LEAD OWNERSHIP RULES

How Client Exclusivity Works

Occasionally, multiple Brokers may come into contact with the same business owner.

We have implemented lead ownership rules to help you maximise your earning potential.

SUCCESS TIPFollow these guidelines to maintain ownership over all of your leads and clients.

If you have concerns about missing any of them, discuss with your Business

Development Manager.

NEW APPLICATIONS:

Once an application is submitted you have 5 DAYS EXCLUSIVE

OWNERSHIP to complete the application for underwriting. An

application submission is on a first come, first serve basis. If the

application is declined, then that application is PROTECTED

FOR 15 DAYS, during which the client will be blocked from

applying directly with OnDeck or through another broker.

APPROVALS:

Your clients’ approvals are active and PROTECTED FOR 30 DAYS

so you will need to work to close the approved deal within this time.

EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS:

You maintain ownership of a client for UP TO 90 DAYS after

the client pays off their loan. You can utilitise the OnDeck

Partner Portal to manage your renewal portfolio.

ACTIVE BROKER STATUS:

If your paid down clients don’t renew WITHIN 90 DAYS, they

become unrestricted and opened-up to any broker. You can

still work with our renewals team though to renew your client.

FUNDING YOUR CLIENTS

The Closing Process

Once an application is approved, you will receive a Loan Agreement Package that details

the closing process and final steps to funding your clients.

LOAN AGREEMENT PACKAGE & CLOSING DOCUMENTS

After your client is approved for a loan, we will send you a Loan Agreement Package.

This includes a summary of your client’s loan details as well as a list of what OnDeck

needs to remit funds.

The information we need to close a loan varies from customer to customer – it all depends

on the specific application/approval in question. Here is a look at what you can expect:

• Signed Loan Agreement is needed for all customers

• Other documents may include:

- Copy of valid ID of business owner

Loan Process

RENEWALS

When Are Your Clients Eligible To Renew?

Brokers receive commissions on renewals. So how does the renewals process work?

• Clients are eligible to apply for a renewal when they are approximately 50% paid down.

• Brokers receive commissions on net funded amount.

• As a general rule, a client can have no more than three missed payments and may not

have taken on additional short term unsecured financing (i.e. no stacking).

SUCCESS TIPMaintain contact with your clients for the duration of their loan, and let them

know when they are eligible for a renewal. Remember, you have exclusive rights

to a client’s renewal for 90 calendar days once their original loan is fully paid off.
