Your clients and portfolio companies may be sitting on years of email, chat, tickets and code that AI labs license. Send them to us, or introduce us, and we handle the rest.

**Short answer:** Advisors refer companies to FileFunding by choosing "I'm referring a company" in the free estimator or by emailing hello@filefunding.com. We assess the company, compare offers from the AI labs and data programs we work with, and the company decides. It's free for the company. Partners earn 20% of FileFunding's fee (which the labs and data companies pay us, not the seller) on deals that close, agreed in writing. ISOs and funders: see the [partner kit](https://filefunding.com/partners/kit).

## Partner payout: 20% of our fee

- **20% of FileFunding's fee** on each deal that closes with a company you introduced. Not 20% of the deal itself.
- Our fee comes from the AI labs and data companies we work with. The company you refer pays nothing.
- Paid after the deal closes and FileFunding has been paid. Nothing is owed if no deal closes.
- Agreed in writing before you refer. Your referral is disclosed to the company.

Example only: for every $1,000 FileFunding is paid on a closed deal, the referring partner earns $200. The company you referred pays nothing.

## Partner questions

**Q: Who can refer a company?**
ISOs, funders, lawyers, accountants, VCs, liquidators, brokers and other advisors who work with companies that hold years of business records, especially ones winding down.

**Q: How do I refer a company?**
Start the free estimate and choose "I'm referring a company", or email us with the company's name and website and how you know them. We take it from there and keep you posted.

**Q: Do you pay referral fees?**
Yes. Referral partners earn 20% of our fee on any deal that closes with a company they introduced. That's 20% of FileFunding's fee, not 20% of the deal. Our fee is paid by the AI labs and data companies we work with, never by the company you refer, so the referral costs your client nothing. Your share is paid only after the deal closes and we've been paid, terms are agreed in writing, and your referral is disclosed to the company. Where professional rules limit referral fees, as they do for some lawyers and trustees, we follow them.
