Ensure a steady stream of income.

It is a match

• You have an active network in SMEs, the service sector, property, recruitment, installation or similar industries
• You’re already selling something relationship-based — advice, implementation, training or consultancy
• You’re happy to share anecdotes about your work with your network
• You’re patient when it comes to building a recurring revenue stream — you won’t be making €5K a month by month 3
• You’re a good fit for us: honest, no hype, no aggressive sales tactics

No match

• You’re looking for a passive income stream that requires no work
• You expect to earn thousands of euros a month within three months
• Your network consists mainly of large enterprises (200+ employees)
• You currently sell products using aggressive closing tactics
• You want exclusivity for a region or sector

_{Being upfront saves everyone time. We are currently recruiting 10 founding partners, selected manually. Not everyone who applies will become a founding partner. A polite ‘no’ now costs everyone less than a ‘yes’ that we have to reverse later.We are now recruiting 10 founding partners, selected manually. Not everyone who registers becomes a founding partner.

Q1 · How many hours a week will this take?

For a single client, you’ll spend around 5–10 hours spread over two to three weeks on recruitment and initial implementation. After that, 30 minutes a month for client relationship management. No mandatory hours, no targets — just a minimum commitment to remain an active partner.

Q2 · When will I be paid?

Monthly, within 14 days of the client’s payment to SideIQ. You invoice us as a self-employed person or organisation. The partner portal shows in real time what is due.

Q3 · What if I want to stop?

Terminable monthly by either party. What you’ve built up continues — recurring revenue keeps coming in from clients you’ve brought in as long as they’re active.

Q4 · Can I continue to sell or recommend other tools?

Yes. We don’t require exclusivity. Many partners sell multiple platforms alongside each other. The only question is: does SideIQ fit your approach, and do you have a network that would be interested?

Q5 · How do I know my leads aren’t being ‘stolen’ by someone else?

You register a lead via the partner portal. From that moment, it is assigned to you for 60 days — no one else can claim it. Upon conversion, you are the credit holder for the entire lifetime of that customer.

Q6 · What if SideIQ is already approaching the same lead directly?

We operate under a fair-deal rule: if a lead is already active in our pipeline (contact within the last 30 days), you cannot claim it. However, we do try to collaborate where possible — if you have the relationship and we have the contact, we’ll do co-selling.

Q7 · What’s the difference from an affiliate programme?

Affiliate programmes often pay a one-off commission or capped fee. SideIQ pays 30% recurring lifetime — no cap, no reduction. What’s more, we’re relationship-focused: weekly check-ins in the first 90 days, not just a tracking link and ‘good luck with that’.

Q8 · Can I do this alongside my full-time job?

It’s possible, but the Independent path suits you best if you’re working alongside your main job. Be realistic: being a founding partner requires your attention in the first 90 days. If you don’t have the time right now, this might not be the right moment.

Q9 · How long will it take before I get my first client?

Realistically: on average 6–8 weeks from signing. The first month is spent on onboarding and initial meetings. Client signed in month 2, live in month 3, first recurring commission in months 3–4.

Q10 · What if my client upgrades from Solo to Team later on?

Your clients remain your clients. Upgrades to higher tiers, extra users, later additions — everything runs through your account. Even if the upgrade is activated by SideIQ at the client’s request. Lifetime is lifetime.
