Zoom Referral Launches Partner & Capital Scout Program Paying Referral Partners Who Introduce Qualifying Businesses
New partner video shows business brokers, M&A advisors, CPAs, and IT consultants how to help 30+ worker clients unlock $100K to $2M+ from old software files—and earn referral fees on every closed deal.
Dallas, TX - October 17, 2026-- Executive Valuation Summary: U.S. mid-market enterprises with 30+ active employees (or 50+ peak staff for defunct companies) can generate $100,000 to $3,000,000+ in non-dilutive upfront cash by licensing historical operational, ERP, CAD, fleet, and SaaS workflow archives to frontier AI labs through Zoom Referral—with 0% equity dilution, 0% debt covenants, and 100% NIST SP 800-188 cryptographic PII/HIPAA redaction under a two-way mutual NDA.
Zoom Referral's Partner & Capital Scout Briefing shows brokers, advisors, and consultants how to earn referral payouts introducing qualifying companies.
Business brokers, deal advisors, CPAs, and IT consultants talk to business owners with 30 to 500 workers every single week. Yet when a client decides not to sell their company—or when a sale falls through—the advisor usually walks away with $0 for their time. Today, Zoom Referral launched its expanded Partner & Capital Scout Referral Program (Join the Zoom Referral Partner & Capital Scout Portal Here). The program pays advisors and connectors a referral fee every time they introduce a qualifying business that licenses its old software files for $100,000 to $2,000,000+.
Through the free Zoom Referral Partner & Capital Scout Video Briefing, business advisors and well-connected pros learn how to spot qualifying companies in seconds:
- What Clients Qualify: Any active business with 30 or more workers and 2+ years of daily software files (team chat, CRM, bookkeeping, construction, or truck dispatch apps). Any closed or shut-down company that once had 50 or more workers and still has its old cloud backups also qualify.
- Active Business Owners: Help any 30+ worker business owner unlock $100,000 to $2,000,000+ in cash from old software files they are not using. The owner takes on zero debt and gives up zero stock.
- Pre-Sale & Unsold Business Listings: Help owners getting ready to sell their business collect a six- or seven-figure cash check before going to market. Or turn a dead, unsold listing into a fast cash win for both the owner and you.
- Closed or Shut-Down Companies: Help founders, investors, or bankruptcy trustees of closed 50+ worker companies turn leftover cloud backups into $100,000 to $2,000,000+ before the servers are erased.
- Zoom Referral Handles 100% of the Work: Partners do not need to know anything about AI or computer code. You simply share your referral link or introduce the owner. Zoom Referral handles the quiz, the two-way NDA, the automatic privacy scrubbing, and the buyer payout from start to finish.

"If you already know business owners with 30 or more workers—or founders and trustees of closed companies that had 50 or more workers—this is one of the easiest referral payouts in business today," said JC Burrows, Managing Director at Zoom Referral. "You make the introduction. We handle the NDA, the privacy scrubbing, and the AI buyer deal. When the deal closes, both you and the business owner get paid."
