About This Video
Watch Global Financial Training Program founder Phil Duchey featured on the syndicated Moving America Forward franchise news program, hosted by Doug Llewellyn with William Shatner introduction. The segment profiles Phil Duchey as the featured entrepreneur—president of Global Financial Services, a New York City commercial finance company in business for 36 years. Duchey's background frames the GFTP origin. He left corporate America years ago looking for a business that everyone needs, was recession-proof, and had no seasonality. Lending fit all three criteria, so he built Global Financial Services. Over the decades, calls from people wanting to enter the lending business or bring transactions to the firm convinced him to formalize the curriculum into the Global Financial Training Program—a hands-on training that pairs students with major lending institutions on graduation, so they become their own boss. The segment includes a GFTP graduate testimonial that anchors the income credibility. The graduate had been a tax accountant working five-to-six-day weeks, paycheck-to-paycheck, in a lifestyle they describe as unhappy and locked-in. They considered UPS and barbecue franchises but rejected those for being location-bound. Commercial finance brokerage offered the freedom to roam—they live between Birmingham/Atlanta and Phoenix and operate from wherever they are. Their first deal was a $3M SBA loan plus $500K working capital for a client buying out a competitor; the 3% commission was approximately $105K—more than they made in their previous tax-accounting year. They've since done multiple repeat deals with the same client and recommend the program to anyone seeking financial freedom and time freedom. The segment closes with the recommendation: GFTP introduces operators to over 30 different lenders with niches for any operator's interests. For franchise prospects, the watch page surfaces the founder credentials, third-party media validation, and a credible graduate-income proof point against which to evaluate the GFTP opportunity.
