Who this is for
Three ways to partner with us
- 01
Real estate brokers
Bring us the tenants who are too small for a traditional lease, or who need a Chicago address between spaces. You earn on the lease, they get a home, and the relationship stays yours.
- 02
Content creators
Podcasters, YouTubers and founders building an audience of small business owners. Share the virtual office, mailbox and podcast room with a tracked referral link.
- 03
Publications and newsletters
Chicago business media, startup newsletters and local directories. Recommend a real address your readers can actually use, and earn on every member who signs.
Commissions
10%
of the 12-month lease value on office space, paid after the member's first full month.
How the money works
One number, no tiers to decode. Office leases pay 10% of the 12-month lease value. Resource partners pay through our affiliate program. Everything is confirmed in writing before your client ever walks in.
