Trent Carter has been involved in the finance sector for over 15 years working with banks and other lending institutions, small brokerages, and for the last 6 years as an ACL Holder in his own business ‘Provident Lending & Business Solutions.’
It doesn’t matter if he is helping a first home buyer, a sophisticated investor or a business owner, his core focus is always the same; to have his clients succeed in their business and personal lives, and to ensure they achieve their Enjoyment Factor!
Trent has become a FBAA State President to support local brokers and influence the broking industry in a positive manner. He believes that sharing his passion for finance broking and engaging with local brokers is essential for the continued growth of the industry sector. Part of this journey is hosting FBAA Professional Development Days and Roundtable Discussions which he considers powerful platforms allowing brokers the opportunity to share their industry knowledge, failures and success stories, as well as planning for the future in a competitive market place.
Trent encourages any WA broker, FBAA member or not, to get in touch with him if they are looking for support, or would like to get involved in this industry further.
