Partner programme for bloggers, consultants and communities
Earn 1% of the deal value on every completed sale you refer. Built for people whose audience already trusts them on business, exits and M&A.
Who the programme is for
You write, advise or run a community for business owners, founders or investors. Some of them will sell a company, buy one or bring in a partner in the next few years. We are a business broker working across the United Kingdom, the EU and UA, and we pay for introductions that turn into completed deals.
- Bloggers, YouTubers and newsletter authors covering entrepreneurship, finance, franchising or relocation.
- Business consultants, coaches and M&A advisers whose clients ask what their company is worth or how to exit.
- Accountants, solicitors and financial advisers who see the moment an owner starts thinking about a sale.
- Niche communities and associations: business clubs, expat groups, industry bodies, franchise networks.
How it works
- Apply with the form below. We reply within two working days.
- Get your referral code and link. Every visitor who arrives through your link is tagged, and every enquiry they send carries your code.
- Refer sellers and buyers. Share your link in articles, newsletters, videos or one-to-one. You can also introduce a client to us directly by email.
- We do the work. Valuation, marketing, buyer search, negotiation and completion are on us. You get a monthly statement of your referrals and their status.
- You are paid when the deal completes. The referral fee is transferred within 30 days of us receiving our success fee.
What you earn
| Referral | Your fee | When it is paid |
|---|---|---|
| Business owner who lists and sells with us | 1% of the completed deal value | Within 30 days of completion |
| Buyer who completes a purchase through us | 1% of the completed deal value | Within 30 days of completion |
The fee is paid only when a deal you referred completes and we have received our commission. One percent of a £500,000 sale is £5,000. One percent of a £3 million sale is £30,000. There is no cap on the number of referrals, no minimum volume and no fee for enquiries that do not lead to a completed deal.
Attribution
A referral is yours when a person first reaches us through your link or names you in the enquiry, or when you introduce them to us by email before they contact us. Your link is remembered for 12 months, so a reader who comes back later still counts. If two partners claim the same client, the first introduction wins. We show you the status of each referral in your monthly statement: new, in discussion, listed, under offer, completed.
What we give you
- A personal referral link and code, plus UTM-tagged links for each channel.
- Ready-to-use texts and banners in English and Ukrainian, and article ideas from our own market data.
- A free introductory call with a broker for any of your clients, with your name on the introduction.
- Co-branded webinars or workshop sessions for your community on selling, buying and valuing a business.
- A named contact at SC Business Brokers and a monthly statement.
Rules
- Disclose the partnership where required. In the UK the ASA and CMA expect affiliate links and paid recommendations to be labelled; in the EU similar rules apply under consumer law.
- No paid search on our brand name, no unsolicited bulk email, no misleading claims about prices, timing or guaranteed sales.
- Referral fees are paid to businesses and sole traders against an invoice. Where professional rules restrict referral fees for your profession, we agree a compliant alternative, such as a paid introduction service.
- We can end the partnership if these rules are broken. Fees already earned on completed deals are still paid.
