Two solutions, one goal
Choose the employment structure that fits your business needs
Contractor of Record (COR)
Who it's for: Businesses or professionals needing flexible, project-based support without an employment relationship or day-to-day governance.
Contractor of Record is ideal for independent professionals or businesses that need support without creating an employment relationship or exercising daily operational control.
Best suited for:
- •Independent Mortgage Brokers or individual Loan Officers
- •Independent Realtors and real estate teams
- •Independent Insurance Agents
- •Solo operators or small firms needing specialized support
COR is appropriate when work is:
- •Project-based or outcome-driven
- •Short-term or role-specific
- •Performed independently by the contractor
- •Executed without control over daily schedules, methods, or processes
In this model, the contractor determines how the work is completed. They maintain independence while delivering agreed-upon results.

Our Launch Infrastructure
Your team starts built, not from zero.
Commitment starts the process. Execution follows.
A Structured Investment Tied to Real Progress
The $1,200 one time setup fee ensures your hiring moves forward with clarity and accountability from day one.
Initiate the Search
Paid upon signing your Master Service Agreement and Job Requisition. This activates our Talent Acquisition team to immediately begin sourcing, screening, and presenting qualified candidates.
This ensures real work begins immediately — not just conversations.
Prepare for Day One Productivity
Paid upon your first invoice (option to split into two payments). This completes the full operational build so your VA can begin work without friction.
By the time your VA logs in, everything is already operational.
Why This Structure Works
This approach ensures alignment on both sides. You commit to the process — and we commit resources immediately to deliver results. No stalled searches. No wasted cycles. Just forward momentum.
Low Risk. Real Commitment.
We don't require full payment to begin — only enough to activate real work. Your initial investment ensures your role is prioritized, candidates are engaged, and your hiring process moves forward without delay.
Flexible Completion
The full $1,200 setup fee is split across your first three invoices. The initial invoice includes the first 1/3 of the setup fee, with the remaining balance divided across the second and third invoices once your team member is onboarded. This allows you to begin the setup process immediately while aligning the remaining investment with activation.
