Become a Partner Submit an Opportunity

Turn your business relationships into more value.

Partner with The Kannan Group to give your clients access to business funding, capital strategy, funding readiness, and specialty financial solutions, without building the infrastructure yourself.

Your Clients. Our Capital Network. One Strategic Partnership.

You bring the relationship. TKG brings the strategy, underwriting knowledge, capital relationships, and execution.

Two ways to partner. One TKG ecosystem.

Pick the lane that matches how you work with businesses today. Both lanes run on the same funding desk, the same underwriting knowledge, and the same relationship protection.

ISO Partners

For funding professionals who originate and manage opportunities.

Built for ISOs, brokers, funding consultants, and finance professionals who actively work with businesses seeking capital.

You originate. We help structure and place.

Explore ISO Partnership

Professional Referral Partners

For trusted advisors who want to add value without becoming funding brokers.

Designed for CPAs, accountants, attorneys, consultants, business coaches, insurance professionals, commercial realtors, payment professionals, bankers, and strategic advisors.

Identify the opportunity. Make the introduction. TKG handles the rest.

Explore Referral Partnership

Your client should not have to start over because one lender says no.

TKG’s value is not simply access to multiple products. The value is the ability to evaluate the entire opportunity and determine the appropriate path.

FIND IT.

Identify what the business actually needs.

FIX IT.

Determine what is preventing approval or limiting funding.

FUND IT.

Match the opportunity with the appropriate capital solution.

More than another funding outlet.

Experienced ISOs already have lenders. What they need is a strategic funding desk for opportunities that do not fit neatly inside one box. That is the role TKG plays behind the ISO.

01

Broader Product Access

One relationship provides access to multiple capital solutions, including direct funders, instead of forcing the ISO to maintain dozens of disconnected relationships.

02

Deal Structuring Support

TKG reviews the opportunity and helps determine how the file should be positioned before it goes anywhere.

03

Funding Readiness Support

When a client is not ready today, TKG identifies the deficiencies and helps create a path toward fundability.

04

Alternative Placement

An MCA decline does not automatically mean a dead opportunity. The business may qualify for another structure.

05

Transparent Compensation

Commission is defined before the opportunity is presented to the client. No surprises after the fact.

06

Relationship Protection

The originating ISO remains an important part of the relationship from first review through funding and renewals.

Add funding solutions without becoming a funding company.

You keep advising. We handle the capital. The partner makes the introduction, and TKG handles the funding analysis, lender and program matching, document requirements, structuring, underwriting coordination, and the funding process.

You Keep Advising. We Handle the Capital.

Referral triggers you already hear

When a client says one of these, that is the moment to make the introduction.

  • “Cash flow is tight.”
  • “We’re opening another location.”
  • “I need equipment.”
  • “The bank turned us down.”
  • “We’re waiting 60 days to get paid.”
  • “I need capital for this contract.”

One relationship. Multiple capital solutions.

Partner questions.

What’s the difference between an ISO Partner and a Referral Partner?

An ISO Partner originates and manages funding opportunities and submits complete files to TKG for structuring and placement. A Referral Partner is a trusted advisor who simply makes the introduction. TKG handles the funding analysis, matching, documents, and process from there.

Do I need experience in business funding?

Not as a Referral Partner. If your clients already trust your advice, you can add value by recognizing a capital need and introducing TKG. ISO Partners are expected to have working experience originating and managing funding opportunities.

What types of financing can TKG provide?

Merchant cash advances, business lines of credit, term loans, SBA financing, equipment financing, commercial real estate, revenue-based financing, specialty medical funding, expansion capital, and working capital. The right program depends on the business, and identifying it is our job.

How is partner compensation determined?

Compensation is defined in your partner agreement and depends on the lane you are in and the funding structure placed. The terms are set before any opportunity is presented to a client.

When will I know my compensation on a transaction?

Before the opportunity is presented to the client. TKG communicates the funding structure and the partner compensation clearly, so there are no surprises at closing.

Who communicates with my client?

That depends on the lane and on what you prefer. ISO Partners often stay front and center with their client while TKG works the file behind the desk. Referral Partners typically make the introduction and let TKG handle the process, with updates back to you.

How does TKG protect my relationship?

The originating partner is recorded and respected on every opportunity. Compensation and funding structures are communicated transparently, client information is handled confidentially, and our objective is renewals and repeat business with you, not around you.

What happens when a client doesn’t currently qualify?

We tell you and the client what is holding the file back and help build a path toward fundability. A not-yet is a future opportunity, not a dead one.

Can I refer opportunities outside of MCA?

Yes. TKG evaluates the entire opportunity and looks across every structure available, from SBA and term loans to equipment, real estate, and specialty programs. An MCA decline elsewhere is often the start of a better placement here.

Can TKG help with complex or specialty transactions?

Yes. Complex and specialty files are where a strategic funding desk earns its keep. We review the opportunity, determine how it should be positioned, and coordinate structuring and underwriting with the appropriate capital source.

Your clients are already asking for capital. Give them somewhere better to go.

Whether you’re an experienced ISO looking for broader funding capabilities or a trusted professional looking to bring more value to your clients, The Kannan Group gives you the infrastructure to do it.
