It's quick and easy to get set up as a ZipVentures referral partner, and the process from referral to payment is straightforward.
Step 1: Apply to Join - Complete the short partner application. There is no cost to join, no approval process to wait on, and no commitment required.
Step 2: Refer a Client - When someone in your network needs a business plan, send them our way. You can refer clients by sharing your unique referral link, by connecting them directly via email, or by providing them with your partner name to mention when they reach out.
Step 3: Client Completes a Paid Engagement - When the client you referred completes a paid project with ZipVentures, your referral is confirmed and your fee is queued for payment.
Step 4: Get Paid - You receive a flat $100 referral fee, paid via PayPal or Venmo. Referral fees are issued as 1099 income. There is no cap on the number of referrals you can make or the total amount you can earn.
Note: Referral partners who earn more than $2,000 are issued a 1099-NEC income tax form.
ZipVentures writes every business plan from scratch - no templates, no AI-generated filler, no recycled content. Every plan is custom-built for the client's specific business, financing scenario, and audience, whether that is an SBA underwriter, a venture capital firm, a USCIS immigration officer, or a franchise development team.
That means the people you send our way get a professional, credible, purpose-built document that genuinely helps them move forward - and that reflects well on you for making the introduction.
