Frequently asked questions
When is the commission paid?
Pro-rata on every invoice collected from the client, for as long as the introduced engagement stays active — not just on the first payment.
Do I need a specific status to become a partner?
You need a status that allows you to invoice (sole proprietorship, company, umbrella contract) to receive the commission.
Is a referral agreement signed?
Yes, a simple agreement formalizes the commission rate, duration, and payment terms before any introduction happens.
Can referral and mission reinforcement be combined?
Yes: when an engagement is introduced and the partner also works on it, both are combined under terms defined by contract.
