For the third year in a row, the Finance Brokers Association of Australia (FBAA) will hold its highly anticipated Industry Commercial Masterclass Week – but due to COVID-19, all seminars will be digital.

Following an opening address by the minister for employment, skills, small and family business Senator The Hon. Michaelia Cash and FBAA managing director Peter White AM, finance expert Peter Switzer of Switzer Financial Group will MC the week-long sessions, which runs from Monday July 20 to Friday July 24.

All webinars are free, and everyone in the industry is welcome to attend, including non-FBAA members.

The commercial masterclasses will offer unique insights into market outcomes post COVID-19, commercial loan submissions, leases, cash flow, new technology, customer focus, industry challenges, lender support and more.

The highlight of this action-packed week of commercial lending education is sure to be the live Q&A panel session on July 24, with representatives from Get Capital, Pepper, ING, ThinkTank, PRP and Tenant Leasing Group discussing the changing market.

Attendees can count 0.5 CPD per Tuesday – Thursday session and 1 CPD hour for the Monday and live panel session to meet their CPD requirements.

The FBAA 2020 commercial masterclass week will consist of speakers from Lend, Speedy Finance, ING Group, Pepper Money, ThinkTank, Get Capital, VOW Financial, PRP and Tenant Leasing Group.

Mr White said that the week was even more important this year due to the challenges created by COVID-19.

“The commercial masterclasses support the industry by showcasing best practice and bringing experts together to discuss ways we can successfully navigate the post pandemic landscape,” he said.
