Cardiff Introduces Affiliate Program Incentivizing Small Business Lending Referrals

Trusted online small business lender launches an affiliate program that rewards individuals and business entities for small business funding referrals, even if the referral doesn't result in a loan.

(PRUnderground) July 7th, 2025

Since 2004, Cardiff has provided small businesses access to various funding options to grow their businesses, including merchant cash advances (MCAs), equipment financing, lines of credit, and business credit cards. A leader in providing fast approvals and access to funding, the company sets itself apart as a small-business-friendly financier. To encourage business referrals and transform business connections into potential clients, Cardiff has unveiled their Cardiff Affiliate Program, rewarding affiliates who refer qualifying applicants even if they don’t secure a loan with Cardiff.

Cardiff is a prominent player in the small business funding sector, having funded over $9 billion for small businesses to date. The company’s new affiliate program leverages this track record, offering potential earnings for various professionals, including marketing agency owners, accountants, consultants, bankers, and financial advisors. This initiative expands Cardiff’s reach and creates opportunities for individuals to capitalize on their existing networks and expertise in the small business ecosystem by referring those looking for a small business loan to Cardiff.

The Cardiff Affiliate Program taps into the growing digital and internet affiliate marketing trend, offering a unique opportunity for those interested in the financial services sector. Unlike many affiliate programs focusing on consumer products, Cardiff’s program targets the B2B market, allowing affiliates to leverage their professional networks and industry knowledge. This approach to affiliate marketing may be particularly appealing to those with connections in the small business community, but may not have previously considered ways to monetize these relationships.

“Our new affiliate program is a game-changer for professionals who interact with small businesses regularly. It’s not just about earning commissions; it’s about creating value for your network by connecting them with the financing they need to grow, whether they need a small business loan, equipment financing, or MCA” said William Stern, Managing Director of Cardiff. “We’ve designed this program to be flexible and rewarding, allowing affiliates to leverage their existing relationships and industry expertise in a way that benefits everyone involved.”

Cardiff’s innovative Affiliate Program bridges the gap between small businesses and the essential funding they need. It benefits affiliates and contributes to the growth of the small business ecosystem.
