Join Our Affiliate Referral Program

We’re thrilled to introduce our Affiliate Referral Program!

Whether you’re a business owner, individual, or organization, if you know someone who could benefit from MBE or WMBE Certification, you can refer them to us and earn rewards. With New York State’s MBE program now extended through July 1, 2028, this is a unique window of opportunity to help businesses position themselves for long-term access to government, city, and nonprofit contracting opportunities.

Our mission is to certify as many qualified businesses as possible while this expanded opportunity is in effect—helping them gain visibility, credibility, and a competitive edge in the marketplace.

While the program has been extended, our affiliate referral initiative will continue to be periodically reviewed, and participation terms may evolve over time. Early involvement ensures you’re positioned to take full advantage of the opportunity while helping others do the same.

Start today by exploring the information below, and let’s help businesses build a stronger future—together.

FAQs

  • The AMBE Affiliate Advantage Program allows you to earn referral-based income by connecting qualified business owners to Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) certification services. You focus on relationships and referrals—AMBE handles the certification process.

  • Affiliates identify and educate business owners about MBE certification, pre-qualify interest, and refer them to AMBE. Once the referral is made, AMBE takes over all consultations, paperwork, and certification work.

  • Affiliates do not complete applications, collect documentation, interact with government agencies, or guarantee certification outcomes. This program is strictly referral-based.

  • This program is ideal for business owners, consultants, accountants, advisors, and community connectors who already have trusted access to small business owners.

  • No. Training, education materials, and onboarding cohorts are included. You only need the ability to start conversations and make introductions.

  • Affiliates earn commissions when referred businesses enroll in AMBE’s MBE certification services. Commissions are paid per successful referral.

  • Earnings depend on how many businesses you refer. Many affiliates recover their onboarding cost with their first successful referral. There is no cap on the number of referrals you can make.

  • Affiliates are paid as 1099 partners. Commissions are issued on a regular payout cycle once the referred client’s payment clears and required documentation is confirmed.

  • If a business enrolls using a payment plan, commissions are paid proportionally as payments are received.

  • No. This is not a traditional sales role. Affiliates are not expected to “close” deals—only to identify opportunities and make referrals. AMBE handles all sales conversations and fulfillment.

  • Yes. At least one onboarding cohort session is required. These sessions ensure you understand the program, tools, and referral process.

  • There is no long-term contract required. Affiliates are expected to follow program guidelines and represent AMBE accurately and professionally.
