Every deal inside the FC ecosystem is structured to produce three winners. Not as a brand statement. As a commercial requirement.

Most models reward one party well. FC was built to reward everyone.
The structure is transparent by design. The splits are published. The incentives are aligned. And every participant - Associate, Founder, and Network Member - knows exactly what they stand to gain before they commit.
Here's how each party wins.
The Associate
Associates earn 75% of every platform-sourced retainer from day one. Source your own client and that rises to 90%. No hidden deductions. No opaque structures. A direct share of the commercial value they help create.
On top of the retainer - access to 80+ commission partner programmes across SaaS, finance, legal, HR, and operations, generating passive income alongside client work. Within 18-24 months, a full portfolio exceeds the UK FA benchmark of £35-45k. More autonomy, more upside, and more transferable experience than any employment contract could offer.
The Founder
Our top tier engagement runs at £2,000 per month. Senior-quality execution. 30-day notice. No long-term lock-in.
The Net Positive Guarantee means the Associate's work must generate measurable value equal to the retainer before any additional scope is unlocked. The investment pays for itself before it scales.
Beyond day-to-day execution - a documented pathway to investment readiness, from first commercial engagement through to warm introductions into a network of 25,000+ investors across Family Offices, VCs, Angels, and PE firms globally.
The Ecosystem
Every deal closed strengthens the Hub. Every commercial win generates a case study that attracts stronger founders. Stronger founders attract better-qualified operators. Better operators generate more referrals.
The flywheel doesn't need advertising. It needs the model to work.
And it does.
Network members who refer founders earn 10% of the retainer for 12 consecutive months. One top tier referral: £2,400. Five: £12,000. Without cold outreach, without pitch decks, without a sales cycle.
The philosophy.
Transparency isn't a value statement at FC. It's a commercial strategy. When everyone can see exactly how value is distributed, trust compounds. When trust compounds, referrals compound. When referrals compound, the ecosystem scales without spending a pound on advertising.
The best networks aren't built on who you know. They're built on what you do for each other.
That's what we built the infrastructure around.
