The process
Apply. Verify. Sign. Get paid.
The whole path from first click to first payment usually takes under two weeks. Here's what happens, in order.
Step 1 — Apply
5 minutesAnswer a few questions about your country, availability, and background. Upload ID, proof of address, and a selfie. US applicants also upload a recent credit report.
Step 2 — Verify
24 hoursOur team reviews your initial eligibility and runs standard background checks. You'll hear back within 24 hours — either an approval, a request for more info, or a clear decline with the reason.
Step 3 — Sign your engagement letter
Same dayOnce approved, you'll receive a plain-English engagement letter naming your case handler, your monthly fee, your responsibilities, and your exit clause. You sign electronically.
Step 4 — Get paid monthly
OngoingYou're now on payroll. Payments arrive on the same day each month. Most owners start between $1,000–$2,000/month with a single appointment and scale up as they take on more.
What can I actually earn?
Most owners start between $1,000–$2,000/month with a single appointment. Earnings scale as you take on more companies. Owners with multiple appointments or specialist roles — regulated industries, group structures — reach $10,000+/month. Your exact fee for each appointment is written into the engagement letter before you sign it.
