Habito has launched an accelerator programme designed for entrepreneurial mortgage broker firms that are looking to scale their business with an exit in mind.
The Habito Accelerator will offer participating firms exclusive access to the knowledge and experience from Habito chief executive officer Ying Tan and his leadership team.
The program has three spaces available in the inaugural cohort. Applications will remain open until the end of March.
The successful mortgage broker firms will benefit from Habito’s technology, insights and tools as well as the opportunity to be part of the company’s growth story as it starts working on a merger and acquisition strategy.
In addition, firms will use the accelerator programme’s payment route, which includes lenders such as HSBC, Nationwide, NatWest, Barclays, Santander, Halifax and a range of specialist lenders.
Commenting on the launch, Tan says: “The Habito Accelerator is a game-changer for mortgage broker firms looking to take their businesses to the next level.”
“I am passionate about sharing the knowledge and resources that have helped me navigate the challenges of scaling a business. This initiative is not just about technology; it’s about fostering a community of driven entrepreneurs who are ready to innovate and excel in the mortgage market.”
Tan founded mortgage broker Dynamo, formerly The Buy to Let Business, in 2006 and grew it to 200 staff before exiting to Connells in 2021. Tan has since invested in a number of fintech businesses including Propflo and Knowledge Bank.
He was named CEO of Habito in 2023, taking on the role from Daniel Hegarty.
