Requirements

What it takes to become an operating company.

Two lists. One is enforced by the software and is simply true; the other is the commercial agreement.

Before your site can go live

This is the activation checklist the platform itself applies. A partner stays in draft until every line is satisfied, and a domain that is not yet activated is refused a certificate rather than served under a name that is not ready.

  • A root domain you own, with DNS pointed at our gateway
  • An operator organisation, whose owners administer your console
  • Your artwork — wordmark, icons, share card — or an explicit acknowledgement that it is not ready
  • The country you will operate in
  • A payment provider valid for that country

What we ask of you

These are the terms of the agreement rather than conditions the software checks.

  • A registered limited-liability company in your territory, with its certificate of incorporation and tax identification
  • A named managing director as the account owner
  • A business bank account in the territory
  • An account with a payment provider we support in that country
  • Your own trading name and logo — or commission us to produce them
  • five full-time agents, named when you apply and active within 60 days of going live
  • a one-off setup fee, quoted in your territory's currency, confirmed in writing before signature
  • a 12-month initial term

Commercial terms are indicative and confirmed in writing before signature.

How it goes

  1. You apply, with your company details and your territory
  2. We qualify the application and agree terms with you
  3. We create your company on the platform, in draft
  4. You point your domain at us and supply your artwork
  5. We activate you, and your sites answer under your own name

Applications are reviewed by a person. Creating an operating company is not self-service — it establishes a legal entity on the platform, so it is done by us, with you.
