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.
