Accessible.org offers two partnership models that enable individuals and agencies to make money from the rapidly growing digital accessibility services industry: referrals and white labeling.
Let’s look at the advantages to each and go over which option is the best for you.

Referral Partnerships: Simple and Low-Risk
Our referral program offers a straightforward way to earn commissions while helping connect clients with professional accessibility services. As a referral partner, you’ll receive 10% commission on initial sales, which typically range from $3,000 to $15,000.
For example, if you refer a client who purchases $5,000 worth of services, you’ll earn a $500 commission.
A referral setup works best for individuals who don’t want to deal with the business side of accessibility.
The best part about our referral program is it’s simple. You can start immediately with no setup required, and there’s virtually no responsibility after you send the client our way. You won’t need to manage client relationships directly, and you can leverage Accessible.org’s established brand and reputation to build trust with potential clients.
Just tell us who you refer and you’ll get 10% commission on every client who results in a sale (and the majority of clients we talk to end up making a purchase).
Key Advantages of Our Referral Program:
- Start earning immediately with zero upfront investment or training required
- Maintain your current business operations while adding a new revenue stream
- Leverage our established reputation to build credibility with your network
- Focus on connections and introductions while we handle all service delivery
- Earn commissions without managing client relationships or deliverables
White Label Partnerships: Building Your Own Brand
White labeling represents a more comprehensive business opportunity. Under this model, you purchase services from us and resell them under your own brand, setting your own pricing for clients. This approach requires much more involvement but offers real potential for business growth and development.
As a white label partner, you’ll resell our accessibility services (e.g., audits, VPATs/ACRs, PDF remediation etc.) while maintaining complete control over client relationships. You can integrate accessibility services into your existing offerings and develop a unique market position.
White labeling works especially well for existing digital agencies:
- web design agencies
- web development agencies
- social media agencies
- SEO agencies
Here you already have a business infrastructure so all you need to do is incorporate and position accessibility services. And you don’t have to pretend that you’ve developed website accessibility expertise overnight, just let clients know that you’re working with a trusted partner to provide services.
We must emphasize that white labeling does come with all client responsibilities. You’ll become our client and manage your client relationships directly, as we’ll work exclusively with you rather than your end clients.
Also, some documentation will still reference Accessible.org as we must be the named issuer.
Finding Your Fit in the Partnership Landscape
Different business scenarios call for different partnership approaches. For established agencies looking to expand their service offerings, white labeling can be an excellent fit. For individuals looking for supplemental income, referrals are usually the best path.
Perfect Partnership Scenarios:
- Established agencies seeking to expand their digital service offerings without building in-house expertise
- Independent consultants who regularly encounter accessibility needs beyond their current capacity
- Professional networks and associations looking to provide member benefits while generating additional revenue
- Accessibility consultants and program managers who can recommend Accessible.org as a trusted service provider to their clients and organizations
When referring, individuals should always let know the parties involved that they are a referral partner for Accessible.org. This can be a simple recommendation for consideration for our services.
Our Commitment to Ethical Marketing
At Accessible.org, we believe in building partnerships based on trust and ethical practices. We encourage organic, authentic relationship-building rather than illegal or unethical marketing tactics. This means we expressly forbid promotion of our services through spam emails, unsolicited promotional activities, spam on social media, etc.
Getting Started with Your Partnership
Millions of government and public entities, small businesses, mid-size companies, and corporations need help with digital accessibility. You can make money while helping these organizations with accessibility by referring them to Accessible.org, a reputable service provider who provides excellent quality services.
The path to partnership depends on your business goals and current capabilities. We require all those interested in white labeling to refer one client first. This demonstrates your ability to refer genuine clients before we establish a formal white label partnership.
