Yes but: In 2021, we surveyed 250 brokers and found that only 6% actively prospect these types of vendors.
Takeaways for brokers: There is a wealth of untapped opportunity here. Bigger dealers and manufacturers are not just open to using brokers—the research tells us that most do! And while your share of funding volume may be a smaller percentage, a small percentage of huge volume is still more overall business.
