Quick Answer

T.A.G. affiliates earn up to 2% of the funded amount on deals that close through their referral link, regardless of location. Illustration only: a $50,000 funded deal is up to $1,000, a $100,000 funded deal is up to $2,000, and a $1,000,000 funded deal is up to $20,000. Earnings are not guaranteed and depend on the referred business qualifying and completing funding.

Who's Positioned to Refer in Illinois

Chicago's position as a national logistics and rail hub, combined with a strong manufacturing base and dense food-service industry, makes Illinois a state where working-capital needs come up often, from covering a slow season to funding a new distribution contract.

Logistics & Distribution Manufacturing Food Service Professional Services

CPAs and consultants working with distributors, manufacturers, and restaurant operators across Illinois are a natural referral source. A huge share of North American intermodal rail traffic funnels through Chicago's rail yards, so small drayage and transload companies serving that interchange live with chronic congestion and container dwell time that can trigger per-diem detention charges from the rail carriers, an unpredictable cost that has nothing to do with how much freight the company is actually moving.

T.A.G. Business Funding is based in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, and works with referral partners and business owners across Illinois remotely: we do not maintain a local office in Illinois.
