Great Lakes Feedstock Solutions operates on a Michigan finder-fee agreement: the collector pays us a flat fee — negotiated in writing and paid within 30 days after the collector’s first completed pickup — for screened south-central Michigan commercial kitchen accounts. The kitchen is never invoiced. There is no contract with GLFS, no consultation fee, and no upcharge.

The GLFS finder-fee model is built around two answers: a flat fee for collectors, and zero dollars from the kitchen. Both numbers, on one page, in plain English.
Bottom-line number
A flat, negotiated finder fee per signed account — typically $500+ for a Michigan commercial kitchen. The fee is documented in the finder-fee agreement before any work begins, and never changes after GLFS releases a protected lead.
What's included
A screened south-central Michigan lead, a volume-confirmed commercial kitchen, and a one-page handoff brief with the kitchen contact and pickup radius. The match, the negotiation framework, and the Michigan finder-fee agreement.
Settlement timing
Payment is due within 30 days after the collector's first completed pickup. No upfront charge. No deferral beyond the buyer's payment terms.
Bottom-line number
$0 — flat. There is no GLFS invoice ever mailed to the kitchen. Not at signup. Not at close. Not at any point after. The cost of the match is settled entirely from the buyer side per the negotiated finder-fee agreement.
No contract with GLFS
The kitchen's only agreement is with the collector it picks. The collector handles pickup cadence, barrel logistics, and payment; GLFS never appears as an obligor on the kitchen's paperwork. If you choose a collector, you review its pickup terms before signing.
Payment from the buyer
Actual rates depend on oil quality, volume, location, pickup frequency, and the collector's quote. National roll-up delays don't apply; the kitchen is paid on its own collection cadence by the collector it picks.
Recurring revenue from matched Michigan-domestic accounts, opt-in at agreement time. Three details collectors want up front — what, who, and how the money actually moves.
Ask about the commission detailsA small percentage of the Commercial Kitchen’s monthly UCO poundage for matched accounts, calculated on the spot-price poundage the buyer settles to the collector. Recurring revenue on every account GLFS sourced.
The collector — per account, signed in the same Michigan finder-fee agreement. One line in the agreement; covers every pickup month the account stays on a GLFS-sourced buyer.
Paid alongside the kitchen’s own check, from the buyer side. No extra paperwork from the collector — no separate invoice, no second settlement track, no off-the-books arrangement.
Collectors who skip the commission still keep the flat $500+ finder fee per signed account — full stop. Either model works; the choice is yours, per account, per kitchen.
