Quick answer: A sub-broker program allows independent professionals to leverage a parent financing group’s infrastructure. As a sub-broker, you focus on clients while Mehmi handles underwriting, compliance, documentation, and funding .
TL;DR: Why Mehmi’s Sub-Broker Program Works
Canada’s equipment financing market is worth billions, spanning transportation, construction, manufacturing, and healthcare. Businesses need fast access to capital, but banks often delay or decline applications. Sub-brokers bridge this gap, connecting clients to financing solutions. Mehmi Financial Group’s sub-broker program gives you:
- Approval and funding timelines vary by lender, application completeness, and required conditions.
- 30+ lender partners plus Mehmi’s in-house financing.
- Strong commissions on every funded deal.
- White-label flexibility to build your brand.
- Nationwide reach across every major province.
Whether you’re a broker, consultant, dealer, or finance professional, this program lets you build recurring income without managing underwriting or compliance.
Competition Bureau Canada explains the rule against misleading marketing under the Competition Act.
“it is against the law to advertise or market something in a way that is false or misleading”
For a financing program, describe the application process, provider’s credit decision, costs and funding conditions clearly. Do not turn conditional availability into an approval promise.
Why Canada Needs More Equipment Finance Sub-Brokers
The Canadian economy is powered by small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs). According to Statistics Canada, over 97% of all Canadian businesses are SMEs , and most require equipment financing to operate.
From forklifts and CNC machines to trucks and medical lasers, financing demand is rising.
But here’s the challenge:
- Banks reject many SMEs. Around 20–25% of SMEs report difficulty obtaining financing through banks.
- Approval timelines are long. Traditional financing can take 4–8 weeks, too slow for businesses with urgent contracts.
- Capital intensity is rising. Equipment is more expensive — advanced CNC systems, medical imaging, and logistics automation often cost $100,000–$1M+.
This is where sub-brokers thrive: they provide local businesses with alternative financing pathways, using groups like Mehmi to secure fast approvals and flexible solutions.
What Is an Equipment Finance Sub-Broker Program?
Think of it as joining a national financing network without building the backend yourself.
Your role: Source deals, advise clients, and guide applications.
Mehmi’s role: Provide products, lender access, approvals, and funding.
This partnership creates a win-win: businesses get financing, you earn commissions, and Mehmi manages the heavy lifting.

Case Study: Sub-Broker Success
The Background: A new sub-broker in Calgary joined Mehmi’s program in 2024. With a background in logistics consulting, he already had relationships with trucking and construction companies.
The Challenge: His clients needed trucks and heavy machinery but had been rejected by banks due to thin credit files or CRA arrears.
The Solution: As a Mehmi sub-broker, he connected three construction firms and two trucking companies to Mehmi’s financing products. Mehmi handled underwriting, compliance, and payouts.
The Outcome:
- Funded two truck leases and one construction equipment loan in his first month.
- Earned over $12,000 in commissions in just 30 days.
- Scaled to a $25,000+ quarterly commission stream within three months.
This shows how quickly a sub-broker can generate income with the right support system.
