PRIVATE LENDING REFERRAL AGENT AGREEMENT
This Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between the undersigned Borrower (“Borrower”) and Signature Lending Group LLC (“Referral Agent”) as of the date signed below.
1. Purpose
The Referral Agent facilitates introductions between Borrowers and private lending sources for potential funding opportunities. The purpose of this Agreement is to outline the terms under which the Referral Agent will introduce potential lenders to the Borrower.
2. Non-Circumvention & Non-Solicitation
The Borrower agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly:
Circumvent, bypass, or attempt to bypass the Referral Agent to avoid payment of the Referral Agent’s fee; or
Solicit or continue any financial relationship with any lender introduced by the Referral Agent without ensuring the Referral Agent is appropriately compensated as outlined in this Agreement.
These obligations shall remain in effect in perpetuity from the Effective Date.
3. Finder’s Fee
In consideration for the Referral Agent’s role in introducing the Borrower to potential lending sources, the Borrower agrees that:
The Referral Agent shall receive a 2% (two percent) Finder’s Fee based on the total funded amount.
This fee shall be paid directly to the Referral Agent at the time of funding.
The Borrower hereby authorizes any lender involved in the transaction to pay the 2% Finder’s Fee directly to the Referral Agent on their behalf.
4. Lender Independence
The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:
The lender may charge its own independent origination fee, interest, and other loan terms, separate and apart from the Referral Agent’s fee.
The Referral Agent has no role or influence in setting those terms and does not participate in the underwriting, negotiation, or servicing of the loan.
5. Disclaimer
The Referral Agent is not a bank, licensed broker, financial advisor, or lending institution. The Referral Agent’s role is strictly limited to introducing lending sources to the Borrower.
This is a business-to-business transaction. The Referral Agent provides no advice or guarantees regarding funding, rates, or approvals. The Borrower is solely responsible for reviewing, understanding, and agreeing to any terms presented by the lender.
6. Governing Law & Legal Fees
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
In the event of any dispute, claim, or legal action to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower shall be responsible for and shall reimburse the Referral Agent for all legal fees, court costs, and related expenses incurred by the Referral Agent, whether incurred in negotiation, litigation, arbitration, or collection efforts, regardless of whether suit is filed.
