Partner Standards
GrowLocal Capital does not publish a public directory of its funding-provider partners. Instead, this page explains the standards every provider must meet before it can be considered for any client referral.
Active status
The provider's partner record must be marked active. A provider that has been paused or deactivated is never eligible for a new referral.
Signed and current agreement
GrowLocal Capital must have a signed partner agreement on file with the provider, and that agreement must not have expired or lapsed.
State-coverage match
The provider must serve the state where the referred business operates. A provider that does not cover a client's state is not eligible for that referral.
Product-category match
The provider must offer the specific funding category relevant to the client's situation. For example, equipment financing versus invoice factoring.
Verification not expired
The provider's underlying verification, confirming it is a legitimate, currently operating business, must be current and not expired.
Advertising and referral-terms approval
The provider's advertising claims and referral compensation terms must be reviewed, approved, and on file before any referral can be made.
Additional safeguards
All-or-nothing eligibility
A provider that fails any single standard is never selectable for a referral. The check is all-or-nothing, not a matter of degree.
Human confirmation on every referral
Meeting these standards makes a provider eligible to be considered. A GrowLocal Capital administrator still confirms each referral individually.
Client authorization required
Beyond provider eligibility, every referral also requires the client's explicit authorization before any information is shared. See How It Works for details.
There is no automatic matching between a client and a provider. Every referral requires a person to confirm it and the client to authorize it. See How It Works.
A provider that fails any one of these standards is never selectable for a referral. The check is all-or-nothing. Meeting these standards makes a provider eligible to be considered; it does not mean every eligible provider is presented to every client, and it does not mean a referral will happen automatically.
GrowLocal Capital and GrowLocalHub are affiliated services. GrowLocal Capital may receive compensation from independent funding providers for certain referrals. GrowLocalHub may separately earn revenue if you voluntarily purchase its website or business-growth services. You are not required to purchase GrowLocalHub services to use GrowLocal Capital, receive an assessment, or authorize a provider referral.
You may choose GrowLocalHub, another provider, or no provider for website, marketing, automation, or related services. A GrowLocalHub purchase is not required for a funding-provider introduction.
