Common Questions

Clear answers for prospective partners.

How much do I earn?

A Capital Qualified™ client who pays in full earns you $750, and up to $1,000 for partners who qualify for our volume bonuses. An ApprovalReady™ or CashFlowReady™ client who pays in full earns you $600. A client on a payment plan earns you 20% of each payment they make: $139.40 at enrollment plus $57.80 for each of 11 monthly payments. We walk you through your commission schedule on your onboarding call.

When and how am I paid?

Commissions are paid monthly, on the 15th. Whatever we collect from your referred clients in one month is paid to you on the 15th of the following month. For example, a client payment we collect on October 4 is paid to you on November 15. Payment goes through our payout vendor, and you need an active payment account and your tax documentation on file.

How are my referrals tracked?

Your unique CredFin link helps associate qualifying enrollments with your partner account. Attribution is subject to tracking availability, applicable referral windows, and the Affiliate Partner Agreement. If a referral does not appear in your dashboard, contact the partner team for review.

What is the difference between my link and the referral form?

Your unique enrollment link supports commission attribution when a referred client qualifies and enrolls. A referral form introduces a prospective client for follow-up; submitting a name alone does not establish a payable commission.

Do I earn on a client's later purchases?

Commission is paid on a new client's first enrollment, including each payment on their plan. Additional program purchases by the same client are not commissionable.

What does it mean for CredFin to be my client's funding department?

Your clients' businesses have a sales department and a marketing department, but almost none has a funding department. CredFin fills that role: we assess what lenders see, help develop the business credit and cash flow profile through Capital Qualified™, and help the owner explore lenders whose criteria fit when the business is ready, with 12 months of live coaching and support.

Will CredFin compete with me for my client?

No. CredFin is not a lender, and we do not take over your relationship. We prepare the business behind the scenes, so a client who isn't ready for funding today has a reason to stay connected with you as their business grows.

Is CredFin a lender?

No. CredFin provides business credit coaching, financial roadmapping, and funding advisory services. We do not make lending decisions or guarantee financing. When appropriate, we help clients explore financing options through third-party lenders.

Are there rules for how I promote?

Yes. Say clearly that you are a CredFin affiliate wherever you share your link, do not bid on CredFin's brand keywords in ads, and do not use your own link to enroll yourself. The full rules are in the Affiliate Partner Agreement.
