Hey, Connector—your network is your greatest asset. Whether it’s the coffee shop owner down the street, a boutique-hotel manager, or a tech startup founder, you can now monetize those relationships without any licensing hurdles. Simply share your unique referral link in person or online, and for every small-business loan, line of credit, or merchant cash advance that funds, you earn a commission. We back you with simple tracking tools, friendly support, and fast funding decisions—making this the ultimate win-win side hustle.

Commercial Real Estate Agents & Brokers

You’ve found the perfect property, but financing hiccups can derail even the best deal. Partner with us to turn near-misses into closed transactions. We specialize in bridge loans, fix-and-flip financing, and ground-up construction loans that move at real-estate speed—funding pre-approvals in as little as 72 hours. Our dedicated underwriting team works quietly behind the scenes so you shine, and you earn generous commissions on every referral that funds. Say goodbye to funding delays and hello to smoother closings.

Insurance Brokers

Expand your service portfolio with financing products that boost policy renewals and create new referral streams. Bundle small-business loans, lines of credit, and merchant cash advances alongside your insurance offerings—and earn referral fees on every funded deal.

As an SGF Partner, you’ll offer SBA loans, equipment financing, and working capital lines with minimal paperwork and rapid underwriting—preserving your role as trusted advisor. Enjoy priority processing for your clients and revenue sharing on every funded deal.
