When to run this

Run this play when referrals stop being occasional and start being a regular part of your practice. Once you are handling a steady flow, partner tools make submitting and tracking matters faster and tidier than one-off forms.

How it works

Partnering with Merion is designed to make the referral relationship smoother. As a partner you can submit matters efficiently, keep visibility over the accounts you have referred, and rely on a consistent point of contact — so you spend less time on administration and more on advising clients.

The model remains the same for your clients: commission-only recovery with no upfront cost. Partnering changes how easily you work, not what the client pays.

What to tell the client

From the client's side, little changes except that their adviser is even better organised. You can reassure them that their matters are tracked carefully, handled confidentially, and that nothing happens without their instruction. Your added efficiency simply means quicker, clearer updates.

What happens next

If a steady referral flow describes your practice, it is worth formalising the relationship — you can become a partner to streamline submissions and tracking. You can still refer a debt as a one-off any time.

Key takeaways

  • Partner tools suit advisers with a regular flow of referrals.
  • Partnering improves your efficiency, not the client's cost.
  • Visibility and a consistent contact make client updates easier.

FAQ

Do I need to become a partner to refer a debt?

No. You can refer a single debt any time using the standard form. Partnering simply streamlines things if you refer regularly.

Does partnering change what my clients pay?

No. Clients still benefit from commission-only, no-recovery-no-fee recovery. Partnering improves how efficiently you, the adviser, work.

What do partners gain over one-off referrers?

Smoother submission, better visibility over referred matters, and a consistent point of contact — useful when you handle multiple accounts.
