Partner Program

Authorised Nominating Partner | Business Magnates
By Application Only

Partnership Is Granted Strictly by Application

Authorised Nominating Partners are the only organisations permitted to nominate business leaders for the International Entrepreneur Registry. We accept chambers of commerce, business associations, incubators and advisory firms whose own credibility meets the same standard we apply to every entrepreneur.

How the Partnership Works

A Nomination Partnership. Three Parties. One Standard.

The programme works because every side is accountable to the same criteria. No one can shortcut the process, and that is exactly what makes a nomination worth receiving.

The Nominated Leader Gains

Credentials That Withstand Scrutiny

An International Entrepreneur ID, an official certificate, a permanent registry listing and a public profile. Every credential is independently verified, not endorsed by the nominating organisation, which is why it holds up when a client, investor or partner checks.

Your Organisation Gains

Nomination Authority With No Budget Line

The ability to nominate business leaders for international recognition, with no fee, no contract and no staff time beyond sharing a Partner Code. Your organisation also receives its own Partner ID, certificate and public directory listing.

The Registry Gains

Higher Quality Applications

Entrepreneurs nominated by a credible organisation arrive better prepared and are more likely to pass review than cold applicants. That is why we grant nomination authority to qualified partners, and why we decline those that do not meet our standard.

Who Qualifies

If Business Leaders Already Trust You, You May Qualify

Open to established organisations whose members, clients or community include business owners and founders. Not every applicant is approved.

Chambers of Commerce

Nominate the business leaders in your membership for the credentials they have earned.

Business Associations

Give the members you represent formal, verifiable proof of what they have built.

Business Setup Consultants

Your client just registered a company. This is the moment they want third party credibility.

Coworking Spaces

A building full of founders who all need the same thing you can now put forward for.

Incubators & Accelerators

Graduate founders with a recognised credential, not just a demo day photograph.

Advisory Firms & Accountants

You already serve business credibility. Now you can nominate clients for something verifiable.

What Approved Partners Receive

Recognition Works Both Ways

You are not simply sending names to us. Your organisation is recognised too, with its own credential and a public record anyone can check.

Your Partner ID

A unique Partner ID with a public record, so anyone, including the entrepreneurs you nominate, can confirm your authority independently.

Partner Certificate

An official certificate in PDF, ready to print, frame and display where your members and clients can see it.

The Partner Mark

Display the Authorised Nominating Partner mark on your website, newsletters and materials under clear usage terms.

Preferred Partner Rate

Your own Partner Code, granting the Preferred Partner Rate to every business leader you nominate. No expiry, no volume target, no renewal.

Directory Listing

Your organisation listed in the public partner directory, visible to business leaders looking for exactly the kind of organisation you are.

Partner Welcome Kit

Mark files, approved wording, usage terms and an eligibility checklist so you know which candidates will pass review before you nominate them.

The Partner Mark

Display Your Nomination Authority

Approved partners receive the official Authorised Nominating Partner mark for use on their website, email signatures, newsletters and printed materials, subject to the published mark usage terms.

Your Partner Code

One Code. Preferred Partner Rate, Permanently.

When a business leader you nominate enters your Partner Code during registration, the Preferred Partner Rate applies automatically and the application is credited to your organisation. Nothing to send us, nothing to reconcile.

Share it with those you nominate

The business leader registers at the Preferred Partner Rate directly. Costs your organisation nothing at all.

Handle it on their behalf

Manage the registration for a client at your own service rate, applying the Partner Code at checkout.

Sponsor a nomination

Cover the fee yourself and grant recognition to a member or programme graduate as a distinction.

No joining or annual fee No minimum volume Full refund if an applicant is not approved

One thing to know upfront. Business Magnates receives, and refunds, only the amount paid through the registration form. If you charge a client more than that, arranging any refund of the difference is between you and your client. If a nominated applicant does not pass verification, the amount paid to us is refunded in full.

What We Verify

We Verify Partners the Same Way We Verify Entrepreneurs

Nomination authority only means something if it is not granted to everyone. Four criteria, applied to every application. 1 in 4 are declined.

✔

A live, working website

Somewhere we can confirm who you are and what you do, under your own domain.

✔

Formal business registration

A registration number or certificate showing your organisation is legally established.

✔

A named, reachable contact

A real person with a real role and an email address at your own domain.

✔

Genuine work with business leaders

Your members, clients or community must include business owners and founders. We check.

What partnership is, and what it is not. Authorised Nominating Partners nominate business leaders for the registry. Partners take no part in verification, cannot approve or guarantee recognition for anyone, and are not accredited or certified by Business Magnates. Every application is reviewed by our team against published criteria, regardless of who nominated the applicant. That independence is exactly why the credential holds up under scrutiny.

Why Organisations Apply

Your Members Ask for Credentials. Now You Can Nominate Them.

Members look to their organisation for education, credentialing and recognition. But entrepreneurs are the exception: they can register a company in a day, yet there is no established way to prove the person behind it has been independently verified. Doctors have boards. Lawyers have bar admission. Founders have a LinkedIn profile.

Without Nomination Authority
  • Members complete your programme with nothing verifiable to show for it
  • No new credentialing benefit to announce this year
  • Every benefit you add costs the organisation money
  • No visible link to an international recognition body
  • Members build credibility alone, one LinkedIn post at a time
As an Authorised Nominating Partner
  • Nominate members for credentials anyone can independently verify
  • A benefit you can announce immediately, at no cost
  • Nothing to budget, nothing to invoice, nothing to renew
  • Your own Partner ID, certificate and public directory listing
  • Preferred Partner Rate for every business leader you nominate
FAQ

Questions Organisations Ask

There is no catch. Applying is free and holding partner status is free. There is no joining fee, no annual fee, no renewal and no minimum number of nominations required to keep your status. The Preferred Partner Rate benefits the leaders you nominate; your organisation is never invoiced at any point. We offer nomination authority because entrepreneurs nominated by a credible organisation are better prepared and more likely to pass our review.
No, and it is important to be clear about this with candidates. Verification is carried out solely by the Business Magnates review team against published criteria. Partners nominate business leaders but take no part in the review. Applications that do not meet the criteria are declined and refunded, regardless of who nominated them. That independence is precisely what makes the credential worth holding.
A business leader you nominate completes the standard registration form on our website and enters your Partner Code in the Partner Code field. The Preferred Partner Rate is applied automatically and the application is attributed to your organisation. You never need to send us applicant details, collect payments on our behalf, or handle anything manually.
Yes. Pass the Preferred Partner Rate directly to those you nominate, handle the registration at your own service rate, or sponsor the fee yourself. Note that we receive and refund only the amount paid through the form, so if you charge a client more than that, any refund of the difference is a matter between you and your client.
The amount paid to Business Magnates is refunded in full to the original payment method. Not everyone passes, and that is the point of a genuine review. When you are approved we send you an eligibility checklist so you can judge in advance which candidates are likely to meet the criteria.
Every approved partner receives a Partner ID and a public record, so anyone can confirm your status on our partner verification page. This protects genuine partners from organisations making claims they have not earned.
Verified entrepreneurs receive an International Entrepreneur ID, an official certificate in PDF and PNG, a permanent listing in the International Entrepreneur Registry, and a published public profile that remains searchable. Higher packages add a featured article and an official press release.
We reply to every application either way within five business days. If your organisation does not currently meet the four published criteria, you are welcome to apply again once that changes. 1 in 4 applications are declined, and that standard is what makes nomination authority worth holding.

The Business Leaders You Work With Deserve the Proof.
