Recommend it once. Earn on it for a year
Share your link, and every customer who signs up and pays earns you up to 25% commission, recurring for their first twelve months. A 60-day cookie window, email-match attribution, and monthly payouts, with no traffic minimum to join.
You already tell people where to form their business
Every audience that touches small business has the same moment: a reader, a client, or a listener needs to form an entity and stay compliant. You point them somewhere good, they sign up, and the value of that recommendation goes entirely to the platform.
The affiliate program pays you for the recommendation you were already making. Share a link, and when someone signs up and pays, you earn up to 25% commission, recurring for their first twelve months. No filing work, no fulfillment, no support tickets, just the referral you were doing anyway, now earning.

Share a link, and the rest is automatic
Five steps from joining to getting paid. Select one to see the detail.
Apply in minutes, approved on relevance
There is no traffic minimum. We approve partners based on how relevant your audience is, so a small but on-target following converts well. Once you are in, your dashboard and links are ready immediately.
A small, on-target audience is worth more here than a large, unrelated one.Promote it anywhere you reach people
Blog, newsletter, YouTube, podcast, social, and paid ads are all allowed. The only rule is no brand-bidding on our name in search ads. Use your link, UTMs, and creative however fits your audience.
Every channel is permitted, with pixel, UTM, and server-side tracking depending on your tier.Attribution that survives a cleared cookie
You are credited when someone clicks your link within a 60-day window and later signs up and pays. We also match on the email address at signup, so even a user who cleared their cookies is still attributed to you if they use the same email.
A 60-day cookie plus email-match means fewer lost referrals than a cookie alone.Commission recurs for a full year
Your commission is not a one-time bounty. For each customer you refer, you earn on their payments, including Compliance Subscription renewals, for their first twelve months. One good referral pays across the whole year.
Twelve months of recurring commission per customer, tracked live in your dashboard.Paid monthly, with clear numbers
Commissions earned in a month are paid the following month, Net-30, through Stripe Connect, including internationally. If a customer refunds, that payment is clawed back from your next month, and we surface refund risk in your dashboard so there are no surprises.

Recurring beats a one-time bounty
Most affiliate programs pay once and forget you. Here is what makes this one different.
| What you get | File.Business affiliate | Typical one-time affiliate | No program |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recurring commission, not one-time | 12 months | One payout | Not available |
| 60-day window plus email-match | Cookie only | Not available | |
| No traffic minimum to join | Often gated | Not available | |
| Server-to-server postbacks | Partner tier | Rare | Not available |
| Monthly payouts, international | Thresholds | Not available | |
| Refund transparency in the dashboard | Silent clawbacks | Not available |
Prefer to run it under your own brand? If you would rather present formation and compliance as your own product instead of referring, look at white-label, or combine both. The affiliate program is the lightest way to earn from an audience you already have.
One newsletter mention, a year of commission
My audience is small but it is all founders, so it converts. I mention File.Business when it is genuinely the right call, and because the commission recurs for a year, a handful of signups each month adds up to real recurring income, with nothing for me to fulfill.
