Program Acceptance Criteria

To ensure brand alignment and shared values, we approve affiliates who meet the following guidelines:

• Audience Fit: Your content and followers align with entrepreneurship, business formation, investing, real estate, or financial education.
• Healthy Engagement: You maintain consistent engagement across your primary platform. We look at quality conversations, not just follower counts.
• Professional & Trust-Centered Messaging: You communicate in a way that is helpful, accurate, and value-driven, not sensational, misleading, or overly promotional.
• Responsible Communication: You agree to use approved messaging, follow disclosure requirements, and avoid making legal or financial guarantees.

We welcome entrepreneurs, creators, advisors, educators, and community leaders of all audience sizes, quality and connection matter more than volume.

If we’re not aligned yet, you’re welcome to refine and reapply.

How do I apply?

If you have not already done so, you need to complete an application to the affiliate program

After receiving your application, we will review your brand, audiences, engagement and various other metrics to determine if you are currently a good fit for our program. We reserve the right to reject any application, but we encourage you to contact us if you feel we have made an incorrect decision. Including all of the websites and strategies that you will use as a member of the affiliate program will help us make a better decision.

We're usually able to review applicaitons within 10 business days. If we do not notify you that you are accepted to participate in the affiliate program within 30 days from your application, your application is considered to be in queue. We have a very small team and will do our best to respond within a reasonable time period.

How do I earn?

• We currently only offer commissions on new entity formations.
• For purchase commissions, you will receive commission for the first qualified quote made by a new customer (first entity).
• The customer needs to be an active customer for the locking period in the affiliate platform.
• A customer purchase must be: 
  
  • a new potential customer of ours, and
  • not at the time of submission one of our pre-existing customers or involved in our active sales process.
• Affiliate links may rely on cookies to track referrals. Therefore if cookies get cleared, we may not be able to track these events and you will not be guaranteed a commission.
• Cookie windows and commission rates are stated in the Contract Terms.
• Only affiliate links can be used to track referrals. Incorrect sue of affiliate links will cause inability to track referrals.
• Fraudulent or stolen attribution is a non-payable event. If we suspect fraud (for example, if we see that signups are all from the same city or IP address) we may require you to prove that the referrals are valid.

There are a number of other limitations that may result in commission not being paid. We encourage you to read our Affiliate Program Terms located in our affiliate platform.

Commission

What is the affiliate commission?

Affiliate commission varies by the program in which you are enrolled. For public, non-negotiated terms, affiliates will earn $50 per new customer with a bonus $50 added on each additional customer after the sixth customer converted in a given month.

• 1 - 5 Customers, payout is $50 for each new customer.
• 6+ Customers, payout is $100 for each new customer.

Please view the Terms in our Affiliate Tool for additional details.

How do I get paid? 

All payments are cleared through Impact's affiliate portal. You must have connected valid payment accounts to Impact in order to receive commissions.

If you didn't receive a payment that you believe you should have, please contact Corporate Direct through our affiliate tool (Impact).

What purchases do I earn commissions for?

You will receive commissions for each unique new customer who purchased one of our formation products (RealShield, DigitalGuard, FormForward). We consider a lead converted to a customer when they have paid their quote.
