Equity Release Associates (ERA) has announced the addition of two more induction programmes in the first quarter of 2021.

The new dates have been added to deal with the high level of demand that the organisation has seen from advisers in the later-life lending market.

The business, which provides compliance oversight, technology solutions and general business support for independent brokers, has seen its adviser numbers grow rapidly since its launch in the summer of 2020.

Dan Baines, managing director at Equity Release Associates, said: “We were very confident that the tools we provide to later-life lending advisers would be market leading when it came to both the adviser and the customer experience. But only now, with a growing community of advisers on board, has it become clear just how much of a difference the ERA platform can make.

“Our core values of quality, autonomy and community are offering a balance of support that forward-thinking advisers in our market are embracing. We’re delighted to be making such a difference, and look forward to building on these gold-standard foundations for both new and existing Associates over the course of 2021.”
