Do you take a referral fee or origination split?+
No. MainStreet does not accept referral fees, lender kickbacks, or revenue share on closed loans. The buyer relationship and platform usage is our product. Independence keeps our matching honest.
How are leads delivered?+
Three options: (1) shared partner inbox on MainStreet, (2) email forwarding with a structured PDF Buyer Passport, or (3) webhook / API into your CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, custom). We work with whatever your team uses.
How exclusive is the program?+
Not exclusive. Buyers see a curated short list of lenders matched to their deal — typically 3 to 5. We pick the best regional and underwriting fits, not just the biggest names.
What's the typical buyer profile?+
Mix of self-funded searchers ($1–3M deals), first-time owner-operators ($500K–$2M), and small holdco buyers ($2–5M). About 60% have completed an EtA program or formal acquisition training. ~30% have a Plaid-verified POF on file at the time of intro.
What does it cost?+
Free during 2026. We may introduce a flat platform fee for lenders in 2027 once we have closed-loan data to justify it. No per-lead or success-fee pricing.
Do you handle the SBA paperwork?+
No. We pass the buyer to you with a complete Buyer Passport. Underwriting, doc collection, and SBA submission stay entirely with your team. We're a top-of-funnel partner, not a loan broker.
