We understand that following your career in the armed forces, you will have a host of traits valuable to civilian employment.

For the right individuals we will provide all the training you need to succeed as a Commercial Finance Broker.

An office-based role, you’ll collaborate with and learn from senior colleagues, learning about finance and discussing opportunities with companies that you find or those that enquire. Learn how to unlock potential within a business and develop creative solutions to help customers meet their goals. Build and manage your own portfolio of customers, develop sector and industry expertise and be the contact your customers turn to when they need funding.
You’ll have the potential to progress from Commercial Broker to Executive Broker with a team in 2 years.
Aimed at veterans leaving the forces in the near future or who have been out for some time, we are looking for:
– Tri-Service veterans and transitioning leavers
– University and/or Officer Training Academy Graduates
– Candidates willing to learn new skills from the ground up
– Leadership potential

If you’re wondering if a beauty salon is a worthy business to start this year, we are pleased to report that it is very lucrative, albeit requiring a lot of commitment and dedication. In 2019, the 45,000 beauty businesses in the UK turned over £8 billion. This sector has also been predicted to grow by 16% by the end of 2023. So, it is clear that the beauty sector is a profitable business with the market for services increasing, so you should ensure you have the equipment and stock to meet demand. Ensure you have the cash flow and necessary equipment needed to meet your customer’s expectations and grow your business with the help of Portman.
Starting a home beauty salon is a great way to get your business and brand started if done properly. This means ensuring you have the right permissions before opening your home to clients. A clause in your home agreement may prohibit you from conducting any business from home. You must also ensure that you create a space that your clients feel comfortable in to ensure they return. To achieve this, set up a dedicated salon space that is professional rather than setting up a chair in your living room. This could make clients of your business feel like they are intruding. Never forget that your customers want to feel proud of your brand and of being regular clients. For help getting the necessary space, equipment and furniture to start your home beauty salon, get in touch with the team at Portman today.
You can bring in new clients to your beauty salon and turn them into regulars in various ways. From increasing your social media presence and running treatment competitions to improving the quality of your brand and business with premises fit-outs and the latest equipment and technology in beauty services. All of these are proven to bring in new customers, but the longer-term plans with the finance behind them can help you to retain your new customers and convert them into regular clients.
