How is a Credit Score Calculated?

How is a Credit Score Calculated?

January 18, 2019
, , , , , , , Dale Guiducci 0

Over the years in my blog and in videos I’ve talked a lot about two topics. First, that credit repair, although it’s a great service only accounts for 35% of a credit score. We do a great job with credit repair but we also provide our clients with other services. These other services help a client with 100% of their credit score. The second topic is that we educate our clients on credit and how to have a great credit score. That way they can maintain that score on their own for the rest of their life. So, let’s get into discussing how is a credit score calculated.

Your credit score is the most important part of your financial life. In this economic climate your credit rating matters more than ever. Lenders look at it when you apply for a loan, credit card, mortgage or other type of credit. What they are doing is looking at how credit worthy you are.

How Is a Credit Score Calculated?

Payment History (35%) – The biggest factor in your credit score is your payment history. It composes 35% of your total score. The payment history factor is looking to see if you have paid your bills on time in the past. And, it indicates whether you are currently behind in any of your bills or not. Some late payments, such as mortgage lates, have more of an impact on your credit score. Your mortgage is a major rpriority to keep current. Payment history is the biggest factor for how a credit score is calculated. Therefore, it should be the biggest priority to not have late payments or past due accounts.

Outstanding Debt (30%) – Outstanding debt is what you still owe on accounts. It makes up 30% of your overall credit score. This is based on the amount of available credit you have versus how much you are using.

There are revolving credit accounts and installment and mortgage accounts. Installment and mortgage accounts are based on the original loan amount versus the amount still owed. Auto loans also fit into this category. These type loans have a set monthly payment over a specific period of time. Revolving credit is generally credit cards. This is looked at with regard to the credit limit versus the amount owed. The best practice is to keep the balance below 30% of the limit on the account. This will make the biggest positive impact on your credit score.

Length of Credit History (15%) – This category reflects how long your accounts have been open. Also it looks at the length of time since the last activity on the account. The longer an account is open and current the better impact to your credit score.

Type of Credit (10%) – It’s beneficial to have a mix of different types of accounts. For example, a mortgage, an auto loan, 2 major credit cards, and 2 store or gas cards. The caution here is not to take on more debt for the sake of your credit score.

Inquiries (10%) – There are two types of inquiries that appear on your credit report. Inquiries that you authorize to obtain credit, or hard inquiries. And, promotional, or soft inquiries. Too many hard inquiries in a short time can negatively impact your credit profile. However, inquiries that occur for mortgage and auto loans prior to 30 days from scoring do not affect your score. Also, if multiple auto loan inquiries occur within a 14 day period as treated as a single inquiry. Promotional inquires do not affect your credit score.

To build a good credit score or to more positively impact the score that you have, it’s important to understand how is a credit score calculated. For more details watch our brief video above.

Financial Education Services – Learn the Business from a Top Producer

January 14, 2019
, , , , , Dale Guiducci 0

Financial Education Services or FES, is a well established company in the financial services arena. Its core product is the Protection Plan. The Protection Plan is a set of credit centric services revolving around credit restoration or what the public calls credit repair.

About Financial Education Services

Financial Education Services (FES) has a unique direct sales business model where individuals become independent Agents and sell the FES services. FES Agents also have the opportunity to build a team of Agents. This gives them the ability to do far more sales and earn far more income than they could on their own.

The advantages of FES over starting your own credit repair business are many and are addressed in another blog post. In this post I want to discuss the best way to learn this business if you want to get started as an Agent with FES.

Learn the FES Business from a Top Producer

The best way to learn this business at a high level is to learn it from someone that has reached a high level. Often people take advice and try to learn from people that haven’t achieved what they are trying to achieve. That makes no sense. So, this logic holds true for learning the Financial Education Services business.

Who is Dale Guiducci in FES?

In order to establish my credibility with you, even though it’s not typically the way I like to operate, please allow me to share some of the accomplishments I’ve had with FES.

I have been in the top 5 in sales 5 years in a row. One year being #1. I have been in the top 5 in building my team of Agents 5 years in a row. The Most Valuable Agent award was presented to me in 2017. I have also received the Outstanding Achievement and Leadership Awards. And I have either been in the top 5 or won every company sponsored contest 5 years in a row. In addition, I was named a trainer for the company and spent nearly 3 years traveling the country training thousands of FES Agents. And, I am a Vice President and member of the prestigious R&R Club. OK enough of that.

ERA Credit Services

Before I get into sharing our training program (personal and FES training) let me talk about the name of my independent agency with Financial Education Services. When most people become Agents they simply use their own name. I decided to brand a company name for my agency, ERA Credit Services. So, if you were to go to YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn or even my website you would see the name of ERA Credit Services. FES or Financial Education services, is not mentioned often and is not mentioned on our website at all. There is a strategic reason behind it that I can explain more in detail if we ever get the chance to discuss this business.

Building the Financial Education Services Business

In general, you can build an FES business 2 ways. And, you can combine, as I have, both of these ways. You can build it organically, meaning without paid advertising. And you can build it through paid advertising. I have done and continue to do both. Therefore I can teach you how to do both but with a disclaimer.

If you have an advertising budget and are familiar with online tools such as sales funnels, social media and Google Ads this is a great way to go. However, your budget and your knowledge have to be extensive. I cannot, nor can anyone else that’s busy running their own business, teach you Facebook, Instagram, Google Ads and sales funnels from scratch. Again, you have to bring a certain level of experience in these areas to the table.

Anyone Can Learn the FES Business

However, you do not need to have any level of significant experience to learn this business and build it organically (without paid advertising). This is an area that I have flourished in and so has my team. There are very specific methods of procuring customers and agents that I can teach you. There is a system with tools that I have developed for my team that I also teach and that each agent on my team has access to.

The FES Success System of Training

FES has developed a top notch online training program. It will teach you the basics from getting your website and services set up to using their mini sales funnel called FES Connect. A huge benefit to this online training program is that it’s flexible for our agents. They can access the training anytime of the day or night so it really helps those agents that have a full time job and a family.

 Coaching Calls

I take a personal interest in the success of each agent on my team. Immediately after an agent joins FES we set up our 1st coaching call. From there my FES agents have a link they can use to schedule coaching calls very week if they like. They also have my cell phone and know that I respond to calls and texts very quickly.

Weekly Live Training

In addition, I conduct live training sessions every week through Facebook Live and our private team Facebook page. I cover different topics each week about sales, recruiting, credit repair, customer service and more. Facebook is a great platform for this as any previous Facebook Live can be viewed by new and veteran agents on their schedule.

What Else Do You Need to Be Successful With FES?

Financial Education Services and I will provide you with everything you need. However, each new FES Agent has to bring with them a sincere desire to succeed and a willingness to get outside their comfort zone. They also have to be coachable and okay with learning new business strategies and letting some old philosophies go. And finally, they have to have a strong work ethic that is commensurate with the kind of success they want to achieve.

Part Time and Full Time Agents

What I love about the FES business is that people can earn a steady part time income of between $500 and $1,000 a month or they can earn a significant 6 figure income. They only difference is the time and effort that they put in.

Free Credit Repair

Free Credit Repair

You may want to start credit repair but you don’t have the money in your budget. Isn’t that the same reason perhaps that you need credit repair? Maybe some unexpected expenses came up along the way causing other bills not to get paid. Well, what if you could get free credit repair? And, maybe make some good part time income?

It’s true that you could repair your own credit. But have you tried it? It’s not easy and most people are unsuccessful after months of trying. Plus you can’t earn income fixing your own credit.

Of course, just like any other company we can’t repair your credit for free without some commitment on your part. But do you know others that need credit repair? Or, are you willing to learn how to find people that need to get their credit fixed? And, isn’t it possible that some of those people would want to get free credit repair too?

Free Credit Repair – Our Affiliate Program

We have developed a credit repair affiliate program for the average person that just wants to get their credit repaired for free and perhaps earn $300 to $500 extra or more per month. There is no major training or licensing required.

Can you do some posts on Facebook?  Can you let your friends know that you are helping people get their credit fixed? Do you have a customer base from another business?

free credit repair
Or, if you go slower and just find 1 person per month you’ll get free credit repair and start earning a profit in the 7th month.

What do you say to your friends or post on Facebook? Keep it simple. Something like, “Hey I just wanted to let you know that I started a side business from home. I can help people get their credit fixed. If you know someone that needs a higher credit score because they’re trying to buy a home or a car, just let me know. By the way do you know someone in the real estate or mortgage business?”

If you already know people in real estate or mortgage you could get your 5 customers very fast. Real estate and mortgage agents turn people away everyday because of a low credit score. Just have a conversation with them and let them know what you do.

What If People Have Questions?

People might want to know exactly how credit repair works or how we are different than any other company. We have videos that will explain that to them. In fact, we have a video that will explain all the details about our credit repair service and Affiliate Program to you right now. Watch this!

Fix My Credit- There Are Two Ways to Do It

December 29, 2018
, , , , , , , , Dale Guiducci 0

American consumers are waking up to the fact that going through life with a low credit score and having poor financial health, is going to impact their quality of life almost as much as their physical health. It seems that everyone wants to know how to ‘fix my credit’ and recover from the mistakes of their past.

The good news is you can recover and restore your credit score and financial health in two ways.

Fix My Credit

The first is to remove, as much as possible, negative items from your credit reports with Experian, Equifax and Transunion, the 3 major credit reporting agencies. There is a specific process governed by federal law that can assist in removing erroneous, obsolete and unverified items from a consumer credit report.

By law, a consumer has the right to fix my credit themselves through the major credit reporting agencies (CRA’s). However, this process is a major expense to the bureaus and does not generate them revenue. Therefore, within the boundaries of the law, they have put up some roadblocks for consumers in making this process accessible while at the same time making it seem very accessible.

That is why credit restoration companies exist. To help consumers navigate through the process and take the burden of time and expertise off consumers. Just like many things we can do ourselves such as work on our own cars, replace our own hot water heaters, etc., it just makes sense to pay someone else who has more expertise to fix my credit for us. So, removing negative or derogatory items from our credit reports is one way of improving our score. And, that is always the first step in improving our credit score.

Fix My Credit – What Else Can be Done Other Than Credit Repair?

Whether we do credit repair ourselves or work with a professional, credit repair impacts just 35% of our credit score. What about the other 65%? Amounts owed, types of credit, length of credit history, and new credit all impact our credit score.

We educate people about how to fix their credit & offer services and solutions.

That is where our company has concentrated its efforts over the past few years and now offers a suite of services at a very affordable rate (just $89/month) to not only restore a consumers score by attempting to remove negative items but educate them on how to proactively increase their score as well.

Here’s a list of services and solutions we offer:

  • Credit Restoration
  • Online Credit Monitoring- See an updated credit report and credit score 24/7
  • Education on Attaining a Positive Credit Score
  • An Attorney specializing in trade line removal and creditor harassment
  • Debt Payoff- a service that teaches consumers how to pay off their debts in up to half the time
  • Identity Monitoring
  • Document Security and Organization- identifies and records the location of all one’s important personal & financial documents
  • And, several money-saving services as well.
  • Restoring a credit score is important, or course. But getting serious about improving and securing one’s complete financial health is imperative in today’s economy.

Fixing your credit is different than fixing someone else’s credit. That’s because what’s on your credit report is different than anyone else.

Credit Repair Near Me

Credit Repair Near Me

, , , , , , , Dale Guiducci 0

Research tells us that one of the most popular search terms on Google is ‘credit repair near me’. The obvious conclusion therefore is that those in need of credit repair want to work with a local credit repair company. That’s understandable. Working with local companies and business owners is usually preferable.

The typical reasoning is that there is comfort in knowing the person or people taking on this responsibility are within driving distance. You can physically see them versus just having a phone number to call that in our minds, may or may not be answered.

The credit repair industry is different than other financial industries

First, there is no licensing required by any state or the federal government for providing credit repair services. That means that many people claiming to be in the credit repair business may not have the expertise you need. The problem here is that you most likely don’t know what expertise you need either.

Second, small, local companies typically have not invested in the technology larger companies have. It’s important that you as a client have online reporting of the progress of your credit repair. Otherwise even though you may have met this person the first time you’ll be calling all the time to find out what’s happening. Or, you’ll be faced with driving other to their place of business continually.

A Credit Repair Company Near Me

The best solution is to find a credit repair company that is large enough to provide the service you need, the technology required, and the experience to increase your credit score. While at the same time provides you with the service and comfort level of a small, local credit repair company.

ERA Credit Services helps people in all 50 states improve their credit score. We’ve been in business since 2012. We’re partnered with companies that have been in business since 2004 that have an A+ Better Business Bureau rating and are nationally certified.

A Nationwide Credit Repair Service You Can Trust

There is Simply No Better Credit Repair Company Out There

Credit Repair Business – The Reality

December 17, 2018
, , , , , Dale Guiducci 0

It’s a Great Business But…

The changes in the American economy over the last 2 decades have created a huge market of consumers in need of help with their credit report and increasing their credit score. As a result, many people have decided to look into starting a credit repair business.

But just like any other business, if you have never attempted starting a credit repair business before there is a lot of information to gather and knowledge necessary to do it the right way. The credit repair industry, like many others, has a high percentage of people that start the business and quit within the first year. Why is that? And how do you avoid being one of those people? This article will cover the points you need to consider.

Laws and Licensing

There are no licenses you need to have to be in the credit repair business. However, you do have a few laws you must consider. And, these laws may be different in each state. The Credit Restoration Organizations Act (CROA), a federal law, states that a for profit company cannot charge fees before performing credit repair work for a consumer. Although many have come up with creative ways to deal with this law it will affect cash flow for a new business owner. However, attorneys, banks, credit unions and 501(c)3 non-profit companies may charge upfront fees. They are exempt from CROA.

In addition, certain states require surety bonds up to $100,000. Bonds will run you between $1,000 and $10,000 every 2 years depending on the surety amount and your credit score. Yes, credit score affects just about everything.

Fees for Service

In addition to deciding how you are going to charge for your credit repair services (if you cannot charge upfront how are you going to charge?) you must also decide how much to charge. Gone are the days when you can charge $1,500 to $5,000 for credit repair services. There are established, reputable companies that charge $90 to $125/month for a very effective service. You’ll have to compete with that when starting a credit repair business.

Initial Investment of Starting a Credit Repair Business

There are typically two ways to go with starting a credit repair business. The first is to purchase all the necessary components such as software, a web site, legal documents, training, etc. separately. We’ve estimated this cost to be about $10,000 in the first year although these items can be purchased on a monthly basis. The other way to go is to purchase a franchise. The investment in a credit repair franchise is between $19,000 and $25,000. Don’t be discouraged if you do not have $10,000. We will give you a third alternative below that has a start up cost of less than $300.00.

Technology

Consumers today expect that a company will have technology in place to allow them to stay in touch and keep track of what’s happening with the progress of their credit repair process. You must provide your customers with the ability to check the status of their account online to be competitive in this industry. Doing this as solopreneur may be an expensive and daunting task.

Skill Sets

If you’re doing it alone in this business you have to be good at three things, marketing, sales and administration. You have to be a good marketer. Selling your credit repair service to friends and family may get you started but you must position yourself as a credit repair expert in your area. You have to get the word out in the community by developing relations with other business professionals that may have clients that need your service. You must have an online presence as well. Not just a website but the ability to drive traffic to your web site. You need to have leads coming to you every day.

Then you have to be great at sales especially when you’re new because you have no track record or credibility to fall back on. You have to sell against local and national companies that your prospective customer is going to contact as well. Even if your company has the same credentials and advantages as other companies how good are you at selling and closing sales?

Lastly, you have to be good at credit repair. Can you pull credit reports (credit report brokers don’t want to supply credit repair companies) and analyze those reports. Do you know how to advise the client as to the probability of removing all types of items (foreclosures, liens, charge offs, medical bills, repossessions, late payments and more). You then have to know the correct dispute codes and reasons that a credit bureau will open a dispute about these items. Then you have to track this information and be prepared to challenge each item multiple times for a client. This is no easy set of tasks.

Time

You have to have time to do all that is stated above when starting a credit repair business. Credit repair business owners can’t find time to develop new customers because they are doing the credit repair work for their existing customers. Or, they can’t find the time to service the customer because they are trying to develop new customers.

The Solution

Everything stated above comes from experience. It seems daunting, and if done on your own it is. However, we have developed a system for new credit repair business owners that addresses and overcomes everything we have discussed here.

All the state laws and requirements are met. You can do business in ALL 50 states right away.

There is a low initial investment of less than $300.00.

This system provides the latest technology for you to offer customers.

There is an online training platform and one-on-one credit repair business coaching.

You utilize a staff to do the credit repair admin work. This allows you the time to market and sell to customers.

In addition, you’ll provide the best, fastest, and most effective credit repair service in the industry.

But the best component to this solution is that you can develop other people that want to build a credit repair business. They are part of your business and you earn income from their production.

It is without question the best opportunity for anyone that desires to start a credit repair business.

Credit Repair Business – The Reality
Starting a Credit Repair Service? What to Consider

Starting a Credit Repair Service? What to Consider

December 17, 2018
, , , Dale Guiducci 0

We’ve discussed before in a previous blog post, Start a Credit Repair Business for Under $300, that typically there are two options when starting a credit repair service. The first is to purchase a credit repair franchise. The other is to piece it all together and buy all the necessary components to begin your business in the credit repair industry.

Of course, that previous blog post goes on to share how you can become an Independent Agent with our company and have the best of both worlds. You can own your own credit repair business but not have to start from scratch. Everything is provided for you for under $300.

Important Questions to Ask Yourself

There is another important decision to make, however. Actually it’s a question you have to ask yourself. The answer to this question will dictate what direction is the best for you to follow. The question is, “why are you getting into this business?” This is a simple question with a complex and very valuable answer. Typically people get into credit repair for one of two main reasons, or both. They want to help people, and/or they want to make money.

If you want to do either or both you must then ask yourself how many people do you want to help? And, how much money do you want to make? If the answer to either of those questions is a lot, or a significant amount then here is the stark reality of this business. You can’t help a lot of people nor make a lot of money on your own and by yourself.

Time and Money

In order to help a lot of people in the credit repair business you have to have the time and skills to market and sell your service, and do the administrative work on the back end once you get the clients. The time to do both is almost always under estimated by people that have no experience in this industry.

On top of that you have to charge a reasonable fee. The days of charging $1,000 or more for credit restoration are over. There are too many companies out there doing it for far less. But if you compete for business charging a similar small fee you won’t have enough revenue coming in to make it work.

What’s the Answer – A Third Option

There is an answer when starting a credit repair service. Have a network of people running their own credit repair business and get paid a percentage on what they do. They can find customers that you can’t. They can develop relationships in their business community that you can’t.

Our staff does all the credit repair work. Did you catch that? Our staff handles all the admin work so you have time to get more customers! You don’t have to pull and analyze credit reports, and draft dispute letters. By the way, trying to find a company that will supply you with credit reports is next to impossible in the credit repair industry.

While running your own local business you can also build a large operation on a regional and even national scale. This is a concept that any successful company utilizes. Your income then is not just dependent on your own efforts. It’s now derived from the efforts of many others.

Starting a Credit Repair Service – Training

When starting a credit repair service there has to be training available, right? Not only for you, but your network of others building their business. Where will you find credit repair customers? How can you find other people that want to start a credit repair business? How do you talk to these people?

Our company has put together a great training platform. First, we offer an online training program that is flexible. You can go as fast or as slow as your schedule allows. Then you’ll be coached by me, Dale Guiducci. I have developed a credit repair business producing over $1 million in revenue annually. I will teach you the day to day, “in the trenches”, what it takes to be successful in this industry. In addition I do a live training once a week that you can watch as it’s filmed or on replay.

Something Else to Consider

Another factor to consider when starting a credit repair service. What are the laws in your state regarding credit repair? Do you have to register with your state and purchase a bond? By becoming an Independent Agent with our company you don’t need to worry about any of this because we have taken care of all state requirements. You can do business in all 50 states.

If you consider everything you should before entering the credit repair industry you’ll see that our business model is brilliant. It offers you everything you need to build a small or very large credit repair business. You do not have to invest a fortune. You do not have to deal with all the regulations and laws governing the industry. And, you’ll have time to develop a steady stream of customers. You can be in business today.

Local Credit Repair Company – Why Choose Local?

December 16, 2018
, , , , , , , , Dale Guiducci 0

With today’s technology business can be done across the country and even across continents. So any reputable credit repair company should be able to provide service to clients here in the Tampa Bay area.  That’s assuming they have met the state of Florida mandated requirements or are exempt from those requirements.  So why choose a local credit repair company?

Why Choose Local?

There is a certain comfort level when dealing with a local credit repair professional. It helps if they are members of local organizations and have a presence in the community. Also, you get a sense of community spirit from supporting businesses that pay local taxes and generate revenues that are put back into your community.

The Downside of Local Credit Repair

However, in the credit repair industry local doesn’t always mean better. There is no licensing in our in the industry. Therefore people don’t have to prove they know what they’re doing before they begin doing it. That’s not good if they are doing it for you. If you want to do business with a local credit repair company do just a little homework first.

ERA Credit Services – A Local Tampa Bay Credit Repair Company

Local Credit Repair Company – Why Choose Local?

Should I Choose a Local Credit Repair Company?

December 16, 2018
, , , , , , Dale Guiducci 0

We have the choice to do business with a local credit repair company in San Diego or a national company. Most people would like to do business locally. There simply is a comfort level doing business locally. Perhaps the thought of being able to find and visit the company should something go wrong is a compelling reason. And, we would more likely want to help out a business in our own economy. This is no different when choosing a credit repair service and perhaps these reasons are even more compelling.

Credit Repair Process and Concerns

In 2012 I was looking for a local credit repair company to refer to some of our accounting clients. I called several of our local San Diego credit repair companies. Most companies that were one woman or man operations. And, they hadn’t been in business very long. I was looking for a credit repair agency with a proven track record.

Local Credit Repair in San Diego local credit repair

There were two or three local companies that did credit repair in San Diego that had a track record but they were very expensive. I was looking for an affordable service for my clients. Then I started calling national credit repair companies that had a track record but discovered that most of them were expensive as well. And, I didn’t get the comfort level that my clients were going to receive personal attention.

I had a bit of a dilemma on my hands until I found United Credit Education Services. They had everything I was looking for in a credit repair agency. UCES had a track record since 2004, proven results, an A+ Better Business Bureau rating, a very affordable price, and a customer satisfaction guarantee. There was only one problem. They didn’t have a local representative in San Diego.

A New Local Representative in San Diego

There are many people in need of a local credit repair company in San Diego. Therefore, I eventually turned over the operations of my accounting business and opened a San Diego credit repair company in 2012.

A Home Based Financial Services Business

Is it possible to build a home based financial services business and make the same income, if not more, than at a traditional job? Yes it’s possible. And, it’s wonderful. I can say that because we’ve done it and can show you how.

Your commute is as long as the distance from your bedroom to your home office. You can take breaks and days off when “you” want. And, you don’t have to work with people that someone else hires. You choose who you want to spend time with. home based financial services business

A Home Based Financial Services Business

Our home based financial services business is Financial Education Services (FES). This is the business my wife and I chose to launch and build alongside of our accounting business. Because of the growth of this new business we shut down our accounting business after two years. The reason we chose FES is due to the track record of the company and the nature and pricing of the services they offer.

We were not going to refer our valued clients, associates and friends to a company that was less than solid. FES has been in business since 2004. FES has an A BBB rating.  They have served well over 250,000 clients, and are accredited by the National Association of Credit Services Organizationss (NACSO). The company has maintained the same principal leaders since the beginning, and the company is debt free.

Services Offered by Financial Education Services

Financial Education Services offers services that restore and protect people’s credit, their identity, their family, and their financial future. In these tough economic times nearly everyone is in need of these services. They offer a low cost, effective credit repair program. In addition identity theft protection, a will and trust program, and other services that help people pay off debt faster and improve their credit score. FES has something that everyone needs.

The Business Model

FES is a direct sales company. In the field we are Independent Agents. It’s very similar to the relationship between a State farm Insurance agent and State Farm. We market and sell the FES services while FES and it’s partners deliver the services to our clients. FES also provides the entire technology infrastructure and customer support. The biggest advantage this business model offers is the ability to add Agents into your business. Much like an insurance or real estate broker, we can bring on Agents to increase our business. And, we can add those Agents anywhere in the country. So, it’s possible to build a nationwide FES business from your home office as we have done.

Residual Income

As you grow an FES business you develop recurring revenue and residual income. Again, comparing this to the insurance industry, we get paid every month that a client stays on service. We not only get the revenue from these past clients but we also get new revenue generated by our Agents every month.

What We Most Enjoy About Working with FES

The one aspect of what we do as an FES Agent that I really enjoy is developing relationships with other professionals. People in the mortgage business, real estate agents, bankruptcy attorneys, bankers, and auto dealers. People in these professions all have clients that need to restore their credit. Real estate and mortgage professionals, as well as auto dealers, particularly want to work with us. They have prospective clients that once FES successfully removes derogatory items from their credit report become ready, willing and now able buyers.

We also work from our home office. We enjoy freedom and flexibility with our work schedule which is so rewarding. It doesn’t mean we didn’t work hard building our business. It simply allows us to work when we want and how much we want. Just being in control versus being controlled provides a major sense of satisfaction.

FES is a long term home based financial services business opportunity whose services will be wanted and needed many years from now. There are Agents with FES making a nice part-time income all the way up to those that are making 5 figures a week. So, it has the same huge income potential like many direct sales companies if someone is willing to go to work and build it. We are one of those people and would love to share more.
