MCA ISO referral program for brokers

Built for ISOs and brokers who see merchants in distress every week and have nowhere to send them. We pay on settled outcomes, not just on intake.

01Why this exists

Every MCA broker has a list of past merchants who didn't make it, defaulted, stacked, sued, frozen. The original commission is long gone. The merchant's phone calls keep coming.

We built the referral program for that exact moment. You make a warm intro, we take it from there. If we settle the case, you get paid.

02What we pay

A meaningful percentage of the success fee on each settled balance, paid on each settlement closing, not on a year-end true-up. Fully transparent: you see what we charged, you see what you earned, on every account.

No cap, no clawback if the merchant takes more debt later. Once a case settles, your fee is yours.

Once a case settles, your fee is yours. No clawback if the merchant takes more debt later.

03What makes a good referral

Merchants $50K+ in business debt across one or more MCAs. Either pre-default or post-default, we work both. Active business or recently closed. Personal guarantees in play. Genuine financial hardship (not just bad faith).

We'll talk to anyone, but the conversion rate on the above profile is dramatically higher.

04How the handoff works

Email or call us with the merchant's name, contact info, and a one-line summary. We reach out within an hour. You're cc'd on the engagement so you can monitor progress without being in the day-to-day.

Most ISOs send 1–3 referrals per quarter. Some send dozens. The math works either way.

05The reputational play

You're not just monetizing distressed accounts. You're giving the merchant a real path forward, which means when they (or their friends) need clean financing again, you're the broker they remember.

That long-tail value, in our experience, is bigger than any single referral fee.

Action checklist

If this is you, do these things this week

  1. Sign our one-page referral agreement.
  2. Pull a list of past merchants who didn't make it through their MCA.
  3. Send 1–3 warm intros via email or our private form.
  4. Stay cc'd on the engagement so you can monitor without being in the weeds.
  5. Reconcile commission ledger monthly.
Common questions

Frequently asked

When do I get paid?
On each settlement closing, not at year-end. You see the success fee charged and your share, account by account.
Is there exclusivity?
No. No exclusivity, no minimums, no quotas. Use the program when it fits.
What if the merchant takes new debt later?
No clawback. Once a case settles, your fee is yours regardless of what the merchant does after.
Will you protect my relationship with the merchant?
Yes. We treat every referral as if the merchant came directly. We don't share their file without written consent and we keep you cc'd on engagement progress.
