Referral partners

You make the introduction; that’s it. No licensing is required for basic referral introductions, and you never have to explain a term sheet. We take the file from there and keep you updated at every stage.

Become a referral partner

ISOs & funding brokers

You have deals that don’t fit your lender box: wrong industry, wrong revenue band, too many positions, a credit profile your lenders won’t touch. Send them to us instead of letting them die. Non-circumvention in writing, a call back within one business day.

Send us the deals you can’t place

You keep the client relationship. We handle the funding process.No cross-selling, no marketing lists, no going around you.

How it works

Four Steps from Referral to Commission

No quotas, no minimums, no exclusivity. Send one deal or twenty.

Step 1

Sign up in two minutes

Tell us who you are and who you work with. We send the partner agreement plus your marketing materials and co-branded landing page, and you’re live. No upfront cost.

Step 2

Send the introduction

Email us the business owner’s name and number, submit through your partner link, or send the full file if you’re an ISO. That’s all we need to start.

Step 3

We run the deal

One dedicated specialist collects the application and bank statements, submits it to our lender network, and walks the owner through every offer. You get transparent updates as it moves.

Step 4

Deal funds, you get paid

When the lender funds the deal, you’re paid your referral commission per the partner agreement. Renewals on your referrals pay you too.

For ISOs and brokers

Send Us the Deals That Don’t Fit Your Box

Every brokerage has files it can’t place: the restaurant with three positions, the contractor at $18K a month, the 580 credit score, the industry your lenders exclude. Right now those files go in a drawer. With RAN they become a second look and, often, a funded deal.

We broker to a wide lender network that covers working capital, revenue-based financing, term loans, lines of credit, SBA, equipment, and receivables. If there’s a home for the file, we’ll find it, and you’re paid on the split in our agreement.

The Files ISOs Send Us Most

  • Paying off a position. The merchant wants one existing advance paid off to free up daily cash flow.
  • New capital on top of existing positions. The business has room for more and your funders have passed.
  • Larger files. $500K+ requests that outgrow your current funders.
  • Term products. Established merchants ready for a Business Term Loan, line of credit, SBA or equipment financing.

Full consolidations are the hardest files to place when a merchant carries several positions. Paying off one position or adding new capital is usually the more realistic route, and we will tell you which one the file supports.

What you can expect from us

  • Non-circumvention, in writing. Signed before you send the first file. Your merchant is tagged to you.
  • A call back within one business day. Every submission gets a real answer: placed, needs more, or declined and why.
  • You choose the handoff. Stay on the deal and co-manage, or hand it off and we run it. Either way you’re paid the same split.
  • Paid at funding. Commission is set in the partner agreement and paid when the lender funds, not net-30 later.

Partner FAQ

Questions Partners Ask Before They Sign

How much do I earn per deal?

We pay industry-leading referral commission: a percentage of what RAN earns on the funded deal. The exact split depends on partner type and whether you send an introduction or a full file, and it’s spelled out in the partner agreement before you send anything.

Does it cost anything to join?

No. There are no fees, minimums, or quotas. You’re paid when a deal funds, and there’s no cost if it doesn’t.

What do I actually have to send?

For referral partners: the business owner’s name, phone, and a heads-up that we’ll be calling. No licensing is required for a basic introduction. For ISOs: the application and bank statements you already collected. We take it from there.

Will you contact my client without me?

Only about the funding they asked for. We don’t cross-sell, and we don’t add your client to any marketing list. If you’d rather be on every call, tell us and we’ll schedule around you.

I’m an ISO. How do I know you won’t go around me?

You sign a non-circumvention agreement with RAN before your first submission. Your merchants are tagged to you in our CRM, and renewals on those merchants pay you as well.

Who qualifies for funding?

Best-fit clients have 1+ year in business, $20K+ in average monthly revenue, a business bank account with active deposits, and a need for $10K–$500K+ in working capital (up to $2M on some products and up to $5M for SBA). A 500+ FICO is preferred but not required for revenue-based products. This is business financing only, for established businesses: we don’t fund startups, and we don’t do real estate, hard money, or personal loans.

When and how am I paid?

When the lender funds the deal and RAN receives its commission, your share is paid per the schedule in the partner agreement, typically by ACH.

Are you a lender?

No. RAN Funding is a broker. We don’t fund deals ourselves; it is one application for our lender network and one dedicated specialist, and we earn a commission from the lender when the deal funds. That’s what your referral commission comes out of.

How does the business loan referral partner program work?

The business loan referral partner program starts with a short partner sign-up. Once enrolled, you send a client's name and contact or a completed application. A dedicated specialist reaches out, gathers bank statements, presents the file to funders and brings back offers. You receive status updates throughout.

Who should become a business funding referral partner?

A business funding referral partner is usually someone business owners already trust with money: CPAs and bookkeepers, business consultants, insurance agents, payment-processing reps and ISOs. If your clients ask you where to get capital, this program gives you a clear answer and a specialist to hand them to.

Will my client be pressured in the small business loan referral program?

No. In the small business loan referral program, a specialist presents the options, explains terms in plain language and shows total cost before anything is signed. Approval is never promised, and if no offer fits, we tell the client so. Your relationship with the client comes first.

Is the business lending referral program open nationwide?

Yes. The business lending referral program accepts partners and clients across the U.S. Clients need at least one year in business and $20K or more in monthly revenue to be a fit. Partners in any industry that serves business owners are welcome to apply, and there is no cost to join.

Disclosure. RAN Funding is a business funding broker, not a lender. We do not make funding decisions or fund deals directly; we submit applications to third-party lenders and are compensated by those lenders when a deal funds. Referral partner compensation is a share of that lender commission and is set in the written partner agreement. Funding amounts, timing, products, and approval depend on the lender and on the applicant’s business. Nothing on this page is an offer of credit or a guarantee of approval or of any commission amount. Partners must not represent themselves as lenders or as employees of RAN Funding, and must comply with all applicable federal and state laws in their referrals.
