  4. Back Office review, required examination and qualification assessment

If the agency does not pay the $1,200 balance within 7 calendar days of approval, the application is voided and the approval canceled; the outstanding balance remains the agency's responsibility under the agency payment terms. If the application is denied or withdrawn for any reason, all fees paid are forfeited and the remaining balance is no longer owed. Payment never guarantees approval, income, territory or leads.

From application to launch

Five steps. A person signs off on every one.

  1. 1. Apply and verify

    Identity, documents, eligibility, and duplicate checks run automatically. Anything unclear goes to a person in Back Office.

  2. 2. Back Office decision

    A human approves every operator and provider. Payment never guarantees approval.

  3. 3. HOD Academy

    Back Office sends your Academy invitation within 7 calendar days of approval and confirms you finished before anything turns on.

  4. 4. ID, certificate, badge

    You get a unique HOD ID number, a digital certificate, and a QR badge that links to your public verification profile.

  5. 5. Physical office approval

    Choose a Hub or Dub coordinated Regus arrangement or secure your own territory-compliant office. Temporary virtual preparation is not an operational agency. Launch requires approved documents, completed buildout, a successful in-person inspection and final approval.

How earnings work

Paid on real runs. Tracked to the cent.

25% of eligible revenue

Paid only on successful, verified business report runs. Operators earn on their agency network. Providers earn on users they personally serve. One transaction never pays twice.

Friday payouts

Every run clears for 3 to 5 business days. Back Office finance reviews, approves, and sends each payout by hand every Friday.

No pay on free users

Free individual accounts never create commission. Refunds, disputes, and reversals come back out of future payouts.

25-mile territory

Your service area is measured from verified addresses. Users outside it are assigned to the nearest eligible agency.

Operators see their whole agency in one dashboard: team, delegated users, revenue, expenses, commissions, and license status. Providers get their own dashboard with only their users, applications, and earnings.

Questions before you apply

Fees are processed by Stripe and are non-refundable except where law requires otherwise. Payment never guarantees approval, income, territory, or leads. Questions: hello@hubordub.com.
