Finance your customers can say yes to.
Dealers, accountants and business advisers: give your customers a fast route to vehicle, plant and equipment finance, without becoming a lender or doing the paperwork yourself.
The short answer
Introduce your customers to DCF and earn a significant share of the commission on every funded deal. The customers stay yours, and any further business they do with us is credited to you too. Joining is free.
A real share of the commission
Partners earn a significant share of the commission on every funded deal they introduce.
Your customers stay yours
Any business they do with us after the initial introduction continues to be credited to you, not just the first deal.
Who it’s for
Vehicle and equipment dealers
Close more sales by offering finance at the point of sale. Your customer gets a payment figure straight away, and you keep the relationship.
Accountants and bookkeepers
Your clients ask how to fund a van, a machine or a growth plan. Refer them to a broker who searches a wide lender panel and keeps you in the loop.
Business advisers and solicitors
Finance questions come up in every conversation with growing limited companies. Pass them on knowing they will be handled properly.
Suppliers and auction houses
Help buyers complete a purchase by arranging the funding alongside it.
