already advise.

Who this fits

Built for trusted professionals.

If you're already the person small business owners call when something serious comes up, you're already doing the hard part of this relationship.

Accountants & CPAs

You know the numbers, and the moments when working capital actually makes sense.

Financial advisors

A capital channel that complements your existing client relationships without conflict.

Business consultants

Help clients execute on growth plans by connecting them with a lender that moves quickly.

Attorneys

For transactional, growth, or restructuring scenarios where short-term capital is the right tool.

Vendors & service providers

When clients want to expand, renovate, or scale, capital is often the unlock.

Industry associations

A trusted lending partner you can confidently introduce to your members.

Ideal referral partners

Who partners with us.

Beyond the advisors who guide day-to-day operations, a deeper bench of finance and deal professionals send us the clients a bank can't move on fast enough. If you sit close to capital decisions, you already see the moments we're built for.

01

M&A Advisors

Deals stall when a target needs bridge capital to close or to fund post-acquisition working capital. We move on the timeline a transaction demands.

02

Equipment Brokers / Funders

When a client needs operating cash alongside an equipment purchase, or falls outside an equipment lender's box, a direct working capital intro keeps the deal whole.

03

Banks / ABL / Factors

Clients that don't fit a bank's credit box or need capital faster than a facility can deploy get a clean, relationship-protective referral instead of a flat decline.

04

Bankers

When a deposit or commercial-banking client needs short-term working capital the bank can't underwrite in time, you can still point them somewhere that closes.

05

PE Professionals

Portfolio companies often need quick growth or bridge capital between rounds, and a direct funder fills the gap without disturbing the equity story.

How it works

A simple, transparent referral relationship.

The flow is intentionally low-lift: your job is the introduction, ours is everything after.

  1. Make the introduction

    Connect us with a client who could use working capital. A quick email, a warm intro, or our short referral form is enough.

  2. We handle the file

    Our team takes it from there: underwriting, structure, and communication, with you kept in the loop as needed.

  3. Earn on funded deals

    When the file funds, you're compensated. Renewals create ongoing alignment, not one-time wins.

Why PIRS Capital

A lender you can actually recommend.

What makes a PIRS introduction safe to put your name on.

We don't market around your clients

The client stays your client. No outbound marketing to your network, no parallel sales motion, no quiet renewal capture behind your back.

White-glove communication

Your name is attached to this introduction. Our team treats it that way: direct access to decision-makers, clear updates, no awkward handoffs.

Renewal-friendly structures

Built for the merchant's cash cycle, not for one-shot economics. Files that perform renew, and renewals compound your referral earnings over time.

Direct lender, real follow-through

No middle layers. In-house decisions and follow-through you can count on. The same team owns the file from intro to payoff.

What makes a great referral partner

No license. No quotas. Just good introductions.

Referring is intentionally low-lift: there's nothing to qualify for beyond knowing the right moment to make an intro. Here's what the best referral relationships have in common.

You advise U.S. business owners

Accountants, advisors, attorneys, consultants, vendors: anyone small business owners already trust when something serious comes up.

No broker license required

You're introducing, not brokering. No license, no compliance overhead, no obligation to push deals, just a warm intro at the right moment.

You protect your relationships

You only introduce a lender you'd stake your name on. So do we. We don't market around you, and the client stays your client.

U.S.-based clients

We fund established U.S. businesses, so the clients you introduce should be U.S. merchants who could use working capital.

Guidelines, not gates, and definitely not a broker license. If you advise U.S. small businesses and trust us enough to put your name on an introduction, you're a fit. Apply below.

Frequently asked

Referral Partner FAQs.

Do I become a broker if I refer clients?
No. The referral program is specifically for trusted professionals who want to add a working capital channel without operating as a broker. No license, no compliance overhead, no obligation to push deals.
How are referrals compensated?
Referral partners earn on every funded deal, with ongoing economics on renewals. Specific compensation structure is shared during onboarding, and it's tailored to the partner's volume and the kinds of clients they advise, not a flat template.
What happens if my client isn't a fit?
Our underwriter walks through the file and, if it's not a fit today, gives a clear reason and, where useful, a path back. The client doesn't get pushed into a product that doesn't make sense, and your relationship with them stays intact.
How do I track my referrals?
Your partner manager keeps you updated directly: status on each file, funding outcomes, and renewal touchpoints. Referral partners don't need to operate a portal; the relationship is intentionally lighter-touch than the ISO side.
Will PIRS market to my clients after I send them?
No. We don't market around our referral partners. The client stays your client. Your name is attached to the introduction, and our team treats it that way.
What information do I share when making a referral?
Less than you'd expect. A name, the business, a short note on the situation, and a way for our team to reach them. No personal financial documents required from you. We collect what we need directly from the merchant.
