Equipment finance is going digital, and it's happening now. The industry is on track to grow from roughly $1.34 trillion today to over $3.3 trillion by 2032 in U.S. equipment financing, with digital origination expected to hit roughly a 34% of that volume. Whoever owns the originator relationships during that shift owns them well after it's over, and right now, almost nobody does.
Arkra is an AI-native equipment finance marketplace with live lenders and funded deals today. We're not boxed into one industry or deal size, we're the connective layer across our full lender network, with appetites from $25K to $10M+. If you've got a deal, odds are we've got a lender who wants it.
We're launching Arkra's BD Affiliate Program: a 1099, commission-only seat for people who already originate equipment finance deals today and want to own that shift instead of catching up to it later.
Here's what makes this different from a normal broker desk: you don't negotiate rates or structure the deal. Our AI underwriting prices every deal against our full lender panel instantly, funding in days instead of weeks, and hands you a real, fundable offer to present to your borrower. You bring the business. We bring the lender, pricing engine, the paperwork, and the speed.
This is an affiliate relationship, not employment. No base, no draw, no set hours, no exclusivity, no one supervising your calendar. You keep running your existing business and add Arkra as another way to place deals, especially the ones that don't fit your usual shop.
THE DEAL
We're not going to make you sit through three interviews to find out the split. Here it is:
- Standard rate: 40% of Arkra's origination fee on every deal you source that funds. Uncapped, no ceiling, no matter how much volume you bring.
- Founding affiliate rate: 60% on your first 5 funded deals. Early affiliates who help us build this get the best rate we'll ever offer.
- Trail commission: when a borrower you brought in comes back for another deal, you keep earning. 100% of your rate on their next deal, 50% on the one after that, 20% on the deals after that. Three repeat deals with real commission attached, not a one-time bounty.
- Paid within 15 days of funding.
OTE: $75,000 to $175,000+, and uncapped means exactly that, this is what a motivated affiliate closing 1 to 3 deals a month can expect, there’s no ceiling on what's possible. It climbs further once founding-rate deals and trail commission from repeat borrowers start stacking on top. Modeled on Arkra's real deal range and origination fee, illustrative, not a guarantee.
Straight talk: this isn't instant money. Building a pipeline takes real time, even though we're faster than the status quo, and your first few deals are the hardest. But every deal you bring in isn't a one-time payday, it's a borrower relationship that keeps paying you when they come back. Build your book and your pipeline compounds: repeat borrowers turn into a stream of income stacked on top of whatever new deals you're sourcing that month. If you've got a book of relationships and you're tired of watching good deals die to credit fatigue or no placement, this is built for you, and it gets better every month you stay in it.
HOW IT WORKS
- You get platform access with your own dashboard to track every borrower you bring on.
- You bring the deal. The platform handles underwriting and pricing. You present the offer. It funds. You get paid.
- Every time that borrower does another deal with Arkra, you get paid again.
- The platform blocks duplicate borrowers, so the relationship you built is protected, and so is what you earn from it.
WHO YOU ARE
- Self-driven and motivated, you want to work your own hours and rewarded for your success
- Existing relationships with equipment buyers, or an active pipeline (construction, trucking, medical, manufacturing, or similar)
- Comfortable eating what you hunt
- Experience in equipment finance or equipment sales preferred
- Non-exclusive: keep everything you're already doing, this is additive, not a replacement
THIS ISN'T FOR YOU IF
- You're not driven enough to do outreach. Building a book takes real work.
- You don't have existing equipment-finance relationships or an active pipeline to bring on day one. This isn't a role where we teach you to build a book from zero.
- You want a manager, a schedule, or someone checking in on you. There isn't one.
- You're applying to a lot of postings today and haven't read this far. Good, keep scrolling.
