Mortgage Broker Business Coaching for Sustainable Growth with Ruan Burger

Ruan went through my process and ripped it apart – I started doing things completely differently and doubled my business in one month.

At Success & Broker, we partner with brokers who are serious about their next level of growth.

Our coaching goes beyond advice — we bring clarity, structure, and strategic insight that empowers you to move forward with confidence. With a focus on long‑term success and sustainable growth.

You don’t just learn how to write more loans — you learn how to build a real, sustainable business. One that gives you more freedom, more leverage, and greater financial security. We help you move beyond transactions and into true business ownership, where your systems, your team, and your strategy work together to create long‑term success.

Coaching is led by founder and head coach Ruan Burger, who built two brokerages and a $1B+ loan book before coaching brokers.

Three stages. One proven pathway.

Every client fits within one of our three core stages.

Growth

Scale

Established

Growth

$2M-$3M per month
Aiming for $5M-$7M

For brokers building momentum as business owners.
This stage focuses on developing strong habits, increasing volume, improving consistency, and laying the groundwork for scale through better process, structure and lead flow.

We're right at the start of your business ownership journey here. As a result, our focus will lean more towards training than coaching, to help you instil great habits so that you can pick up more business, close more deals and maximise your effectiveness as a solo-broker business owner.

Scale

$5M+ per month
Looking to build your business & hire staff

For brokers building teams and systems.
Coaching here centres on recruitment, leadership development, process mapping, financial management, and shifting from operator to business owner.

At this stage of your journey, we will strike a balanced focus on both training and coaching, reinforcing the strong habits you’ve already built while providing the necessary support to scale your business beyond your individual efforts. Our coaching will support you develop your skills in recruitment, evaluating the right business structure, process mapping, building partnerships and gaining financial and operation management skills.

Established

Likely $10M+ per month
Running a multi-broker business & looking to leverage what you've already built

For business owners ready to leverage what they’ve built.
Support focuses on strategy, performance management, expansion, succession planning and exit readiness.

By this stage, you've got significant runs on the board. You have a team around you, and likely multiple brokers in the business. Our support here has a heavier focus on coaching and advisory for the business owner AND training for new brokers. The business owner will likely have a clear set of objectives which could include organic growth, acquired growth, team expansion or succession and exit planning.

Ruan has been my mortgage broking coach for 6 months. Having owned a very successful mortgage broking business and now a coach of many businesses he has unparalleled experience to share with his clients. He does this in a very clear and consultative manner. He is always looking for improvements and innovation for clients to implement in their businesses. He has a big picture approach which really helps you get out of the weeds when analysing your business. He has helped me grow my business and provide clarity to achieve my goals. Thanks for your support.

I have learnt so much from Ruan and the team at Success & Broker. Ruan's practical advice to me as a new broker has been incredibly helpful and I have incorporated many of his strategies and approaches into my own business.

Great weekly 50min session with Ruan himself, done online over Zoom with other brokers. Intimate session of around a dozen people, including Ruan and the host. If you're a new broker and have under three or four years of experience, and wish to get an insight into Ruan's mind + pick up tips and tricks, it's a very good six month-long training program. Even if you're a more seasoned broker like myself (nine years in December 2026), it's worth an education session - I have a few pages of notes and thoughts. Give it a go, brokers.

I’ve really enjoyed being part of Ruan’s Grow Broker Program. As a broker with an over 5 years of experience, it is easy to reach a point where you feel like you’re doing well but not really moving forward. This program challenged me to rethink almost everything I thought I knew about broking, relationships, branding and what it really takes to build a sustainable career. Ruan has an incredible ability to make you look at your business and thinking from a completely different perspective while providing genuine support and practical strategies that you can implement immediately and easily. It is not about quick wins or generic coaching. It is about building the right foundations and becoming a better broker and business owner. The confidence and clarity I gained through the program played a crucial role in my decision to move into a BDM role. It helped me recognise where my strengths truly lie and gave me the self confidence to take that next step. I would highly recommend Success and Broker to anyone who feels they have reached a plateau or wants to take their career to the next level. It has been one of the best self investments I have made.

The Success & Broker course has been fantastic. As a new broker, you learn a lot about the technical side early on: compliance, lending policy, structuring deals. But what nobody really teaches you is how to build a sustainable business around all that. Ruan's program fills exactly that gap, giving you so many practical, actionable ways to grow: daily habits and consistency, marketing that actually works for a brokerage, operations and systems that scale, and how to genuinely deliver a great client experience rather than just process loans. What I liked most is that it's not generic coaching. It's built specifically around where you are as a broker, whether that's establishing strong foundations early on or working toward running a proper business with leverage and a team behind you. The 'Broker Journal' kept me on track throughout the course and is a great reference point when i need to work on my business. It is like a blueprint for success. All of it is delivered in a refreshingly warm, positive, and genuinely invested way. You can tell they actually care about your outcomes, not just ticking a coaching box. Big thanks to Ruan, and to Ryan too. Highly recommend to any broker serious about building a real business, not just writing loans.

Ruan and the Success & Broker team have been really helpful in getting us to think about how we operate, how we build out or team, and where we want to go. Ruan is super knowledgeable, having spent many years as a broker running multiple firms. He asks the right questions and challenges your thinking.

I've worked with Ruan at Success & Broker for the last 12 months~ and it's been great. Always makes time to discuss what's going on and the advice is invaluable. If you're a broker thinking of using Ruan's services, it's definitely worth jumping on board.
