What is the PrometAI partner program?

The partner program spans six doors, and this page is the Expert Network: the door for consultants and experts. Partners here earn 20% recurring commission, earn certification badges, and receive client referrals after founders complete a plan. Joining costs nothing; the other doors are described on the partner program overview.

How much commission does PrometAI pay partners?

PrometAI pays a flat 20% recurring commission for 12 months at every Expert tier. The percentage never changes as you climb. Affiliates promoting to an online audience earn 20% recurring for 12 months.

Is the PrometAI partner program free to join?

Yes. Application, certification, and the vetting call all cost nothing. There are no monthly fees, minimum volumes, or exclusivity clauses. The commercial doors — SBA production plans, white-label, cohort licensing — are priced separately on their own pages; this door costs nothing.

What is the difference between the PrometAI partner program and the affiliate program?

The PrometAI affiliate program suits people with an online audience, paying 20% recurring on referred subscriptions. The partner program suits people with clients. Partners earn 20% recurring, but they also receive certification, badges, a directory listing, and founders routed to them after a plan.

How long is the PrometAI referral window?

Referral links credit you for 60 to 90 days after the first click. Additionally, your partner code credits referrals made offline, where no click exists. Partner-built workspaces have no window at all, because the plan is already built inside your account.

What promo materials do PrometAI partners receive?

Partners receive embeddable widgets, three certification badges, a redacted sample business plan, co-branded proposal templates, a client pitch deck, certification training, workshop slides with facilitator notes, email sequences, and display banners. The library unlocks on application rather than on approval.

Do I need to be a PrometAI customer to become a partner?

No. Every applicant receives a 14-day full-access account on submission, so you can evaluate the platform before promoting it. Many partners subscribe afterwards for client work. However, a paid subscription is never a condition of approval.

Can immigration attorneys use PrometAI for E-2 and EB-5 business plans?

Yes. PrometAI includes a submission-ready workflow with DCF valuation, job-creation modeling, and five-year forecasts. Attorneys and licensed consultants join through the Expert Partner track. Partner terms reduce delivery cost on every case, which matters where plans bill between $3,000 and $7,000.

What happens to my commission if a referred customer requests a refund?

A refund reverses the associated commission. The reversal shows up on your next monthly statement, not as a surprise later. Because payouts clear after 30 days, most reversals happen before you are paid. Your dashboard shows pending and confirmed balances separately.

What is the PrometAI Expert Network?

The PrometAI Expert Network is the brand name for the PrometAI partner program. The two terms mean the same thing. The name reflects what the program actually does: certify experts, then route founders to them once a plan is finished.

Do I need to be certified to join the PrometAI partner program?

Yes, and certification is free. It runs five modules in roughly 45 minutes, followed by a short vetting call. There is no unvetted tier. PartnerStack found that 43% of vetted, network-approved partners earn commissions, against 3% of non-network partners — vetting is what makes a program work.

Will PrometAI send me client leads?

Post-plan referral routing unlocks at Advanced Expert, once you have roughly 15 activated client accounts. Premier Experts receive the featured slot and priority matching. We describe the mechanism rather than promising a volume, because a number we cannot guarantee would not be worth much to you.

Business Plan Software for Consultants

Founders need 14 stages. We are 2 of them. You are the other 12.

PrometAI's partner program routes founders to consultants at the moment a plan is finished. The PrometAI Entrepreneur Journey covers 14 stages of building a business; the software produces two of them, the business plan and the pitch deck, and routes founders to certified experts for the other twelve, from idea validation to valuation defence.

Idea

Validation research, market sizing and feasibility, before money is spent.

Routed to certified experts: Generation, refinement, validation, idea finalization

PrometAI's Entrepreneur Journey covers 14 stages of building a business. The software produces two of them end to end — the business plan and the pitch deck — and gives founders tools and guidance across the other twelve. What it cannot give them is a person: someone who has done it before, pushes back on their assumptions, carries the work and answers for the result. That human component is what founders hire, and this program routes them to you at exactly the moment they need it.

This is not a capability gap we are waiting to close. However strong the AI gets, a tool does not own outcomes: it will not validate an idea against a real market, negotiate a lease, hire a first employee, or sit across from an investor and defend a valuation. Founders hire people for that — and the better our software gets at the technical work, the more clearly the human work stands out. Those people are our partners.

The loop runs both ways

Partners bring clients in at the idea stage and earn on each subscription. PrometAI sends founders back out once the plan is finished. Consequently, both directions feed the same relationship.

Why the referral matters more than the commission

One referred consulting client is worth 30x to 700x the full 12-month commission on the PrometAI subscription that came with it. The commission on one referred subscription runs $132 to $348 on monthly billing, or $59 to $157 on annual billing. One consulting engagement from the same founder is worth $10,000 to $96,000 to the same partner.

12-month commission: $132 – $348 ($59 – $157 on annual billing)

30x – 700x

One consulting client: $10,000 – $96,000 worth to that same partner

We would rather show you this arithmetic than bury it: one referred consulting client is worth roughly 30x to 700x the full 12-month commission on the subscription that came with it. That asymmetry is the design principle behind everything on this page.

Who the PrometAI partner program is for?

The PrometAI partner program is for consultants, fractional CFOs, business coaches, immigration attorneys, accountants, sales, HR and brand specialists, and accelerator mentors whose clients are founders. The test is simple: if founders hire you for work that business plan software supports but cannot own, the Expert Network fits your practice.

Every day founders finish plans on PrometAI and hit the stages the software supports but cannot own. That is the moment this program is built around. If your practice covers any of the twelve expert stages, there are founders on this platform who need exactly what you sell.

You are	Founders need you for
A marketing consultant or SEO specialist	Marketing & SEO: strategy, content, the launch that follows the plan
A fractional CFO or financial consultant	Expenses and Profit & Valuation: cost models, unit economics, valuation defence
A strategy consultant or business coach	Idea and Risks & Strategy: validation, positioning, scenario planning
An immigration attorney or licensed consultant	Submission-ready E-2, L-1 and EB-5 plans with job-creation modelling
A mentor at an accelerator or a founder-program advisor	One introduction can activate a whole cohort — and it counts as yours
An accountant or tax advisor	Business Registration and Expenses: entity choice, compliance, the books
A sales consultant	Sales: motion design, pipeline, the first paying customers
An HR or recruiting consultant	Human Resources: hiring plans and the first key hires
A brand or naming specialist	Name & Brand: identity, naming, visual language

Not on the list? The rows above are examples, not a gate. If founders hire you for work the software supports but cannot own, the program fits you — and the routing quiz will place you in about 45 seconds.

PrometAI partnership program advantages

PrometAI partners gain four advantages: client referrals from the founders who complete plans on PrometAI, at the moment they finish one, recurring commission rather than one-time payouts, partner rates that improve margin on their own client work, and a platform built for 180+ countries and 10 languages.

A fast-growing AI platform your audience already needs

Business plan demand is rarely optional. Founders must produce a plan for a bank, an investor, a visa office, or a graded class. The U.S. Small Business Administration treats the plan as groundwork for any funding conversation. So your clients arrive already looking. So far, activity on PrometAI has passed 170,000+ users and plans combined across 180+ countries.

Partner rates on the client work you already sell

This is where PrometAI differs most from a standard affiliate deal. Business plans commonly sell for $1,500 to $5,000 as a professional service. Immigration plans command more, because the stakes are higher. E-2 and L-1 plans typically run $3,000 to $5,000, while EB-5 plans reach $4,000 to $7,000. Partner terms cut what delivery costs you, so the margin stays on your side. In short, we change what it costs you to deliver, not only what you earn for referring.

Recurring revenue on every referral

Commission recurs for 12 months. It is not a one-time bounty. Referrals count for 60 to 90 days, payouts clear after 30 days, and the threshold sits at $50. Business planning is episodic rather than continuous, so the commission alone is not the reason to join — the client referrals are.

Global reach most planning tools can't match

Your clients are rarely all in one country. PrometAI supports 180+ countries, 10 languages, and currency selection per project. Additionally, the platform runs DCF valuation with stress testing. So you can pressure-test a client's assumptions before an investor does. One subscription therefore covers domestic startups, cross-border founders, and institutional cohorts alike.

How the program works

Joining PrometAI takes four steps: complete the routing quiz to identify your track, pass certification and vetting, build client plans inside PrometAI and share your referral link or partner code, then earn recurring commission and unlock post-plan client referrals as you climb the tiers.

01

Apply and choose your track

The routing quiz asks three questions and takes about 45 seconds. Applying is free. A person reviews every application within three business days. Notably, your asset library and 14-day full-access account unlock on submission, not on approval. Certification and a vetting call are part of joining rather than an upgrade you buy later.

02

Get your referral link and partner code

You receive three ways to get credited, because partners work in three different ways. The link tracks online referrals for 60 to 90 days. The partner code covers referrals made in a meeting or on a call, where no click ever happens. Third, partner-built workspaces let you build the client's plan inside PrometAI and earn when they subscribe. So payment follows real work, not just clicks.

03

Refer clients, students, or readers

Two expert routes, one tracking. Build the plan inside a paid engagement and keep the client, or refer the client and let them build with your code. Either way the same tracking credits you, and you can combine both freely.

04

Earn commission or apply partner rates

Payouts run monthly and clear after 30 days. Refunds reverse the associated commission, and we say so openly rather than burying it. Advanced and Premier Experts also receive routed post-plan referrals. That routing, not the percentage, is what changes as you climb.

Partner tiers: Certified, Advanced, and Premier Expert

PrometAI Expert Partners climb three tiers by proof of work, not sales quotas. Certified Expert requires free certification, a vetting call, and two client plans taken through PrometAI — built by you, or your client's plan built with you and reviewed by you. Day one as a Certified Expert already includes the badge and the public directory listing; routing and featured slots are earned above it. Advanced Expert unlocks at roughly 15 activated client accounts and opens the post-plan referral rotation. Premier Expert requires roughly 50 accounts, fast lead response, and strong client ratings.

	Certified Expert	Advanced Expert	Premier Expert
Threshold	Certification, vetting call, and 2 client plans taken through PrometAI (built by you, or reviewed with your client)	~15 activated paid client accounts	~50 activated accounts, replies within a set time, strong client ratings
Commission	20% · 12 months	20% · 12 months	20% · 12 months, plus awards
Visibility	Quality-verified badge and directory listing	Higher directory placement and post-plan referral rotation	Featured post-plan slot and priority matching
Co-marketing	Asset kit and newsletter	Featured content and a case study	Emails to our users about you, co-marketing funds, advisory seat

An activated paid client account is a client of yours with a paid PrometAI subscription — whether you built their plan, they built it with you, or their account arrived through a program you introduced. All of it counts the same toward the thresholds; promotion still passes quality review.

Two points worth stating plainly. Promotion happens after you reach a level and pass quality review — never automatically at signup. Also, no tier can be entered without certification. There is no unvetted entry level in this program.

The badges you can show for it

Certified Expert tells your clients that PrometAI has verified your training and reviewed your work.

Advanced Expert tells them you have a track record of delivered client accounts, not just a certificate.

Premier Expert tells them you are among the few, with the response times and client ratings to prove it.

RARE ON PURPOSE

Directory visibility is a real commercial asset, and the market prices it accordingly. Semrush charges agencies $90 a month simply to hold a listing in its Agency Partners directory. HubSpot, meanwhile, requires a completed Inbound Certification before any profile can be published to its Solutions Directory. PrometAI grants that visibility as a reward for certified work instead of selling it as a subscription.

Access by tier

Certified Expert — Badge and directory listing first

Advanced Expert — Post-plan referral rotation

Premier Expert — The featured slot

Post-plan referral rotation unlocks at Advanced Expert. The featured slot unlocks at Premier Expert. Certified Experts receive the badge and directory listing first, then earn routing as they build a record inside the platform. These referral benefits sit inside the partner program rather than the affiliate program.

Bring a program. Mentoring at an accelerator or teaching at a university? Introduce them — the deal runs through the business plan software for accelerators or business plan software for universities door, every account the cohort activates counts toward your status, and the introduction carries your commission, agreed individually.

How to apply to the PrometAI partner program

Apply to the PrometAI partner program by completing the routing quiz and the track application. Every partner completes free certification and a vetting call before activation. A team member reviews applications manually within three business days. There are no fees, minimum volumes, or exclusivity requirements.

What we look for is simple: existing client work, even at modest volume. The other doors — SBA firms, white-label, universities, accelerators — have their own bars on their own pages.

Certification runs five modules and takes roughly 45 minutes. It is free, and it is required. The vetting call is short and practical: who your clients are, what you deliver, and how you handle a referred lead. We also decline applications. Coupon and cashback sites do not fit, because they capture demand rather than create it. Additionally, we reject bulk-registration schemes and trademark bidding on sight.

43% Vetted, network-approved · 3% Non-network

Vetting is not gatekeeping. PartnerStack's research found that 43% of vetted, network-approved partners earn commissions, versus just 3% of non-network partners. Certification exists so the program is real for the people inside it.

How much do PrometAI partners earn?

PrometAI pays Expert Network partners a flat 20% recurring commission for 12 months, with a 60 to 90 day referral window and a $50 payout threshold, at every Expert tier. The rate never changes as you climb. Affiliates promoting to an online audience earn 20% recurring for 12 months through the separate affiliate program.

Track	Commission	Duration	Referral window	Payout	Clawback
Expert Partner — all three tiers	20% flat	12 months	60–90 days, plus partner code and workspaces	Monthly, clears after 30 days, $50 minimum	Refunds reverse
Affiliate (separate program)	20%	12 months	90 days	Monthly, $50 minimum	Refunds reverse

The rate is the same at every Expert tier. What grows as you climb is visibility, client referrals, and co-marketing — never the percentage.

We chose a flat rate deliberately. HubSpot, the benchmark program in this category, pays a flat 20% revenue share and differentiates its tiers by status and benefits rather than by percentage. Tiering the percentage instead invites renegotiation on every deal.

The commercial doors — SBA production plans, white-label, cohort licensing — are priced on their own pages; this table is the Expert Network money model.

Promo materials and partner resources

Every approved PrometAI partner receives a resource library: embeddable widgets and three certification badges, client-facing sales assets including a sample submission-ready plan, tutorials and free certification, presentation and workshop templates, email templates, and banner sets. The library unlocks the moment you apply.

Embeddable widgets and partner badges

The business plan cost calculator embeds directly on your own site. Your audience gets a useful tool, and you keep the traffic. Your three Expert Network badges link back to the partner directory. So the badge builds credibility for you and a referral path for us.

Client-facing sales assets

These assets help you sell your own service, not ours. You receive a redacted sample submission-ready plan, a co-branded proposal template, and a client pitch deck. A comparison sheet handles the question every prospect eventually asks. So you can answer it without building collateral yourself.

Tutorials and partner certification

The tutorials double as internal training if your team delivers plans, and the certification modules sit alongside them. Free certification is the model HubSpot Academy built its partner ecosystem on.

Presentations and workshop templates

Accelerators and universities receive a complete workshop-in-a-box. It contains slides, facilitator notes, a participant worksheet, and a follow-up sequence. So you can run a cohort session without building materials from scratch. Every template is editable, so you can brand it as your own.

Email templates and banners

You receive sequences written for two audiences: existing clients and cold subscribers. Display banners then come in standard IAB sizes. Social assets cover LinkedIn, X, and Instagram formats. Every file is editable rather than locked.

Every partner program asset lives at partner resources, and the library opens the moment you apply.

What is a partner program?

A partner program is a formal arrangement in which a company enables outside organizations — consultants, agencies, resellers, or platforms — to promote, sell, or deliver its product in exchange for commission, discounted rates, or strategic benefits. Most programs separate partners into tracks by how each one reaches customers.

Models differ mainly in who owns the customer relationship. Affiliates influence a purchase, whereas resellers own it outright. Technology partners sit between the two. PrometAI operates all four.

Model	How it works
Affiliate	You share a tracked link and earn commission on the subscriptions that follow.
Referral	You introduce a client directly, usually inside an existing relationship.
Reseller and white-label	You buy at wholesale rates, then sell under your own brand.
Technology	You build the product into your own platform and share revenue.

PrometAI vs other business plan software partner programs

Among business planning platforms, PrometAI pays 20% recurring for 12 months at every Expert tier and adds free certification, three partner badges, a filterable directory, and post-plan client referrals. LivePlan pays 20% recurring, with no published certification or tiers. Upmetrics pays a higher 30% recurring and offers white-label.

¹ LivePlan publishes conflicting terms across its affiliate pages. One answer states 20% recurring, another states $20 per verified sale, and both 30-day and 90-day windows appear on the same page. Figures shown are the primary stated terms.

² Upmetrics also publishes conflicting terms. Its affiliate page states a 90-day cookie duration, while its own FAQ describes a 30-day default. The longer published figure is shown.

Two rows above favor a competitor, and they stay in on purpose. Upmetrics pays a higher headline rate than we do, and we would rather you saw that here than found it elsewhere. Our answer is not the percentage. It is certification, a badge your clients recognize, a directory listing you earn, and founders routed to you after they finish a plan. A directory only works if something drives clients into it, and the moment a founder completes a plan is what drives ours.

Where a competitor has not disclosed a term, this table says Not published rather than No. We re-check every figure quarterly.

Program terms and how referrals are tracked

PrometAI tracks partner referrals three ways: a 60 to 90 day referral link window, a partner discount code for referrals made offline, and partner-built client workspaces where payment follows completed work. Commission applies to accounts not in PrometAI's records within the prior 90 days. Payouts clear after 30 days.

Refunded subscriptions reverse the commission. Trademark bidding and self-referral are both prohibited. Because we refer founders to you, badges and directory listings carry a standard you must maintain: respond to routed leads within the stated window, keep client ratings above the review threshold, and hold your certification current. Partners who fall below that standard lose the listing before they lose the badge, and we will tell you first. You can read the full partner program terms before you apply.
