Subcontractor

Deliver under other partners' contracts or vendor sub programs.

Your model

How you make money.

You deliver, but you don't own the client contract. The vendor or another partner sources and signs the deal. You provide implementation hours under their SOW. Profit splits per engagement, payment timing tied to upstream collection. The commercial overhead is real, and no horizontal PSA handles it.

Where it breaks for you

The specific problems you'll recognize.

01

SOW splits that change per engagement.

Cost-plus markup. Fixed margin. Referral commission. Hybrid. Every SOW carries its own split rule. Reconciling what's owed to or from the upstream partner becomes a spreadsheet job that breaks within two quarters.

02

Payment timing nobody tracks.

You pay your contractors on a regular cadence. You get paid when the upstream partner collects from the client. The cascade can lag 60–90 days. Working capital planning becomes guesswork.

03

Active capacity is everyone's guess.

Sales pitches new work without knowing if you have the bandwidth. Open engagements times remaining hours is exactly the number that tells them.
