For referrers, resellers, firms, and developers

Four ways to partner. One platform behind them

Refer businesses you know, resell as an affiliate, deliver formation and compliance under your own brand, or integrate the API into your product. Whichever fits, the same fifty-state filing and compliance engine powers it, and your clients and your brand stay yours.

One engine, however you sell it

You bring the relationship. We bring the filing engine

Whether you are a founder sharing a link, an agency serving clients, or a platform embedding formation, the hard part is the same: forming entities in every state, keeping a registered agent in each, and tracking compliance forever. That is one engine, and building it is a company in itself.

The partner program lets you plug into that engine at whatever level fits, from a simple referral link to a full API integration, and keep your own brand and relationships on top. You sell it your way; we run the filings underneath.

From picking a model to going live

Five steps, in the right order. Select one to see the detail.

Step 1

Pick the model that fits

Refer, resell, white-label, or integrate. We help you choose based on your audience, your brand, and how hands-on you want to be, and you can combine or graduate models later.

The right level for you.

Step 2

Set up your account

We create your partner account, your workspace or your sandbox keys, and add your team with the right access. It is a short call, not a project.

Step 3

Apply your brand or integrate

White-label partners apply their branding to the client experience; technology partners connect the API. Referral and affiliate partners simply grab their link and assets.

Your brand, or your code. White-label.

Step 4

Bring in your clients

Share your link, onboard clients into your workspace, or send them through your product. They form and stay compliant on the engine while the relationship stays yours.

Step 5

Earn and grow

Rewards, commission, or margin flow to you, and reporting shows the value the partnership adds. Grow it across your audience, or move up to a deeper model as it makes sense.

BosAI for partners

An operator who knows the partner playbook

Ask in plain English. BosAI knows the models, the economics, and the engine.

BosAIPartner workspace

I run an accounting firm and want to offer formation as our own service. Which model?

That is white-label. Your clients see your firm from intake to the compliance calendar, you set your margin on published pricing, and we run the filings invisibly behind it. If you want to start lighter, referral is free and you can graduate later. See white-label.

Can I start with referral and switch to white-label later?

Yes, and many partners do exactly that. The engine is the same across models, so moving from a referral link to a fully branded service is an upgrade, not a migration. Your clients and history carry over.

We are a platform. How is integrating different from white-label?

The technology model gives you the API and SDKs to build formation right inside your product, so it is native to your app. White-label is a hosted experience under your brand with less engineering. Some partners use both. See the API.
From a partner

We grew into a deeper model without switching vendors

We joined as referral partners to test whether our clients wanted formation, and they clearly did. Moving up to white-label was a settings change, not a rebuild, and suddenly it was our own branded service line. The engine never changed underneath. We tried the idea for free and scaled it into real revenue on the same platform.

For the questions partners actually ask

Straight answers on models, pay, and brand

Which partner model is right for me?
Refer if you want to share with founders you know and earn a reward per business formed. Resell through the affiliate program if you drive volume with content and links. Choose managed or white-label if you are a firm that wants to deliver formation and compliance to clients under your own brand. Integrate through technology if you are a developer building it into a product.
Can I use more than one model?
Yes. Many partners start with referral and move to white-label as they build a service line, and technology partners often add reselling. The underlying platform is the same, so you can combine or graduate between models without switching vendors.
How do partners get paid?
Referral and affiliate partners earn rewards or commission paid through Stripe. Managed and white-label partners set their own margin on top of published pricing. Technology partners are billed for platform usage and price their own product. Every model has clear, published terms.
Do I keep my clients and my brand?
Yes. In every model your relationships stay yours, and with white-label the client sees only your brand. File.Business never markets to the clients you bring in. We operate the filing engine; you own the relationship. See white-label.
What does File.Business actually do behind each model?
It runs the formation, registered agent, annual report, and compliance filings, with a fifty-state agent network, a compliance calendar, and SOC 2 Type II controls. Whether you refer, resell, white-label, or integrate, that same engine is what delivers for your clients.
Is there a cost to join?
Referral and affiliate are free to join. Managed, white-label, and technology partnerships have terms that scale with how you use the platform, and pricing is transparent. We walk you through the fit on a short call.
How do I get started?
Pick the model that fits, or talk to our partnerships team if you are not sure. We set up your account, your workspace or keys, and your branding where it applies, and you can be live within days. Talk to us.
