The Challenge

As an independent consultant, we understand the excitement and promise of building your own business. The independence, economic potential, and freedom are liberating. We also know the hurdles you face on your own. Independent professionals face:

  • Challenges in sourcing new contracts;
  • Perceived credibility gaps in the absence of a wider team;
  • Limited access to essential resources, technologies, and agency agreements with vendors at competitive rates;
  • Isolated brainstorming, problem solving, and thinking;
  • The limitations of their individual skill set; and
  • A lack of cross coverage while out of the office.

These same challenges that independent professionals face are competitive advantages for multi-advisor agencies.

Our Solution

The reality is that multi-advisor agencies rely on these advantages to prevent independent consultants from building market momentum. The purpose of MCI’s Affiliate Program is to help independent consultants achieve the same advantages that multi-advisor agencies enjoy without being subjugated as employees or sacrificing their business aspirations. The Affiliate Program is a network of independent professionals that can work together in a safe environment that protects their and their clients’ business interests.
