Almost 30 Years Of Mortgage & Protection Advice

I have been a mortgage broker for almost 30 years, and I know what it is like to finish a full day of clients and then start the paperwork. At Brokora you choose how you are paid, and you get your evenings back.

Scott

Head Of Operations

20+ Years Experience in Business Tech

I have worked in tech and finance for almost 20 years, starting out in stockbroking. My job at Brokora is simple: to create the perfect platform so you can spend your days advising, earning and have more free time.

Why We Started Brokora

Between us we bring almost 50 years of experience. Deanne has been a mortgage broker for almost 30 years, and Scott has worked in tech and finance for almost 20 years, starting out in stockbroking. For almost seven years we have run our own directly authorised brokerage, and we kept seeing the same thing: good advisers working late on paperwork, handing over a big slice of every case, and paying for software they never chose.

Alongside finance, Scott has spent years in website development, as part of a small team creating custom business platforms. When AI arrived, we saw what it could really do for advisers, and we have both the passion and the know-how to put it to work in a real business, every day.

So we asked one question. What would a firm look like if it was designed around the adviser, and around what advanced AI can now do, instead of the other way round?

Brokora is our answer. You choose how you are paid, from no monthly fee up to keeping 100% of your commission. There are no joining fees, no leaving fees and no software bills. Protection-only advisers are paid on the same packages as everyone else. And your voice companion takes care of the chasing, so your evenings are yours again.

We never wanted to be another network. We wanted to be the firm we wished we could have joined.

The Old Way Of Advising Is Over. Welcome To Brokora.

For thirty years, mortgage and protection advisers have been trapped in the exact same cycle. Typing the same fact-find twice. Chasing the same document three times. Finishing compliance checklists at midnight while critical lender updates get buried in an overflowing inbox.

Advisers were told this was just part of the job. It never was. It was paperwork wearing down good advisers—taking you away from the work that matters and the people you set out to help.

Brokora was built to end that era.We are an exclusive members’ club designed specifically for forward-thinking, self-employed mortgage and protection advisers. Whether you’re a new starter building your foundation, an established adviser scaling regular business, or a specialist protection adviser, our mission is unwavering: give you back your time, eliminate administrative friction, and maximise the income you’ve earned.

  

Six Years Of Regulated Excellence Behind You

Trust isn't claimed; it's earned. Brokora is a trading style of Straker Financial Services, a directly authorised mortgage and protection brokerage. With six years of FCA-regulated operation behind us, the standards that protect your clients sit firmly at the core of everything we do.

Because Brokora was born directly out of an active working brokerage, we know the real world you face every day—the tight lender deadlines, complex cases, and compliance demands. We didn't build another bundle of disjointed apps. We built one seamlessly connected ecosystem.

Unified Workspace
Your clients, cases, online applications, documents, secure messages, and reports live under a single, unified record powered by intelligent automation.

Proactive Compliance
Files are checked in real time as cases progress, eliminating the late-night scramble and giving you total confidence.

Client Empowerment
Clients receive their own secure portal to submit details, upload paperwork, and track progress live—stopping the constant "any updates?" phone calls in their tracks.

Voice-Activated Assistance
A hands-free voice companion can surface any case or prepare paperwork in a single sentence, always waiting for your explicit approval before taking action. You maintain total control over every advice decision; we simply erase the busywork.
