World Financial Group, also known as WFG is a company that services financial needs. The WFG Associate is able to offer a broad spectrum of financial products and services from a long list of service providers.

A WFG Associate work with clients that have large amounts of discretionary income as well as everyday folks like me. Associates need to live in the US or Canada to be able to work for the company and be able to provide the services.

WFG is part of a worldwide insurance company. They say that unlike other insurance and financial institutions that offer their products and services from only one provider, that a WFG associate can find any product to fit any need. They are able to provide insurance, mutual funds, and other products.

What makes World Financial Group so different?

I searched their website to find the answer to this, to see if they truly are different. This is what I have found:

They provide the opportunity for you to be your own boss in your own business. (Same thing others provide). You can reach your dreams and help others reach theirs, (Still nothing different). You can help others by educating them on the financial fundamentals that can lead them to their dream, (still waiting). WFG is there to help provide excellent support, (Okay), Innovative training programs, and field-mentoring business model for you to follow, (I am doing this review and I am still waiting to find the answer that they posted on their site).

(A little later), I found it, and they are a company that is one of the few that is dedicated to serving financial needs of individuals and families that are often ignored or overlooked by the financial services industry. They want to provide financial education for the middle class who can learn from their latest financial concepts and solutions. Their goal is to teach the everyday person how to work toward their goals and achieve them.

From what I am gathering from my reading is that they have a great deal of support at their WFG Headquarters to help you. I guess I was looking for something that was really different from the other companies that I have reviewed. They will help you build a strong business by teaching you how to grow a strong client base. They will teach you how to recruit and mentor new associates.

They have a Business Format System (BFS), which is the core set of principles of their Turnkey Marketing System. When you are a registered representative with WFG, you will be able to offer clients securities related products and services. Normally and insurance agent would need a Series 6 or Series 7 license to do this. You will be able to provide Mutual Funds, Annuities, Life Insurance, IRA’s and Roth IRAs. You will be selling college funds/529 plans, Pensions/401K, brokerage services, mortgages, property and casualty insurance. You will be doing this through the company WRL and Pacific Life, American Skandia, Transamerica Retirement Services, and Allianz.

As I was not able to find their compensation plan, but they do state on their website that their Compensation System and Promotion Guidelines are subject to change at anytime.
However, there is a lot of information regarding the Success Levels and how much the potential earning is along with the prizes.

There are a lot of very positive testimonials of very successful individuals and couples available to read and you will be able to hear from the Chairmen of the company. Again, I could not find any information on the compensation plan or the cost to become an Independent Associate. That information may only come from another associate once you contact them.

business and finance

When obtaining a business opportunity loan, borrowers will discover that many lenders simply do not provide business loans that do not include real estate as part of the business purchase. There are several other important business financing issues to analyze prior to buying a business without commercial property.

Interest in buying business opportunity investments has improved because of serious problems with residential real estate. However, because there are so many critical differences between financing residential real estate and business financing, it is important for potential business owners to educate themselves before proceeding.

In order to buy a business, a commercial borrower is likely to need business financing. If the business includes commercial real estate, the borrower will need a commercial mortgage. If the business purchase does not involve real estate, a business borrower must use a business opportunity loan.

Unfortunately the availability of business opportunity financing is more restricted than commercial real estate financing. There are also some potential limitations and problems unique to a business opportunity loan, and commercial borrowers should make every effort to avoid these business financing difficulties.

Our goal here is to focus on several financing issues that you should anticipate when commercial real estate is not part of the business purchase. Our suggested approach to business opportunity financing is provided below.

Begin your business opportunity investment financing plans by formulating a realistic assessment of cash available for a down payment and desired maximum business purchase price. A down payment of about 25% is suggested for most business financing situations described here. Usually seller financing is permissible for a portion of the down payment, but a potential buyer generally needs to plan on investing at least 10% of the purchase price from their own funds even if the seller is providing 15% or more.

Because Small Business Administration loans are essential for this kind of financing, you should explore whether you will in fact be able to qualify for these specialized business loans. This step is both important and somewhat complicated, and the involvement of an SBA loan expert is strongly advised. Among the issues to explore are whether collateral is available for SBA financing and how important refinancing is to your overall business opportunity financing process.

It is important to consider the lease terms which are possible. As noted previously, business opportunity financing and investing does not involve the purchase of commercial real estate, so arrangements must be made for a long-term lease. A ten-year maximum loan term is likely, and a shorter financing term will probably be required if the length of the lease is for less than ten years. In other words, with a seven-year lease, the commercial loan is likely to be for seven years, and even with a fifteen-year lease, the commercial financing will probably expire in ten years.

When buying a business, inquire about the possibility of including commercial real estate. With the inclusion of commercial property, you can obtain a longer business loan and the interest rate will be lower. Because the absence of a commercial mortgage can actually be an advantage, the improved terms possible by including real estate should not be looked at in isolation.

Before any offers are made to buy a business investment, borrowers should discuss their financing options with an expert for business opportunity loans. These discussions should include issues such as potential purchase price, down payment possibilities, seller financing, buyer credit scores, tax return requirements and collateral options.
