For professional introducers
The deals you cannot place.
Commercial, bridging and development enquiries handled properly, with your client returned to you.
Why this exists
Good cases fall through the gaps.
Advisers, brokers and accountants regularly see commercial and specialist enquiries that sit outside their permissions or their lender panel. A trading business wants to buy its premises, a client needs to complete at auction in three weeks, a landlord is converting a shop into flats. The enquiry is real; it simply does not fit where the rest of your work goes.
The usual options are thin. Decline it and the client goes looking elsewhere, often taking the rest of the relationship with them. Or refer it into a network arrangement, where the case disappears into a queue, nobody tells you what is happening, and the first update arrives weeks later when the client rings you to complain.
This is a direct route to someone who will actually handle the case. Chris looks at it personally, tells you honestly whether it is doable and what it will cost, and keeps you informed while it runs. If it is not fundable, you hear that quickly rather than after a month of silence.
How it works
Three steps, no theatre.
- Step 01
Send the outline
An email or a call is enough. No forms, no portal.
- Step 02
You get a straight answer
Whether it is fundable, roughly what it costs, and who is likely to do it. Usually within a working day.
- Step 03
The client stays yours
You choose how involved you stay. We do not cross-sell into your client bank.
Commercial terms
The arrangement, plainly.
- Commission share
- Introducers share in the broker fee earned on completion. The split is agreed with you, case by case, in writing before any work starts.
- When it is paid
- Paid promptly after completion and once we have received our broker fee, against your invoice, on the timescale set out in your introducer agreement.
- Who holds the client
- The client remains yours. We advise on the finance only, and return the client to you once the case completes.
- Compliance position
- Edge Commercial Finance Ltd (company number 16676452). We act as an intermediary, introducing borrowers to lenders, and are not a lender. We arrange commercial mortgages, unregulated bridging and development finance for corporate and investment borrowers; this work falls outside FCA regulation, so we are not authorised or regulated by the FCA. Introducers must satisfy themselves that any referral sits within their own permissions. A written introducer agreement is in place before the first case. We are a member of the NACFB and registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ZB978923).
