location(s). The following are some promotional methods you might consider:

  • Advertising in local papers and magazines
  • Reaching out to local websites
  • Social media marketing
  • Local radio advertising

Operations Plan

While the earlier sections of your business plan explained your goals, your operations plan describes how you will meet them. Your operations plan should have two distinct sections as follows.

Everyday short-term processes include all of the tasks involved in running your loan business, including processing loan applications, arranging signings, marketing your business, paperwork, etc.

Long-term goals are the milestones you hope to achieve. These could include the dates when you expect to arrange your 100 th loan, or when you hope to reach $X in revenue. It could also be when you expect to expand your loan business to a new city.  

Management Team

To demonstrate your loan business’ ability to succeed, a strong management team is essential. Highlight your key players’ backgrounds, emphasizing those skills and experiences that prove their ability to grow a company.

Ideally you and/or your team members have direct experience in managing loan businesses. If so, highlight this experience and expertise. But also highlight any experience that you think will help your business succeed.

If your team is lacking, consider assembling an advisory board. An advisory board would include 2 to 8 individuals who would act like mentors to your business. They would help answer questions and provide strategic guidance. If needed, look for advisory board members with experience as a loan officer or success being a local bank or credit union manager.  

Financial Plan

Your financial plan should include your 5-year financial statement broken out both monthly or quarterly for the first year and then annually. Your financial statements include your income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statements.

Income Statement : an income statement is more commonly called a Profit and Loss statement or P&L. It shows your revenues and then subtracts your costs to show whether you turned a profit or not.

In developing your income statement, you need to devise assumptions. For example, will you work on commission, or on a fee for services model? And will sales grow by 2% or 10% per year? As you can imagine, your choice of assumptions will greatly impact the financial forecasts for your business. As much as possible, conduct research to try to root your assumptions in reality.

Balance Sheets : Balance sheets show your assets and liabilities. While balance sheets can include much information, try to simplify them to the key items you need to know about. For instance, if you spend $50,000 on building out your loan business, this will not give you immediate profits. Rather it is an asset that will hopefully help you generate profits for years to come. Likewise, if a bank writes you a check for $50,000, you don’t need to pay it back immediately. Rather, that is a liability you will pay back over time.

Cash Flow Statement : Your cash flow statement will help determine how much money you need to start or grow your business, and make sure you never run out of money. What most entrepreneurs and business owners don’t realize is that you can turn a profit but run out of money and go bankrupt.

In developing your Income Statement and Balance Sheets be sure to include several of the key costs needed in starting or growing a loan business:

  • Location build-out including design fees, construction, etc.
  • Cost of equipment and supplies
  • Payroll or salaries paid to staff
  • Business insurance
  • Taxes and permits
  • Legal expenses

Attach your full financial projections in the appendix of your plan along with any supporting documents that make your plan more compelling. For example, you might include your office location lease or outline your strategic partnerships with local realtors and lenders.  

Putting together a business plan for your loan officer business is a worthwhile endeavor. If you follow the template above, by the time you are done, you will truly be an expert. You will really understand the loan industry, your competition, and your customers. You will have developed a marketing plan and will really understand what it takes to launch and grow a successful loan business.

Industry Analysis

The mortgage industry is expected to grow over 7% during the next five years to over $423M. This stable growth will be driven by economic conditions that lead to increased homebuyer or homeowner trust, resulting in refinancing and first-time mortgages, in addition to traditional mortgages for homebuyers. Costs may be reduced in the future, depending on supply chain issues. It is probable that, as supply chain issues are solved and more materials become available, the costs for a loan or mortgage package will be correspondingly reduced. The cost of living expenses for the median of the population in middle-to-upper economic ranges has been steady and will likely continue to be, which stabilizes and supports the mortgage industry growth. As various materials are adapted to green or environmental standards within state laws, construction supplies and new home amenities will also change, reducing the costs of homeownership, which will invite a larger pool of mortgage applicants in the process.

Customer Analysis

Montgomery Mortgage Loan Company will target those individuals and corporations in the greater region of Boston, Massachusetts in need of a mortgage or refinance package.

  • Corporations with affiliation or collaboration potential
  • Community, civic or governmental agencies with specific loan funding needs

Competitive Analysis

Direct and indirect competitors.

Montgomery Mortgage Loan Company will face competition from other companies with similar business profiles. A description of each competitor company is below.

TRS Mortgage Services

TRS Mortgage Services is a mortgage loan company based in Newton, Massachusetts. It is a direct competitor to the Montgomery Mortgage Loan Company, with the primary focus on first-time homebuyers who may have little to no knowledge of the home buying process.

TRS Mortgage Services is a C-corporation and is owned by a family group with ten siblings and cousins included on the corporate register. It has 20 employees and advertises heavily to the young adult demographic, targeting under-represented nationalities within the American home buyer statistical experience. Their motto is, “Let Us Find Your First and Last Home,” and the target audience is directed toward “security” and “safety” for homeowners in the marketing strategies applied.

Silver Estates Home Loans

Silver Estates Home Loans is a direct competitor to the Montgomery Mortgage Loan Company. The company has segmented one portion of the mortgage loan industry, however, within the mobile or manufactured home mortgage loan services arena. Manufactured or mobile homes are not typically included in federal or state buying incentive programs due to the rent payments owed on a monthly basis for the land on which the manufactured homes sit. While this fact invalidates much of the mortgage loan market, Silver Estates Home Loans and others focus on meeting that niche target market and excelling within it.

Silver Estates Home Loans is an S-corporation owned by Connie Lyn and Heidi Matthews, who started the home loan company in 2015 as a result of being unable to secure a loan for their own purposes in purchasing a mobile home. Silver Estates Home Loans now services “kit” or pre-manufactured homes, as well, whether on land that is owned or leased.

Sunnyside Home Loans

Sunnyside Home Loans is a direct competitor and is owned by Hank and Mae Marsten, who formed a Limited Liability Company as the legal entity under which it operates. Sunnyside Home Loans has targeted home refinancing, first-time buyer mortgages and second mortgages for homeowners within the Boston region. A target area is that of seniors who need second mortgages for homes with no mortgages and reverse mortgage loans for seniors who need liquid assets for living expenses. Sunnyside Home Loans collaborates with federal senior agencies and the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) to provide mortgage application education seminars and other support systems, so seniors can better understand mortgage processes. They also provide application support and expanded communication for seniors in need of comprehensive assistance.

Competitive Advantage

Montgomery Mortgage Loan Company will be able to offer the following advantages over their competition:

  • Confidential and private review by loan officers of customer applications, customer protections in place to avoid identity theft, and trust-building processes that ensure the customers are comfortable with the process.
  • Highly-experienced mortgage loan officers will conduct application preparation and present lending packages based on the client specification
  • Loan officers will assist clients with completion of mortgage applications
  • Loan officers will view or visit properties for real estate purchase or refinance
  • Loan officers will develop and maintain contact with potential networking affiliations or collaborations: realtors, developers, builders and banks or other financial institutions

Referral Marketing

Trent Hawthorn has built up an extensive list of contacts over the years by providing exceptional service and expertise to his clients. They have communicated to Trent that they kept returning for all their home mortgage needs because they were happy with the services Trent was providing as a loan officer. Once Trent advised them he was leaving to open his own mortgage loan business, they signaled their commitment to follow him to his new company and help spread the word of the Montgomery Mortgage Loan Company. This audience will be a great source of referral marketing.

Professional Associations and Networking

The pivotal area of networking will be attended to by both Trent Hawthorn and Clay Singleton, who together have over 25 years of mortgage loan officer experience. The potential for networking or joining association memberships is found in the affiliations that make sense for mortgage loan officers: real estate brokers, commercial brokers, mortgage companies, and banks or other financial institutions. These associations and networking opportunities pave the way for business, both in the immediate and long-term future.

Social Media Marketing

The oversight of social media marketing will be handled on a short-term basis by a part-time social media manager. This will include posting on social media, adding video reels, podcasts, images and other announcements that intrigue potential customers to contact the firm. The entities involved will be converted to followers on social media, who will continue to follow if material is relevant, timely and well-executed. Young adults are the largest target for this medium, and they are also first-time buyers who will be researching mortgage loans and loan officers.

Website/SEO Marketing

Montgomery Mortgage Loan Company will utilize their short-term social media marketing manager who oversees the social platforms to also design their website. The website will be well organized, informative, and list all the services that the Montgomery Mortgage Loan Company is able to provide. The website will also list their contact information and list their available interest rates and other salient information for homebuyers who are watching economic indicators.

The social media manager will also manage the website presence with SEO marketing tactics so that anytime someone types in the Google or Bing search engine, “Boston mortgage loan company” or “mortgage loan company near me”, Montgomery Mortgage Loan Company will be listed at the top of the search results.

The pricing of Montgomery Mortgage Loan Company will be moderate and on par with competitors so customers feel they receive excellent value when purchasing their services.

A quick of happenings in the industry revealed that the industry has fared well over the past five years as consumer confidence levels have risen. Favorable economic conditions and low interest rates have fueled consumer spending over the past five years with purchases of homes and cars increasing demand for mortgages and auto loans. As household spending on big-ticket items increases, demand for loans is also slated to increase.

As a result, industry revenue is projected to grow. The next five years are expected to be positive for the Loan Brokers industry as the general economy is expected to grow, albeit at a slower pace. However, the industry is expected to face several headwinds.

Over the next five years, interest rates are expected to increase, and, as a result, mortgages will become less attractive to consumers. The nature of the Loan Brokers industry gives room for it to perform well during recession. This is because, as consumers struggle during difficult economic times, they use industry services to access loans.

Though, as the economy continues to recover and consumers start to fatten their wallets, there is a likelihood that the demand for industry services will decline. Moreover, industry regulations have been increasing, hampering revenue growth and profit margins for firms in the Loan Brokers industry.

Statistics has it that in the united states of America alone, there are about 11,029 registered and licensed loan firms scattered all across the United States responsible for employing about 50,224 people and the industry rakes in a whooping sum of $12 billion annually.

The industry is projected to enjoy 5.8 percent annual growth within 2013 and 2018. Please note that this industry is open for fair competitions since no single establishment can boast of having a lion share of the available market.

A recent report released by IBISWORLD shows that the Loan Brokers industry operates with a low level of market share concentration; the top four companies are estimated to account for less than 6.0 percent of total industry revenue in 2018.

The industry is highly fragmented, with an estimated 11,130 enterprises in 2018. Big banks are increasingly excluding brokers from the mortgage origination process; and these trends are placing increased pressure on industry operators to consolidate. Larger brokerages can dominate local markets by attracting successful brokers who will benefit from shared marketing costs and larger client lists.

One thing is certain about starting a loan officer services business, if you are able to conduct your market research and feasibility studies, you are more likely not going to struggle to secure clients because there are always clients all across the United States who would need your services from time to time.

6. SWOT Analysis

Larry Pearson® Loan Broker Services, LLC engaged the services of a core professional in the area of business consulting and structuring to assist the firm in building a well – structured loan broker services firm that can favorably compete in the highly competitive industry.

Part of what the team of business consultant did was to work with the management of our organization in conducting a SWOT analysis for Larry Pearson® Loan Broker Services, LLC. Here is a summary from the result of the SWOT analysis that was conducted on behalf of Larry Pearson® Loan Broker Services, LLC;

Our core strength lies in the power of our team; our workforce. We have a team that are trained and equipped to pay attention to details and to deliver excellent jobs. We know we will attract loads of clients from the first day we open our door for business.

As a new loan broker, it might take some time for our organization to break into the market and gain acceptance especially from corporate clients in the already saturated industry; that is perhaps our major weakness. So also, we may not have the required cash to give our business the kind of publicity we would have loved to.

  • Opportunities:

The opportunities in the loan brokers industry is massive considering the number of individuals who will always need extra bucks to meet up with their monthly expenditures and even corporate organizations. As a standard and well – positioned loan broker services firm in First Avenue, Cherry Creek – Denver, we are ready to take advantage of any opportunity that comes our way.

Some of the threats that we are likely going to face as a loan brokers services firm operating in the United States are unfavorable government policies , the arrival of a competitor within our location of operation and big banks having bypassed industry operators, citing their involvement in the subprime crisis.

Despite improvements in industry performance, profit will fall short of pre – recessionary levels and that is a major threat for our business. There is hardly anything we can do as regards these threats other than to be optimistic that things will continue to work for our good.

7. MARKET ANALYSIS

  • Market Trends

If you a close watcher of the trends in the industry, you will agree that the nature of the industry gives room for it to perform well during the recession. This is because, as consumers struggle during difficult economic times, they used industry services to advance their paychecks or to get quick cash back.

Though as the economy continues to recover and consumers start to fatten their wallets, there is likelihood that the demand for the industry’s services will decline. Moreover, industry regulations have been increasing, hampering revenue growth and profit margins for firms in the industry.

Although the industry is pretty much open to startups at different levels, but it is innovation, and trusted services that usually support the growths of new players in the industry. External factors such as year conventional mortgage rate and House price index impact industry performance.

  • Mom and Pop Businesses

  • Entrepreneurs and Startups

Our competitive advantage

The level of competition in the industry depends largely on the location of the business and of course the niche of your services. If you can successfully create a unique brand identity for your firm or carve out a unique market, you are likely going to experience less competition.

For instance, if you are one of the few loan brokers in your locations whose requirements for accessing loan is simple and straight forward, you are likely going to have a competitive advantage over your competitors.

Larry Pearson® Loan Broker Services, LLC might be a new entrant, but we can comfortably comply with government regulations, we have robust relationships with lenders and we have a good reputation.

Generating Startup Capital for Larry Pearson® Loan Broker Services, LLC

II. Company Overview

Who is [company name].

[Company Name] is a new loan officer firm that is dedicated to helping its clients get approved for a mortgage so they can buy their dream home. Most people apply for mortgages online or through their bank. Online applications are determined by machines who don’t consider the human when making an approval decision. Banks are rarely any better, and are extremely picky when choosing who to give a mortgage to. [Company Name] will help clients who are struggling to get approved find a good mortgage so they can finally make their dreams come true.

[Company Name]’s History

Upon surveying the local customer base, and finding a potential office, [Founder’s Name] incorporated [Company Name] as an S-Corporation on [Date of Incorporation].

  • Find the best loan options possible for each customer
  • Fill out mortgage application paperwork
  • Set up payment plans
  • Communicate lender approval decision

III. Industry Analysis

One of the biggest issues of today is the lack of affordable housing. Many people are eager to buy a home, but can’t due to rising housing costs. Since incomes have hardly risen to meet these increased prices, very few people can afford to buy their dream home.

As such, many people are struggling to find mortgages and turn to loan officers for help. Loan officers bring considerable expertise and knowledge to the table to help their clients navigate the mortgage process. They can refer particular loans and lenders based on their clients’ credit history and increase their chances of getting approved.

Loan officers who have the greatest chance of success in the market will create a hybrid process that integrates both technology and the human touch. Many millennials and young adults prefer to use technology throughout the mortgage process. However, since they are consulting a loan officer, they will want to talk to a human at some point to discuss this important decision.

According to Allied Market Research, the mortgage industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% from now until 2031. This is an incredible opportunity for loan officers. The demand for mortgages will continue to grow, meaning that loan officers have a great chance of running a successful business and earning large commissions.

IV. Customer Analysis

  • Families : Families are the most common demographic looking for a new home. Therefore, we expect most of our interactions to be with families who are looking for the perfect home to create memories in.
  • Professionals : People in professional occupations have the income to get a mortgage and buy a home. Therefore, we expect most of our target demographic will come from professional occupations.
  • Young Couples : After young couples are together for a while or get married, they are ready to settle into a permanent home. This demographic typically doesn’t have an extensive credit history and is buying a home for the first time. Therefore, they have the greatest need for a loan officer.

V. Competitive Analysis

Top loan officers in the mortgage industry do not reach their level of success without a business plan in place. Whether you are a new loan officer or a seasoned professional lender struggling to find the success you desire, creating and implementing a business plan gives you a clear roadmap to follow to reach your long-term vision. The more you focus on your business goals, the more likely you are to achieve them. Setting time aside each year to adjust your business plan allows you to adjust your strategies and objectives to the rapidly changing mortgage industry.

Key Takeaways

  • Successful loan officers need a business plan to guide them towards their goals and navigate the changing mortgage industry.
  • A loan officer’s business plan should define their target audience and market, establish SMART goals, identify daily actions and marketing strategies, create a networking strategy, and measure their campaigns.
  • A loan officer’s business plan should include an executive summary, company analysis, industry analysis, customer analysis, competitive analysis, marketing and operations plans, management team, financial plan, and an appendix.
  • Developing a comprehensive business plan will not only help loan officers achieve their business goals, but also provide them with a better understanding of the mortgage industry and how to stand out from their competitors.

What is a business plan?

A business plan begins by focusing on where your business is today. Next, it turns the focus to where you hope to be at the end of the next year, in five years, or further down the road. Within your business plan, you define your goals and your business strategies for reaching those goals, including research that supports the strategies that you choose. By creating a business plan, you will gain an in-depth understanding of the mortgage industry, your audience and market, and how to stand out above your competition.

Why do loan officers need a business plan?

Whether you are just starting out as a new loan officer or looking to grow your existing business, a structured business plan helps create a roadmap to success. It offers you a clear picture of what is today, what you hope tomorrow will bring, and the strategies you need to implement and follow in order to achieve the business goals you have in place.

How to create a loan officer business plan?

Before you begin creating a loan officer business plan, you need to thoroughly research and understand some key areas of your business. Gaining this knowledge will help you better understand your industry and your clients while also helping to establish realistic and attainable business goals to include in your business plan. Here are some key areas to focus on while starting your business plan.

1. Define your audience and target market

The best place to begin when creating a business plan is your audience. You need to establish who your potential clients are and define your specific niche. For example, if you focus on first-time home loans, your target audience may be millennials and younger homebuyers whereas if your niche is home refinancing, your target market may be older adults. Defining and understanding your niche and target market is necessary to complete other segments of your business plan.

2. Understand your business objectives and goals

When creating a business plan, another major component to consider is your business objectives and goals. You can’t grow your business without first determining your goals. When establishing your business goals, it is important to consider the SMART method. SMART stands for specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Establishing goals based on these components will help you move forward with your business plan.

3. Identify daily action and marketing strategies

Once you have your target audience and goals defined, it is time to start creating your marketing strategy and daily objectives. When developing your marketing strategy , it is important to consider your target audience and where they are. For example, if your target audience is seniors, social media marketing strategies may not be as effective as they would be for a millennial-driven target audience.

Daily objectives are small, daily changes you can make to work towards your bigger business goals for the year. Putting these daily objectives into your regular routine help provide a roadmap toward your final destination.

4. Create a networking strategy

For loan officers and mortgage industry professionals, networking plays a vital role in business success. Developing a strategy to address how you will continue to grow and nurture your professional relationships with business and referral partners, such as realtors and real estate agents , is an important component of a successful business plan.

5. Measure your campaigns

Creating a great business plan is not effective if you don’t have a way to measure your efforts. Consider how you will measure different aspects of your business plan to gain a clear picture of what is working and what isn’t. Analytics through a quality CRM, Google Analytics, or other tracking software can help you gather and analyze data, giving you a greater insight into your efforts.

Components of business plan

Components of a basic loan officer business plan template

Once you have data gathered, it is time to sit down and create a structured business plan. Here we highlight a standard business plan template to help walk you through the process and ensure you touch on every aspect of your business.

1. Executive summary

While a completed business plan begins with an executive summary, the fact is this section is often the last part you complete. This is because the executive summary provides a snapshot of every section within your business plan. Once you have every component in the template complete, you can structure your summary.

2. Company analysis

The company analysis is a detailed explanation of the type of mortgage loan business you are operating. As a mortgage loan officer or mortgage broker, it may seem obvious that you are offering home loans. However, while you may offer a wide selection of mortgage loan offerings, this is an area where you can highlight your niche and the types of loans you plan to focus on. In addition, this section should include a brief history of the business, such as when it was started, the legal structure, and the goals that the business has already achieved.

3. Industry analysis

In the industry analysis section, you want to provide an overview of the current mortgage industry. This will likely require research and may seem like an unnecessary part of a business plan. However, that could not be farther from the truth. By researching the industry, you educate yourself on new trends and requirements. This not only helps improve your knowledge and ability to show yourself as an industry leader, but it also helps you gain insight into what marketing and business strategies may prove more effective in the current market.

4. Customer analysis

The customer analysis section is where you put your target audience and market information. Here you break down and define your target audience based on demographic and psychographic profiles that can include everything from age and gender to income levels and employment. In addition, you want to use this space to identify the needs and wants of your target audience, making it easier to identify strategies later on in the business plan that will help you better address these wants and needs.

5. Competitive analysis

The competitive analysis section examines your direct and indirect competitors. Direct competitors are considered loan agents in your local area while indirect competitors are additional places where borrowers can acquire a mortgage, such as commercial banks. When creating this analysis, you want to focus on providing detailed information on each competitor that includes the types of loans they offer, their target audience, their strengths and weaknesses, and how your business compares with these answers.

6. Marketing and operations plans

Similar to the daily actions and marketing section above, the marketing and operations strategy plan section focuses on the marketing steps you plan to take to drive customers to your business and the daily actions you plan to take to best serve your customers. This can include in-depth information on the types of marketing you plan to invest in, such as social media and email campaigns, as well as how much you plan to invest in your marketing strategies.

The operations plan focuses on the tasks involved in implementing your marketing strategies, as well as the tasks required to meet your daily operational goals, such as processing loan applications. In addition, you want to lay out your long-term business goals and how and when you hope to achieve each goal.

7. Your management team

Here is where you highlight your key management team. If you are an independent loan officer without a team, here you will focus on your information, background, and the skills you bring to the table in order to help achieve the goals outlined in your business plan.

8. A financial plan

Your financial plan includes three main components: An income statement, a balance sheet, and cash flow statements. Your income statement, also known as a profit and loss statement, shows your revenue as well as your business costs in an effort to show whether you are turning a profit or not. In your business plan, you also want to set a goal for your business that addresses business growth and how much this growth will affect the income statement.

Your balance sheets show your business assets and liabilities while your cash flow statements show how much money you have available to help grow your business.

9. An appendix

The appendix of your business plan is a place to attach any supporting documents to other areas of your business plan. This can include everything from lease agreements for your office to industry trend reports or marketing plan outlines.

How adding a business plan can help offer direction

Focusing on these tips and the general business plan template will give you the backbone necessary to create an effective business plan that will provide you with a roadmap for your future. Take the time to thoroughly go through each step and research all the necessary information. Not only will this give you the tools you need to begin reaching your business goals, but it will also provide you with a greater understanding of the mortgage industry and what you need to do to rise above your competition.
