What counts as a qualified referral?

A real, operating business (or a serious startup) that needs funding.

The owner agrees to be contacted by ARQ Funding.

They generally meet basic lender criteria — at least $10K in revenue, time in business, or 700+ credit score

They're a new client, not already in our pipeline.

The referral results in funding that closes. They agree to work with us, we get them approved, they receive funds, and we receive payment.

You earn on qualified deals that get funded. Not every referral will qualify or close.

QUESTIONS

Some things that are worth noting.

How much can I earn?

Your compensation is a share of the success fees we charge the client, so it scales with deal size. There's no cap. Exact rates are in your partner agreement, and earnings vary by the number and size of deals that actually fund.

When do I get paid?

Payments are sent after a referred deal closes and funds, on the schedule set in your partner agreement.

Is there a cost to join?

No. Joining is free, there are no quotas, and there's no obligation to send a minimum number of referrals.

What makes a referral "qualified"?

A real business that needs funding, agrees to be contacted, generally meets basic lender criteria, is new to us, and ultimately gets funded. Not every referral will qualify or close. The ideal criteria would be if the business owner has a 700+ credit score or if they are doing at least $10K a month in business revenue.

Do I need a license to refer?

As a partner, you simply introduce business owners to us. You don't negotiate terms, give financial advice, or broker the financing yourself, which is what keeps you a referrer rather than a broker. On some products (like SBA loans) and in some states, referral compensation is regulated. Those rules always take priority over the partner agreement's standard terms, and we'll discuss how they apply to your referral before the deal closes so there are no surprises.

Are you a business seeking funding?

Schedule a consultation and let us know how you heard about us.
