    Underwriters

    Hi All,

    Im opening my own shop and im curious how much an experienced UW is paid nowaday's.

    I thought about just training someone but im more interested in someone that knows what theyre doing.

    Any advice would be helpful.

    TIA

    If you're opening your own funding shop, then I have relationships with 2 experienced underwriters who you can pay "per file" at the beginning (outsourced) and they are also willing to help you train future ones.

    If you are opening your own brokerage, then you don't really need an UW.

    Definitely can't see how using two outside UW's sent via a random funder/broker on DF could work out badly...

    Gables, first of all, I'm not so "random," people know me well enough already over here I think.

    Secondly, do your own due diligence! I'm not making any money off of it, they have their own resume and history. One UW worked for CAN, one for Everest, they'll tell you what their loss of capital was..... Or go with what Robert's recommendations, he's definitely more reliable as a

    One of those UW's was referred to me by someone who was hired by a funder to shore up operations, after he did the same for Rapid and Knight, as a contractor.

    It depends on your infrastructure and volume. If you want to get someone experienced from a well established funder, you'll definitely need to pay with a taste of the company to make it worthwhile.

    Depending on how big you are jumping out of the gate, Micah's suggestion to work with a contract Underwriter may make more sense. Or maybe work with an outside contractor as you also train someone internally.

    Feel free to PM, I'll be glad to refer you along some contract underwriters with dedicated MCA/Fintech experience.

    Average pay for an UW is 40-70k depending on experience and deal size. Some shops also pay per deal funded 15/50 per deal with a clawback if the deal defaults within the first 30 days.

    I know quite a few that started out closer to the 70k mark. In addition to their salary they also get RTR on their portfolio.

    An entry level UW should make 40k, maybe a bit more if you're feeling generous - that's someone with little to no financial industry experience and is coming in to be trained under a senior underwriter.

    But if you expect someone to come in and help you build a company, train everyone, oversee the UW dept - then it doesn't matter what any other UW gets paid you should be considering a generous compensation package including salary, benefits, if not profit share then bonuses (keep in mind UW's shouldn't make commissions on deals they fund), etc - according to the size of the company you expect to build and the responsibilities you expect the individual to handle.

    You get what you pay for.
