Commission structure
Apply as an ISO
Clear economics. Real numbers.
One point equals 1% of the funded amount. Commissions on revenue-based deals commonly run 6–12 points depending on the deal — your exact economics are set in your partner agreement, in writing.
Compensation should be confirmed before the merchant signs.
Renewal rights and attribution are governed by the agreement.
Clawback terms may apply when a funded account defaults early.
Illustrative commission examplesPoints × funded amount
| Funded amount | 6 points | 8 points | 12 points |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $1,500 | $2,000 | $3,000 |
| $50,000 | $3,000 | $4,000 | $6,000 |
| $100,000 | $6,000 | $8,000 | $12,000 |
| $250,000 | $15,000 | $20,000 | $30,000 |
Examples are mathematical illustrations only, not a promise of compensation or deal eligibility. Actual commissions vary and are subject to the executed agreement and transaction-specific terms.
Partner standards
Built for long-term merchant relationships
The best channel relationships protect the business owner, the partner and the funding ecosystem. Clear expectations matter from day one.
What strong partners do
Submit accurate applications and complete documentation.
Set realistic expectations on timing, approval and cost.
Obtain appropriate permission before sharing merchant information.
Stay responsive when underwriting requests additional items.
What damages a file
Misleading advertising or guaranteed-approval claims.
Incomplete or altered documents and undisclosed positions.
Sending the same merchant everywhere without a placement strategy.
Collecting prohibited advance fees or misrepresenting financing terms.
Choose your path
The right partnership depends on how involved you want to be
ISOs own the sales relationship and submit complete files. Other partners can introduce opportunities without managing the entire financing process.

Frequently asked questions
What brokers usually ask before applying
Commissions are quoted in points — one point is 1% of the funded amount. Commissions on revenue-based deals commonly run 6–12 points depending on the deal. Actual compensation depends on the product, transaction, funding source, risk profile and the terms of your partner agreement.
Yes. Elite Funders can work with new and experienced brokers. New partners should be prepared to learn submission requirements, follow marketing and consent standards, and remain responsive throughout the deal process.
A typical initial package includes a completed business funding application and recent business bank statements. Additional documents may be requested based on the financing product, amount and underwriting findings.
Initial review timing depends heavily on file completeness and product type. Complete revenue-based financing files may move quickly, while SBA, term, equipment or asset-based options may require deeper documentation and review.
The operating relationship, communication expectations, attribution and renewal rights should be clearly defined in the partner agreement. Review those terms before submitting business.
Yes. Prospective partners should understand compensation, payment timing, renewal rights, clawbacks, marketing requirements and other obligations before activation.
An ISO generally manages the merchant relationship, collects documents and actively works the deal. An affiliate typically sends tracked traffic or leads and has less involvement in packaging, underwriting and closing.
