Referral Partners

The money for more iron is sitting in their real estate.

Your client wants the machine; your lender wants a bigger down payment or the exposure's maxed. Their shop, yard, home, or rentals usually hold the answer — we pull the equity, you close the equipment deal. Both books grow.

How we unlock your deals

Complex files, handled properly.

🚜

Equity for equipment down payments

Take-outs against the client's real estate that fund the down payment your approval needs — closing deals that stall at the deposit line.

🏭

Shop & yard refinance

Owner-occupied industrial refinanced to free working capital — including oilfield shops and yards in markets where banks pull back.

🏢

Buy the premises, free the cash flow

Owner-occupied purchases that convert rent into equity — and often unlock more equipment credit by strengthening the balance sheet.

🛢️

Resource-economy friendly

Ramin's from the oilpatch — Grande Prairie hours, not Vancouver assumptions. Heavy-industry files get underwritten with lenders who understand the cycle.

💼

Working-capital seconds

Private seconds behind existing firsts that inject capital fast — bridging seasonal gaps, contract mobilizations, and fleet expansions.

↔️

Two-way deal flow

Our commercial and construction clients constantly need equipment lines. Strong equipment-finance partners are exactly where we send them.

Relationship protection

How we protect your client relationship.

🤝

Your client stays your client

We broker mortgages — nothing else. No investments, no insurance, no competing services. Every file comes back to you stronger.

🔍

You stay in the loop

With client consent, you see the proposed structure before it's submitted — leverage, rate, term, and exit — at whatever level of detail you choose.

📋

Documentation done properly

Files built to be defensible — complete, consistent, and explainable to a lender, CRA, or a court if it ever comes to that.

Process

What a referral looks like.

1

Intro call (15 min)

You outline the situation — no names needed. We tell you honestly whether we can add value and what the structure could look like.

2

Client conversation

We meet your client, gather documents, and keep you copied at the level of detail you choose.

3

Structure review

Before submission you see the proposed structure and can flag legal, tax, or timing implications we should route around.

4

Funding & handback

The deal funds, you receive a closing summary for your file, and the client returns to you for everything else.

Partner FAQ

Questions partners actually ask.

When should you loop us in?+

The moment an approval comes back short — down payment gap, maxed exposure, or an 'asset-rich, cash-poor' client. If they own real estate, there's usually a structure that gets your deal to yes within days, not months.

Do we overlap at all?+

No — clean lanes. We don't finance equipment; you don't broker mortgages. That's what makes the referral relationship work in both directions without anyone watching their back.

Do you pay referral fees?+

Where regulations allow and with full disclosure to the client, referral arrangements are available — though many of our partners decline them to preserve independence. Either way works, and the client is told either way.

Can you work with clients outside BC and Alberta?+

Our licences cover BC and Alberta. Files in Ontario and other provinces run through our national access desk and underwriting partners — one point of contact, same standards.
