Commission as a Referral Agent in CA

I work for a contractors association in CA and we are looking for a partnership to receive referral fees in order to produce revenue.

I ran into the issue when speaking with partners that we needed to be licensed brokers in order receive a referral fee.

Is there a way an existing licensed agent could register our business with the license number? Would they simply need to register the business and obtain the proper insurance for the business?

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
