The partnership, in plain language
You are an independent contractor who offers financing through Acorn Finance. You are not an agent, employee, or subsidiary of Acorn Finance, and your marketing should never imply otherwise.

When describing your financing offering, the language you use should accurately represent the relationship — you are offering financing through Acorn Finance, not operating as Acorn Finance.

Logo and badge use
Acorn Finance provides approved badge assets for contractor use on websites and marketing materials. Always use the assets provided — never recreate the logo from memory, screenshots, or unauthorized files.
Before using the logo in custom materials
If you're designing something beyond the standard badge placement — a vehicle wrap, storefront, printed brochure — reach out to your account manager for approval before printing or publishing. We're happy to help and it avoids costly reprints.
Social media
You may tag @AcornFinance in posts about your financing offering, but don't imply that a tag or follow constitutes endorsement. Avoid framing posts as if they are official communications from Acorn Finance.
Questions or approvals
If you're unsure whether a specific use of our name or brand is permitted, contact your account manager before publishing. We'd rather review it in advance than ask you to pull materials after the fact.
