Affiliate Disclosure

The short version

Some links on LendWithAI are affiliate links. If you click one and end up buying the product, I may earn a commission. It never costs you more, and I only affiliate with tools I've actually used.

Where you'll see affiliate links

• In tool-review posts on the blog, where I recommend specific third-party tools.
• Occasionally in the Builder's Brief newsletter, where I share a tool I've been testing.
• In the Business OS (Tier 7) tech-stack module, where I recommend specific vendors.

Every affiliate link is marked inline as (affiliate) or with a clearly-labelled note at the start of the section. You never have to click them; non-affiliate links to the same tools are usually available alongside.

How I decide what to affiliate with

The rule is simple: I only become an affiliate for tools I already use or would recommend regardless of the affiliate relationship. The affiliate relationship does not change what I recommend — it just means I get a small cut when you end up buying. If I would decline the affiliate for a tool I don't recommend, I do (and I have).

Categories where we hold or expect affiliate relationships

LLM API providers, credit-bureau aggregators, loan-management software, document and bank-statement parsers, Notion template marketplaces, and course platforms. A specific link is only an affiliate link if it's marked with (affiliate) inline. If you ever want the current, named list, email [email protected] and we'll send it.

How commissions work

Affiliate commissions are paid by the merchant, not by you. When you click an affiliate link and complete a purchase (usually within a tracking window of 30–90 days), the merchant pays a small percentage of your purchase to LendWithAI. Your price is unchanged.

What I don't do

• No paid placements. No vendor pays to be recommended.
• No sponsored blog posts. Every post is independent.
• No "buy these 10 tools" listicles that are purely affiliate farms.
• No hidden affiliations. If there's a commercial relationship, it's disclosed inline.

Compliance

This disclosure is made in the spirit of the US FTC Endorsement Guides, the UK ASA's influencer rules, and equivalent consumer-protection rules in other jurisdictions. Even where I'm not legally required to disclose, I do.
