Partner model shares success and risk.

When your client's India team sits on our registration, we carry the compliance liability. But we loop the partner into notices and issues so no client is surprised.

If compliance breaks or a client has a bad experience, that reflects on your referral. Partner reputation rides on quality execution.

Team gratuity Kept
PF and UAN Continuous

How partnership with Versatile works.

Eight questions from agencies, consultancies and accountants building referral partnerships, answered as we answer them on partner calls. The last names when partnership does not fit.

How does the Versatile partner program work?

You introduce clients to us. They hire or transfer employees onto our registration, we execute payroll and compliance, you own the relationship. Commission and revenue share terms are customized in a partner agreement based on your referral profile and volume.

What is the commission structure for partners?

Commissions are scoped on a call and documented in a partner agreement. There is no fixed rate. Volume, client size, contract length and your service tier all factor in. We want the structure to reward your book of business.

Do we lose the client relationship if we refer to Versatile?

No. You own the client relationship end to end. Versatile is your back-end execution vendor. We stay behind the scenes on payroll and compliance. Your client knows you as the trusted advisor.

How do we introduce clients to Versatile?

You send us a brief: company location, hire timeline, headcount plan and any special terms. We provide an MSA, pricing and a call if the client wants to meet the Versatile team. Once signed, we take it from there.

What if our client already has staff in India on another EOR?

We migrate them onto our registration. UAN, gratuity and tenure stay intact, payroll never gaps. The client sees a smoother transition, your referral value increases, and our margin stays the same.

Can we white-label or co-market the offering?

Yes, for strategic partners. We discuss branding, collateral and positioning on the partner call. Some partners run India EOR as a core service, others as a side offering. Both work.

How often do we connect with Versatile?

Monthly partner sync on client health, hiring pipeline, compliance status and any escalations. Quarterly business reviews for larger partnerships. Annual strategy planning for strategic partners. You are never in the dark.

When is Versatile partnership not the right fit?

If you need a high-margin pure play with no execution risk, we are a back-end vendor. If you want to hire and manage Indian payroll yourself without a third party, you need incorporation, not a partner deal. And if you serve mostly one or two countries and India is not a focus, a general EOR platform might suit you better than a dedicated India partnership.
