Introducer partnership for estate and letting agents
As a CoreFi introducer, you refer property clients who need commercial finance and earn a share of the lender commission on funded deals, never a cut of the loan or the arrangement fee. The share starts at 5%, rises to 8% after 10 funded referrals and 12% after 50, with a 15% ceiling.
Your buyers, landlords and developers ask you about funding most weeks. A chain break that needs bridging inside a fortnight. A landlord who wants to buy the next unit before selling the last one. A developer who has just exchanged on a site and needs to fund the build. Most agents point those people at a random broker or a comparison site and get nothing for it.\n\nWe pay you a share of the lender commission on every deal that funds. You make the introduction; our brokers scope the case, package it and run it to completion. You stay copied in and get paid when it closes.\n\nJoining is free, there is no volume target and nothing is exclusive. You refer when it genuinely helps the client, and your share of the commission climbs as more of your referrals fund.

When the deal funds, your share of the lender commission is calculated and paid. It starts at 5% and rises with your count of funded referrals to 12%, with a 15% ceiling.
What you actually earn
You earn a share of the commission the lender pays CoreFi on each funded deal. Not a percentage of the loan. Not the arrangement fee the client pays. The lender commission, split your way.
Your share is tiered by the count of your funded referrals: 5% to start, 8% once you reach ten funded deals, and 12% beyond fifty, with a 15% ceiling for the most active introducers.
CoreFi's average gross commission per funded deal is around £3,600. On a deal at that level, a 5% share is roughly £180 and a 12% share roughly £432. Those are illustrative figures, not a guarantee. Actual commission varies by product, lender and loan size, some deals pay more and some less, and nothing is paid on a deal that does not fund.
Why property throws off so much finance demand
Auction purchases need bridging that completes in days, sometimes inside two weeks. A landlord refinancing one property to release deposit for the next needs a broker who knows the portfolio lenders. A developer part-way through a conversion often needs exit bridging while the units sell. Refurbishment before let comes up on almost every tired property.
You are in the room at the exact moment the need appears. The buyer has just had an offer accepted, the landlord has just agreed the next purchase, the developer has just exchanged on the land. That timing is the whole value of the introduction, and it costs you nothing beyond the conversation you were already having.
How we work the deal once you refer
We run a whole-of-market lender panel. Once you introduce a client, a CoreFi broker scopes what they actually need, matches it to the right lender, packages the submission and manages the case through to funded. We keep you posted at the stages that matter.
We also monitor public finance signals across UK limited companies, including new charges registered at Companies House and filed accounts, which helps our broking team read demand and package deals efficiently. That is general intelligence from public records; it is not a claim about the specific clients on your books. Your warm relationship and your timing are what make a referral worth placing.
How you get paid and stay informed
Refer through the introducer portal or send the client to us with your reference code. You can watch each referral move through broking and submission, so there are no blind spots.
When a deal funds, we calculate your share against the commission the lender actually pays and pass it to you. Nothing is paid on quotes, applications or unfunded deals. There is no minimum payout and no cut-off point on what you have earned.
Your regulatory position
Introducing commercial finance to limited companies is an unregulated activity and needs no FCA authorisation from you.
Where a client is a sole trader or partnership, or where a regulated product such as a regulated mortgage is involved, different rules can apply, and CoreFi routes those cases appropriately rather than asking you to handle them. If your own firm already holds FCA permissions, your regulatory obligations remain yours. CoreFi does not manage your compliance and does not give regulated advice to your clients.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly do I earn a share of?
The commission the lender pays CoreFi on a funded deal. Never a percentage of the loan amount, the deal value or any arrangement fee the client pays. Only funded deals pay out.
How much could I make per referral?
It depends on the deal. CoreFi's average gross commission is around £3,600, so a 5% share is roughly £180 and a 12% share roughly £432 on a deal at that level. Those are illustrative figures only, not a guarantee. Actual commission varies by product, lender and loan size.
How does my share increase?
By the count of funded referrals, not loan size. You start at 5%, move to 8% after ten funded deals and reach 12% after fifty, with a 15% ceiling. Each tier is unlocked by completions, so it is volume over time that drives it.
Do I need to be FCA authorised?
Introducing commercial finance to limited companies needs no FCA authorisation. Sole traders, partnerships or regulated products such as a regulated mortgage sit in different territory, and CoreFi handles those cases through the appropriate route. If your firm already holds permissions, those obligations remain yours.
What finance do you arrange for my clients?
Bridging for chain breaks and auction purchases, buy-to-let and portfolio finance, development finance, commercial mortgages, asset finance and other commercial facilities. We work across a whole-of-market lender panel and place each deal where it fits, so your clients get a proper broker rather than a comparison-site quote.
Is there any cost or commitment?
No joining fee, no target and nothing exclusive. You refer when it suits the client. There is no minimum payout threshold and no cut-off on what you have accumulated.
