A financial advisor referral agreement is between a company and an affiliate that agrees to bring clients to the advisor in return for payment. The payment is usually a fixed amount and occasionally the advisor will pay a combination of clients referred directly by the affiliate and leads, most commonly in the form of e-mail addresses.
