Your first 30 days

From application to first payout, step by step.

Day 1

Apply

Quick 7-step application. We check eligibility and qualifiers — no documents needed yet.

Day 2–3

Verification

If you qualify, you get portal access to complete ID, proof of address, selfie, and background-check consent.

Day 5–10

Company incorporated

Once verification clears, we register the company in your name in the chosen jurisdiction.

Day 10–20

Client matched & banking

You're introduced to a vetted client, sign the engagement letter, and we open bank and merchant accounts — we prep you for any verification calls.

Day 30

First payout

Your first monthly fee lands. Ongoing income begins from there.

Typical timeline. Actual dates vary by country, client, and how quickly banks verify.

How the business actually runs

A full-service agency runs it. We set it up and manage the money.

You own the company. We incorporate it, appoint the full-service operating agency that runs day-to-day operations, and put our in-house accountants and tax specialists on the company's finances. Every material decision — and every payout — comes back to you for approval.

Product & service proposals

The operating agency proposes what the company sells. You review and approve before anything goes live.

Marketing campaigns

The agency plans, launches, and runs paid and organic campaigns under the company's brand. Creative and budget go to you for sign-off.

Sales & fulfilment

The agency generates the orders and fulfils them through vetted suppliers and logistics partners.

Customer support

Tickets, refunds, and disputes are handled by the agency under the company's brand, following the policy you approved.

Banking, books & reconciliation

Our in-house accountants and tax specialists manage the company's finances — reconciling merchant and PSP payouts daily, keeping the books, filing taxes.

Every payout needs your approval

Nothing leaves the company's accounts — supplier bills, marketing spend, your own fee, dividends — without your written approval.

You own the company. You see everything. Nothing material happens without your sign-off.

Who it's for

If this describes you, keep reading.

Responsive

You reply to your account manager within a few business hours — not days.

Trustworthy

Clean personal record: no active bankruptcies, disqualifications, or serious convictions.

Presentable on paper

Valid government ID and proof of residential address in a country we operate in.

Understands the business

Able to explain what the company does in plain terms — the kind of explanation a friend or a curious child would follow.

What you actually do

Four things. That's the whole job.

01

Sign agreements

Pre-approved documents your account manager prepares — you review and sign.

02

Complete ID verifications

For banks, payment providers, and the corporate registry.

03

Accept bank verification calls

Short scheduled calls. We brief you beforehand so you know exactly what to expect.

04

Occasional check-ins

With your account manager. Stay familiar enough with the business to answer a basic question.

What we handle

You approve. We handle the rest.

A vetted full-service agency runs the business day to day under a scope you approve. Second Income sets up the company and puts our accountants and tax specialists on its finances. Your job is to review proposals, sign what needs signing, and approve payouts.

  • Accounting and bookkeeping
  • Corporate tax filings
  • Annual returns and registry updates
  • Bank communications and disputes
  • Legal counsel on retainer
  • Compliance and KYC checks
  • Mail scanning and forwarding
  • Contract drafts for you to sign

How we vet & monitor clients

The reason your name is safe on our clients.

We only work with clients who pass a serious vetting process — and we keep watching, every single day of the appointment. Here's the full picture, in three phases.

Phase 1

Before you're appointed

Vetting

Business model review

Every client submits full documentation on what they sell, how they price, and who they sell to. Anything that relies on ambiguity gets rejected.

Beneficial owner checks

Full KYC on every ultimate owner: government ID, proof of address, sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media screening. No one hides behind the structure.

Source of funds & runway

Clients must show where operating capital comes from and prove they can fund the company — taxes and your fee — for at least 12 months upfront.

Roughly 1 in 6 passes

The approval bar is deliberately narrow. A sustainable business only works if every party stays happy and compliant.

Phase 2

While you're appointed

Continuous monitoring

Proprietary compliance AI

Every product, landing page, and ad the client publishes is monitored continuously by our in-house compliance tool. When something drifts out of what was approved, we know in hours, not months.

Fraud & chargeback partners on every merchant account

Banking and payment processing is always set up with dedicated fraud-prevention and chargeback-management partners — keeping the acquiring relationship healthy and issues away from the director.

Daily payment reconciliation

Every bank and processor transaction is reconciled daily against the books. A chargeback spike, unusual counterparty, or mismatch triggers a review before it becomes a problem.

Quarterly re-review

Clients re-submit current financials, ownership, and business documentation every quarter. Continued appointment depends on staying in scope.

Phase 3

When something does come up

Issue response

Named case handler

You always have one person. They escalate internally so you don't have to chase anyone.

Legal, tax & accounting bench

In-house team plus retained specialist lawyers, tax advisors, and chartered accountants. Registry queries, bank compliance requests, and tax authority correspondence are handled by professionals, in writing, before you're asked to sign anything.

7+ years of pattern recognition

Most "new" issues look like ones we've resolved before. That experience is why our resolutions consistently beat industry SLAs.

Insurance backstop

Professional indemnity coverage sits behind the operational team, so even in the rare case a mistake reaches you, you're not the one carrying the risk.

Every safeguard here exists because we've seen what happens without it. Sustainable business only works when every party — client, owner, and us — stays protected.

Protection

The part other agencies leave out.

We take on real people, so we protect them properly. Here's what that looks like.

Written engagement letter

Every appointment starts with a plain-English contract in your name.

Dedicated case handler

One named person you can reach. Not a ticket system.

24-hour response

On any issue, you hear from us within one business day. In writing.

Clear exit path

You can end an appointment with notice. We resign you cleanly from the registry.

Why we're different

Most agencies onboard you and disappear.

We built this service after seeing how the rest of the industry treats business owners — as paperwork. We do the opposite.

Typical agency
  • • Onboards you, then goes quiet.
  • • No named contact. Support goes through a shared inbox.
  • • You find out about an issue when it becomes a problem.
  • • "Contact us" if you want to leave.
Second Income
  • One named case handler from day one.
  • 24-hour written response, in your portal.
  • Monthly status updates so nothing surprises you.
  • Clean exit process with notice, written into your contract.
