Get paid
Commission is set at completion, topped up if you climb a tier, and paid in the monthly payout run once we receive our fee.
Paid on every deal that completes
You earn a share of our fee on every referral that completes, and your share grows as more of your referrals complete. Your client never pays a penny more. Full terms are set out in the Introducer Agreement when you apply.
- Your client pays nothing extraYour commission comes out of GBF's fee, never added to the client's bill.
- Covered for 12 monthsAny facility your client completes with us within 12 months of your referral earns you commission.
- Climb and get topped upHit a new tier and your earlier deals that year are topped up. Your count restarts on your agreement anniversary.

Partner questions
Do I need to be FCA authorised?
No. You introduce the client and pass on information. You don't advise on or arrange the finance. Your agreement sets out exactly what you can and can't say.
When do I get paid?
In the monthly payout run after we receive our fee, normally within 30 days of completion. You'll get a remittance and a self-billing invoice.
What if the client already knows GBF?
We check every referral against our records. If we've worked with the client in the last 12 months, we'll tell you before you submit.
Can my colleagues refer too?
Yes. Add your team and every referral counts towards your firm's tier. Only firm admins see payout details.
Will my client know I'm paid?
Yes. We tell clients that an introducer may receive part of GBF's fee. It's good practice and keeps everyone's trust intact.
What if the deal doesn't complete?
Nothing is owed either way. You'll see why in your dashboard, and any later facility within 12 months of your referral still counts.
