Mortgage brokerage YesCanDo Money has been selected as the second firm to join the inaugural cohort of the Habito Accelerator, a new initiative designed to fast-track the growth of ambitious firms within the sector.
The firm was chosen from a pool of more than 60 applicants to take part in the programme, which offers participating brokerages mentoring from Habito’s senior leadership, including chief executive Ying Tan, as well as access to the firm’s proprietary digital platform and support with strategic growth.
YesCanDo Money, based in Havant, is known for its fee-free mortgage advice and strong emphasis on customer experience.
The firm has developed a reputation for combining technology and personal service, which Tan described as “exactly the kind of energy the Habito Accelerator was built to harness”.
“We’re thrilled to welcome YesCanDo Money into the Accelerator,” said Tan (pictured).
“They’re everything we look for in a cohort firm – brilliant customer service, bold thinking, and a relentless commitment to doing things differently. We’ve admired their journey for a long time, and now we’re excited to help supercharge it.”
SCALING UP
Launched earlier this year, the Habito Accelerator aims to work with just three firms in its first round, offering what it describes as an “exclusive” opportunity for entrepreneurial brokerages to scale up with dedicated support and infrastructure.
When The Bank Says No was unveiled as the first firm last week, with YesCanDo Money now announced as the second business in the founding cohort.
Matthew Roberts, director at YesCanDo Money, said the firm was “absolutely thrilled” to be taking part. “It’s a brilliant opportunity to take our business to the next level and to work alongside some of the most forward-thinking minds in the industry,” he said.
“We’ve always believed in doing things the right way – with integrity, care, and a focus on long-term relationships. This next chapter is going to be game-changing.”
The name of the third firm to complete the cohort is expected to be announced shortly.
