For CPAs, accountants & bookkeepers

Your clients ask you about money first. Have a good answer ready.

When a client needs equipment, a building, working capital or a buyout, introduce them to Capco Capital. Our commercial lending advisors find the right fit in our lender network, and you stay the person they trust with their numbers.

Up front: Any referral fee goes to your firm and is disclosed to your client in writing, signed and dated, before the introduction. No fee if your firm will prepare the statements for the loan package. How it works

Situations you see every week

You see it in the numbers before anyone else

Tax season shows the need

The cash crunch, the aging equipment or the expansion plan shows up in the books long before the client says it out loud.

Growing faster than cash

Receivables, payroll and inventory outrun the bank balance, and they need working capital that fits the cycle.

A building or a buyout

A building, a second location or buying out a partner, and they want to know what's realistic before they commit.

Stuck in a costly advance

Daily debits from a merchant cash advance are eating the margin, and they need a way out into a real loan.

How it works for you

Three steps, and you never work a file

  1. Disclose it first, in writing

    Before the introduction, give your client a signed, dated written disclosure of any referral fee. Or choose no fee and skip it.

  2. Send them over

    From your portal in about two minutes, with your personal link, or with a quick call. We reach out respectfully and do the work.

  3. Follow along

    Your client uploads documents to us directly, so you never send us tax returns. Your portal shows each introduction's stage and deal size.

Your client hears it from you first

A referral fee to your firm, disclosed to your client

Where your rules allow it, your firm receives 25% of our fee when a deal you introduced funds, and your client gets a signed, dated written disclosure before the introduction. If your firm will prepare the statements for the loan package, no fee applies.

A sentence you can adapt for your client
"I'd like to introduce you to Capco Capital, a commercial lending advisory firm, for your business financing. If it closes, Capco Capital may pay my firm a referral fee of 25% of the fee they receive (estimated at $____). You're free to work with anyone you choose."

Have your client sign and date it before the introduction, sign it yourself, and keep a copy with the client file.

Preparing the loan package? No fee.

No fee applies to a client for whom your firm performs an audit or review, compiles financial statements a lender may use, or examines prospective financial information. A lender is a third party, so if your firm will prepare the statements for the loan package, take no fee. Introduce them anyway: they get the same help.

Prefer no fee?

Tick the box when you sign up, or tell us any time after, and we'll set your account to no-fee. Your portal, your link and your client's experience stay exactly the same.

  • A signed, dated written disclosure to your client before the introduction.
  • No fee for a client whose statements your firm audits, reviews or compiles for a lender, or whose prospective financial information your firm examines.
  • The fee is paid to your firm, after a deal funds and we're paid.
  • Don't send us client tax returns. Your client uploads documents to us directly (IRC § 7216).
What your client gets

Real help, not a sales pitch

A Capital Position Report

A plain-language read on where the business stands with lenders, built from public records and their own numbers, and what would make the file stronger.

An honest read

If it's a fit, we say so and get to work. If it isn't, we tell them why and what would change it. No runaround.

The right lender, not just any lender

We match the request to lenders in our network that fit it. Real business financing, never a merchant cash advance dressed up as a loan.

Read the Referral Partner Agreement

Referral Partner Agreement · version 2026-10-08.D1

1. Who this is between

This agreement is between Capco Capital LLC ("Capco Capital", "we") and you, the referral partner. Capco Capital LLC is a commercial lending advisor. We are not a lender: we advise business owners and arrange financing through our lender network.

2. What you do: introduce, nothing more

You introduce business owners who may need commercial, business-purpose financing. That is the whole job. You do not negotiate loan terms, quote rates, obtain or present loan offers, give credit or financial advice, take applications or documents, or promise anyone an approval. You never collect a fee, deposit or anything else of value from a borrower. You are not our employee, agent or broker, and you don't speak for us.

3. Permission to contact

Before you send us a business, the owner must have agreed to be contacted by Capco Capital LLC about financing. Each time you refer a business you confirm that they did. We contact them ourselves; your introduction is not marketing consent for anything else.

4. Your referral fee

Capco Capital LLC pays a referral fee only when a deal you introduced actually funds, and only after we have been paid. The amount follows the fee schedule we set with you and show in your partner portal. Any estimate shown before a deal funds is only an estimate: the fee is figured from what we are actually paid. No fee is owed on a deal that doesn't fund, and fees apply to commercial, business-purpose financing only, never to residential mortgages or any real-estate transaction. Where a state's law doesn't allow a fee to an unlicensed referrer on a particular loan, no fee applies to that loan. Any fee paid is disclosed to the borrower. We pay fees only once we have a current, signed Form W-9 from you on record (renewed every 12 months); earned fees wait for it.

5. Your client disclosure

Because you serve your own clients, before you introduce a client you give them a written disclosure of the referral fee (that Capco Capital LLC pays it, and how much or how it is figured), signed and dated by you and your client, and you follow your professional rules on referral compensation. If those rules don't allow a fee for a particular client, don't take one: tell us, and no fee applies to that referral. CPAs: no fee applies to a client for whom your firm performs an audit, a review, a compilation a third party may use (a lender is a third party, so if your firm will prepare the statements for the loan package, no fee applies) or an examination of prospective financial information (AICPA Code of Professional Conduct, ET 1.520.001), and a CPA's fee is paid to the CPA firm, not to a person on its staff. Accountants and bookkeepers: the same signed written disclosure, every time. Financial planners and wealth managers: no fee until your firm's compliance officer approves this arrangement in writing; your firm discloses referral compensation as its rules require (for example Form ADV Part 2A, Item 14), a broker-dealer representative gives the firm written notice of this outside activity (FINRA Rule 3270 or its successor), and we pay whoever your firm designates. If you'd rather we set your account to no fee, tell us. You confirm the disclosure each time you send us a referral from your portal.

6. Keeping the fee clean

You confirm you aren't making an introduction as an officer, employee, agent or attorney of a bank, credit union or other financial institution for the business you refer. If you are, tell us: that introduction belongs in our bank lane, where no fee applies to anyone. If you work for someone else, you have your employer's written consent to receive this fee. If you sell the equipment or service being financed, the fee is never added to your price, and if a lender also pays you a dealer reserve on the deal, tell us so both are disclosed, or no fee applies. If you sell insurance, the fee is never tied to an insurance sale, and your client stays free to buy any insurance a lender requires from any agent they choose. If you prepare tax returns, never send us a client's tax return information without their signed consent under IRC § 7216; the easiest path is for your client to upload documents to us directly.

7. Where we work

We arrange financing nationwide except California. Please don't refer California businesses: we will decline them, and no fee applies.

8. Your portal

Your partner portal shows the businesses you referred, where each one stands, the deal size, the property address on real-estate deals, and your fee. The borrower's financials, documents, credit and lender details stay private between them and us, and are never shared with you. Keep what you see about a referred business confidential, and keep your sign-in to yourself.

9. Promotion rules

You may share Capco Capital content and your personal referral link wherever and as often as you like. Because you earn a fee, every post must clearly disclose it: keep the disclosure line we provide ("#ad · I earn a referral fee from Capco Capital if you're funded through my link.") where people will see it. You may add your own voice, but don't change what a post says about financing, and never state or imply rates, terms, approvals or guaranteed funding. Don't target or promote to California. Never collect anyone's financial information yourself; people apply with us directly. We may ask you to edit or remove a post that doesn't follow these rules.

10. Ending it

Either side can end this agreement at any time by telling the other in writing. A fee already earned on a deal that funded from your introduction is still paid.

Van reviews every application personally. Once you're approved you'll get an email with your portal sign-in. No cost, no obligation.

Questions

Straight answers

Can a CPA accept a referral fee?

Only when your firm doesn't audit, review, compile statements a lender may use, or examine prospective financial information for that client (AICPA Code ET 1.520.001), and only with a signed, dated written disclosure to the client before the introduction. The fee is paid to your firm. Your state board may add rules, so check yours.

What if my firm prepares the financial statements for the loan?

Then no fee applies to that client. A lender is a third party, so statements your firm compiles for the loan package fall under the rule. Introduce them anyway: they get exactly the same help.

Can I send you my client's tax returns?

Please don't. Tax-return information can only move with your client's prior signed consent (IRC § 7216), so we ask the client to upload their documents to us directly through a secure link.

Do I have to take a fee?

No. Plenty of professionals prefer not to. Tell us when you sign up (or any time after) and we'll set your account to no-fee. Your portal works the same.

Will you take over my client?

No. We arrange the financing and nothing else. We don't offer tax or accounting services, and we send your client back to you for everything that isn't the loan.

Capco Capital LLC is a commercial lending advisor, not a lender. We arrange commercial, business-purpose financing through our lender network, nationwide except California; credit decisions are made by the lenders. Referral fees apply only to funded commercial, business-purpose deals, never to residential mortgages or real estate transactions. They are paid after we're paid with a current W-9 on file, are never added to the loan or charged to the borrower, and are disclosed to the borrower in writing. Partners introduce only: they never quote, obtain, present or negotiate financing terms. If you refer as someone's employee, we'll ask for your employer's written consent before any fee. Partners in licensed professions disclose any fee to their own clients as their professional rules require, and take none where those rules don't allow it. Officers, employees, agents and attorneys of a bank or credit union belong on our bank page: no fee ever applies to them or their institution. Calculator figures are illustrative, not a promise: actual fees depend on what funds.
