Why accountants are adding lending to their advisory

Your clients already trust you with their finances. Funding is a natural extension, and with Fundably, it's pure profit.

New revenue from existing clients

Every time a client needs funding, whether working capital, growth finance, or an asset purchase, you earn up to 30% commission. No extra work. We handle the broker side.

Deepen client relationships

Funding is the most common unmet need for SME clients. Offering it proactively positions you as a true advisory partner, not just a compliance provider.

Win new clients

Firms that offer funding advisory stand out in a crowded market. Prospects looking for a full-service accountant choose the one that can help them grow.

We handle all compliance

Fundably acts as the commercial finance broker, so you don't need FCA authorisation. We handle regulatory obligations, data protection, and lender relationships. NACFB member. ICO registered.

Common questions from accountants

How much do accountants typically earn from lending referrals?
Fundably pays partners up to 30% of the commission we earn from the lender on every funded deal. Commission averages around £2,000 per funding event but can range from £100 on small deals to £10,000+ on larger ones. An accountancy firm referring just 2–3 clients per month could earn £4,000–£6,000+ in additional annual revenue with zero extra overhead. Commission is paid within 14 days.
Do I need to be regulated to refer clients to Fundably?
No. Fundably is the commercial finance broker and carries all compliance responsibilities. Partners who introduce or refer clients do not need any regulatory permissions of their own. All you need to do is make the introduction and we handle everything else.
Can I check which lenders my client would match with before referring them?
Yes. The partner portal includes access to Fundably's matching engine at no cost. Enter a few details about your client and see which lenders they are eligible for before making a referral. No commitment and no impact on your client's credit score.
Will applying affect my client's credit score?
No. The initial matching process uses a soft credit check which does not affect your client's credit score and is not visible to other lenders. A hard credit check only occurs if your client chooses to proceed with a specific lender's offer and formally applies. We make this clear to applicants at every stage.
What types of businesses can my clients fund?
Fundably supports UK limited companies (Ltd) with at least 3 months of trading history and monthly revenue. We cover most sectors. Our 50+ lender panel includes options for businesses turning over from £50k to £50m+ annually. Sole traders, partnerships of three or fewer persons, and unincorporated businesses are not currently eligible.
What funding types are available?
Our 50+ lender panel covers term loans, revenue-based finance, invoice finance, merchant cash advances, credit lines, business credit cards and R&D tax credits. We match each client to the most appropriate product and lender for their situation. Your client fills in one form and we handle the rest.
What happens if my client gets declined?
If they're not approved by one lender, we automatically match them to another. Our 50+ panel means most businesses find a lender. If they are ultimately declined everywhere, we provide detailed feedback so your client understands their options, and your advisory relationship stays intact.
How is client data handled?
All client data is processed in accordance with UK GDPR. We are registered with the ICO (ZB024107). Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and is only shared with lenders as part of the matching and application process with the client's explicit consent. We do not sell or share data for any other purpose.
How does Fundably compare to paid broker platforms?
Some broker platforms charge monthly subscription fees (£95–£395/month) and offer partners a share of commission ranging from 10% on their free tier to 30% on their most expensive plan. Fundably pays partners up to 30% of the commission we earn from lenders, with zero monthly fees, zero setup costs, and no minimum volumes. That's a potential saving of £1,140-£4,740 per year in fees alone. We also offer embedded integration options (API, Web Component, iFrame) alongside a free partner portal.
Can I white-label Fundably for my accountancy firm?
Yes. For firms wanting deeper integration, Fundably offers API, Web Component, and iFrame embed options that put your brand front and centre. For simpler referrals, your free partner portal generates a branded referral link you can share with clients directly. All options are free, with no setup fees or monthly costs.
