How CommercialLineOfCredit.com Makes Money
CLOC operates as a borrower-acquisition platform. We earn revenue when businesses we connect with third-party financing providers enter into a financing arrangement. This page explains how that works and what, if any, effect it has on our editorial content.
Potential revenue sources
CLOC may receive compensation through one or more of the following arrangements:
- Referral fees: A payment from a financing provider when a business we referred enters into a financing agreement with them
- Lead sales: Compensation for passing qualified lead information to a financing provider for their own evaluation
- Co-marketing arrangements: Fixed-fee arrangements with financing providers for inclusion in educational content or distribution
The specific arrangements active at any time may not all be listed here. If you have questions about a specific provider relationship, contact us.
What this does NOT mean
Potential compensation does not mean: that any specific lender is endorsed, recommended, or rated above others; that a lender appearing in comparison content paid for inclusion; that a 'Check Your Options' form submission guarantees you will be connected to any specific provider; or that our educational content is written to drive traffic to specific providers.
How we prevent commercial bias
Educational content is produced separately from business development. Pages covering rates, requirements, fees, and qualification factors are written to be accurate and useful to readers regardless of commercial relationships. No individual lender or provider is named in educational content unless explicitly disclosed as illustrative.
Your choices
Submitting the Check Your Options form is voluntary. You can read all educational content on this site, use the calculator, and research commercial credit without submitting any information. If you do submit information and are connected to a provider, you are under no obligation to proceed with any offer you receive.
