Frequently Asked Questions

Co/LAB has a lot to offer. Here are some questions that most often get asked of our team.

What is Co/LAB?

Co/LAB is a collective of mortgage professionals and a network of specialized businesses built to support every stage of a mortgage career. We serve loan officers, mortgage brokers, and real estate professionals who want to grow, launch, or scale a mortgage business — all with the tools, training, and resources they won’t find anywhere else.

Can I become a broker without experience?

Yes — you don’t need prior experience to become a mortgage broker. With the right education and by passing the required exams, anyone can enter the industry. Co/LAB offers structured training, licensing support, and mentorship to help new brokers start strong and launch successful businesses with confidence.

Do I have to join a franchise to get support?

Not at all. While our franchise owners benefit from full-service guidance, Co/LAB also supports independent mortgage brokers and loan officers. Our Broker Concierge Service offers back-office operations support, and our Co/LAB Lending team provides sponsored positions for loan officers who want resources, community, and coaching — without the commitment of ownership.

How long does it take to launch my business?

Timelines can vary depending on your state’s licensing requirements, but most Co/LAB partners are fully operational within 60 to 90 days. Our experienced team helps streamline every step — from compliance and business formation to systems setup — so you can open your doors faster and with confidence.
