I was an IFA, and the District manager for a large home service Insurance Company, in a finacial services career that lasted 15 years. Cemap should'nt present any problem but the industry regulation will drive you up the wall. Assuming you are competent and can get on with people in a sales environment, then the success of the job will be down to the quality and supply of leads. Mortgages are probably the best section of financial services to get into right now so good luck.
