Tell us how you could create value. We will determine the right relationship.
Aperture works with different types of buyers, advisers, promoters and distributors, but applicants do not award themselves a programme status. You tell us what you do and how you would like to work with Aperture. We verify the applicant, research the commercial fit and assign the appropriate approved role and permissions.

Enterprise options →How classification works
You state your interest
Describe your business, audience, client base and intended relationship.
Aperture verifies you
We research relevant public professional/business information and establish identity, organisation and role to the required level.
We assess commercial fit
Aperture determines the primary role, any secondary permissions and applicable programme controls.
Approved status is issued in writing
Only then may the applicant represent themselves as an approved Aperture partner under the assigned terms.
DISTRIBUTION + WORKFLOW
The right relationship depends on what you actually control.
If you control an audience, network, client portfolio or distribution route, a partner programme may fit. If you control recurring evidence-heavy work, the stronger route may be a workflow relationship rather than an affiliate model.
You control a network
Explore affiliate, referral, adviser, reseller, association, representative, strategic or platform routes.
You control recurring work
Explore batch, per-unit, External Evidence Desk, portfolio or monitoring structures.
You control both
Aperture can assess a hybrid relationship without asking you to choose every internal classification yourself.
Aperture controls delivery
Matter acceptance, evidence methodology, findings and quality control remain with Aperture.
