As one of the first companies of its kind, Vertical Lend provides financial professionals with a unique and proven turnkey mortgage origination platform. Vertical Lend has already helped thousands of financial professionals remain competitive in today's full-service marketplace by complementing their existing business with the integration of mortgage services.

Vertical Lend provides all the resources needed to help a financial professional grow their mortgage business while continuing to focus on their core discipline. With origins dating back to 1995, Vertical Lend was launched in 1999 when regulatory changes made it possible for insurance agents, accountants, tax preparers and financial planners to be legally compensated for originating mortgages. Vertical Lend is one of the first organizations to radically change how mortgages are distributed.

In addition, Vertical Lend has taken an integral role in the development of continuing professional education (CPE) programs tailored to CPAs and financial planners. In May of 2002, the New York State Board of Accountancy approved one of the first CPE programs on mortgage lending.

Importance of a Financial Professional
Research indicates that obtaining a mortgage via a financial professional creates a positive home financing experience for the borrower. According to David Peskin, Vertical Lend Inc.'s CEO, "The program is a natural fit for financial professionals who have established client relationships. They understand their needs, making them ideal candidates to originate mortgages."

"The key to successfully servicing a borrower is to have a full understanding of their financial needs, goals and objectives. Armed with this information, a mortgage originator will find a loan program that truly suits a borrower's needs. This is why an accountant, tax preparer, financial planner or insurance agent will play a vital part in the mortgage industry - today and in the future."

Designed With You in Mind
Vertical Lend's founders had first-hand knowledge of what financial professionals need to succeed - a turnkey program that is simple to implement and does not require a great deal of resources to administer. The founders' diverse experiences as mortgage professionals, accountants and financial planners helped to create a loan origination system unsurpassed by any other firm. The idea behind the Vertical Lend program is "to complement a professional's business, not to compete with it."
