This is going to seem odd but use the ones that come free with your checking and savings accounts and stay debt free. Having done both worlds: debt and debt-free, I can tell you debt-free is much better. It is very rewarding to walk in a pay cash for a car, take a nice vacation with cash, etc, etc.\n\nThe only exception is a house and if you're a real go getter you can even do that debt free.

Network, find places where groups of your target market hang out.  Carry lots of business cards to hand out at a moments notice.  When conversing normally work the conversation around to mortgages.  Know your product and be prepared to answer any question off the hip.  Be relaxed yet knowledgeable.  Don't be afraid of rejection, look for opportunities in the littlest of conversations to tell someone about your product.

well the recruitment process must be delt with accuratly, as they need experienced, wise, and trustworthy staff, they also need to ensure they employ ethnic minoroties, i do not see alot in banks in the uk, and that is strange. and with the advertising, it is important as to attract customers, because nowadays, banks dont only offer current accounts, savings accounts and loans, NO they also offer mortages, insurance, and other services.\nso their advertisments are really important as to deliver the correct information to attract more customers.

So all you need to do is tell them how to review the current loan software right?\nThen just think about what they will need to do, such as looking at the cost of the current software, the ease of use, the speed at which it runs, the time it takes to train new employees on it etc. It shouldn't be too hard.

I doubt anyone here can give much more than a bank or two.\nUse your browser and type in all the banks, by name, that you can think of, or use your local Yellow pages. for names.  They may even have their web addresses listed.\nAt these sites you will see all their benefits and services offered.\nAs to atmosphere, you will have to visit banks and compare them yourself.

As long as there are enough people with enough money to pay someone else to do something they'd rather not do themselves, this seems like a winning idea. The size of the town seems big enough, as long as the demographics work and provided there is not already a lot of competition in this area. My one recommendation is to set it up so you can get paid before you do the work or as soon as you do the work, because collecting afterwards is going to be tricky. In a service business like this, you will encounter a certain number of deadbeats. Also, be real clear on your fee structure, including things like charges for bad checks. You may want to check with your bank for a check verification service. Don't let people take advantage of you. Offer great service, be dependable, and hopefully your customers will recommend you to other people to help you grow your business. This really is a great kind of business and I applaud you for undertaking it.

I like to bank on the web.  If that's what you plan on doing check out their web sites.  Also, I use the ATMs a lot.  I'd check to see who has the most ATMs in my area and how convenient they are for me to visit.   Also check out their fees.  If you use another bank's ATM, how much will you be charged?  Is there free checking for direct deposit?  Look at what each bank offers and see how they meet your needs.\nThese are things that you need to think about before choosing a bank.
