Premier Educational Partners Program

Co-investing in broker capability and stronger commercial standards

The Premier Educational Partners (PEP) Program is an industry collaboration between lenders and Get Commercial with Us to strengthen broker capability through targeted commercial finance education.

Rather than focusing only on deal flow, the PEP Program invests in long-term industry capability.

Through this initiative, lender partners co-fund scholarships and educational initiatives that equip brokers with the knowledge and confidence to operate independently across complex commercial lending scenarios.

This approach benefits brokers, lenders, and clients by improving the overall quality of commercial transactions across the industry.

Why the Program Exists

Commercial finance is growing rapidly, but many brokers hesitate to enter the space.

The barrier is rarely opportunity. The barrier is confidence and capability.

Many brokers worry about:

  • reputational risk if they get a deal wrong

  • not understanding complex structures

  • navigating unfamiliar lender requirements

  • damaging relationships with lenders or clients

At Get Commercial with Us, our courses focus on the practical decision-making frameworks brokers need to structure commercial transactions responsibly.

The Premier Educational Partners Program extends this mission by allowing lenders to actively support broker capability development.

How the Program Works

Premier Educational Partners collaborate with Get Commercial with Us to provide brokers with funded or subsidised access to specialised commercial finance courses.

This may include:

  • Fully funded scholarships

  • Partially funded course placements

  • Educational initiatives supporting broker capability

  • Joint industry education events and webinars

Each partnership is designed to expand broker education while maintaining independence in lender selection and deal structuring.

The goal is not to direct deal flow, but to support brokers in developing the knowledge required to operate confidently in commercial finance.

Why Lenders Participate

Forward-thinking lenders recognise that stronger broker capability benefits the entire lending ecosystem.

When brokers understand:

  • transaction structuring

  • risk assessment

  • documentation requirements

  • lender appetite

the quality of submissions improves and transactions move more efficiently.

Through the Premier Educational Partners Program, lenders contribute to raising commercial standards across the industry while supporting broker education.

Benefits for Brokers

Brokers participating through PEP scholarships gain:

  • access to specialised commercial lending education

  • practical frameworks for structuring transactions

  • insight into lender perspectives and risk considerations

  • greater confidence when discussing commercial deals with clients

The aim is to help brokers master commercial finance.
