You will receive an email after you complete your purchase guiding you through the next steps of the process. 

You can join our Individual Plan as an independent contractor. While you are not required to join as an LLC or S-Corp, we do advise that you review the most advantageous and protective business entity options for yourself.

Once you have completed the purchase of your plan through our website, you will receive an email walking you through your next steps. 

Please note that you will need to upload a W-9 and a photo of yourself for facial verification purposes.

If you choose to upgrade from the Individual Plan to Growth, Team, or Enterprise, you will need to provide a business entity like an LLC or S-Corp.

These plans require you to have your own LLC, or another corporate business entity. You will need your LLC, EIN, Articles of Incorporation, Letter from the IRS regarding your EIN, and a photo of yourself for facial verification purposes.

Here are the steps you need to follow in order to become an active member of WorldVia Travel Network with one of the stated plans above:

1. Create your legal entity if you haven't already. You will be required to upload a copy of your Certificate of Incorporation/ Organization from your home state.
2. Obtain your EIN (Employer Identification Number) if you haven't already. You will be required to upload a copy of the EIN Letter of Issuance provided by the IRS.
3. Sign the Agency Owner Verification Authorization and Performance Guaranty via DocuSign.

Once the documents have been uploaded and the launchpad checklist has been successfully completed, we will begin a criminal background check and email you when your account is fully activated.
