Process

Four Steps.
That's All It Takes.

The referral process is intentionally simple. You stay in control of the relationship — we handle the capital side from start to finish.

01
You Make the Introduction
Connect us with a business owner who needs capital. A call, an email, or a simple form submission — whatever works for your workflow.
02
We Handle the Process
Our team takes it from there — application, review, structuring, and placement. You're kept in the loop and the client relationship stays yours.
03
The Business Gets Funded
When the deal closes, the client receives their funding. Fast decisions, clear terms, and no surprises on their end or yours.
04
You Earn a Referral Fee
A referral fee is paid to you upon funding, per the terms of your partner agreement. Transparent, straightforward, and on time.

Who It's Built For

If You Know Business

Consultants & Advisors
Business consultants, financial advisors, and coaches with established client bases who regularly discuss growth and cash flow.
Accountants & CPAs
Professionals who already see their clients' financials and are well-positioned to identify businesses that could benefit from additional capital.
Insurance Professionals
Commercial insurance agents and brokers with existing business owner relationships across multiple industries and regions.
Payroll & HR Providers
Payroll processors and HR service providers who interact with business owners regularly and understand their operational needs.
Real Estate Professionals
Commercial real estate agents, brokers, and property managers who work with business owners in their day-to-day transactions.
Other Professionals
Attorneys, marketing agencies, staffing firms, equipment dealers, and anyone else with consistent access to business owners who need working capital.
Program Benefits

What You Get as a
Referral Partner.

Joining the program gives you a clean, compliant way to add value for your clients and earn on outcomes — without adding work to your plate.

Referral Fee on Funded Deals
Earn a referral fee each time a client you introduce gets funded. Compensation terms are defined clearly in your partner agreement before any referrals are made.
A Dedicated Point of Contact
Not a ticket system. You have a real person to reach out to — for deal updates, client questions, or help navigating the process.
Real-Time Referral Visibility
Know where each referral stands. We keep you informed at each stage so you're never left wondering what happened to a client you sent our way.
Compliant Program Structure
The referral partner program is structured to keep you and your clients protected. No gray areas, no pressure tactics — just a clean agreement and a straightforward process.
Fast Turnaround on Deals
We move quickly. Most referrals are reviewed and responded to within 24–48 hours — so your clients get answers fast and you look good in the process.
Multiple Funding Products
We offer a range of business funding solutions — so more of your referrals find the right fit, and fewer fall through the cracks due to a single product limitation.

Partner Fit

Be Direct About
Who This Is For.

This program works best for professionals who are already in front of business owners. Success depends on your ability to make quality introductions — not volume.

✓  Strong Fit
This Program Works For You
  • You regularly interact with business owners as part of your work
  • Your clients sometimes mention cash flow, growth capital, or equipment needs
  • You want to add value for clients without taking on a sales role
  • You're comfortable making a warm introduction and stepping back
  • You want a compliant, straightforward way to earn additional income
✕  Not a Fit
This Program Isn't Right For
  • Those who don't have existing relationships with business owners
  • Anyone expecting passive income without active engagement
  • People looking for guaranteed compensation regardless of outcomes
  • Those seeking W-2 employment, salary, or benefits
  • Partners operating in states where the program is not available
