What SwitchFair does

SwitchFair finances qualifying customer acquisition through approved partners.

SwitchFair is a Scottish Partnership. It owns and controls the switchfair.co.uk domain and manages the affiliate contracts, financing and commercial flow. Duke Leads–FZCO operates the initial customer journey and owns the associated journey technology, acquisition channels and customer systems. Supplier connectivity partners manage the supplier-facing operating and commercial interface.

Why the finance is needed

Affiliate marketers pay for customer acquisition now. Suppliers pay commissions later.

That timing gap limits how quickly affiliate marketers and their customers can grow. SwitchFair Capital uses investor capital to fund qualifying activity while waiting for supplier commissions to be received.

Established platform

Four years in the UK energy market.

SwitchFair has been developed and refined over four years and has already generated thousands of sales through live activity. It previously worked directly with UK suppliers and now uses specialist supplier connectivity partners for supplier access and relationship management.
