An Opportunity Announcement is a document that contains all the information you need to determine if your business, or your agents, would like to provide customer support services for a particular client program. Details about the client, call types, additional equipment requirements, service revenue, certification course schedules, and certification requirements are in this document. It is critical that you read Opportunity Announcements thoroughly before expressing interest in a client program. Opportunity Announcements can only be accessed after the registration process is complete.
Service Partners incur a Monthly Service Fee immediately following their agent’s successful completion of their client certification course. This fee is applied for each agent and is not negotiable. The fee is not applied to registrants who are in the registration process or on agents who are not yet servicing.
The Arise service fee of $39.50 per month is charged for the infrastructure that Arise provides, including the Arise 24-Hour Client Technical Support Help Desk and StarMatic® scheduling system.
We do appreciate your willingness to assist this registrant. Unfortunately, you cannot contact Arise on behalf of a registrant, as they are not part of your business until they have completed the registration process and actually joined your business. Please advise the registrant to contact us directly as we may need to verify or discuss specific information that we cannot share or discuss with anyone other than them. If their profile is inactive or they do not have access to online chat support, they can email us at [email protected]. Currently, our response time for emails may be up to 5 business days.

Our business model is that of a business-to-business relationship. This means that we are not offering a job rather a business opportunity. At some point in the registration process, you will therefore be required to either create your own business (incorporated entity) or join an existing one to service one of our clients.
In order to register your business to use the Arise® Platform, your business MUST be a for-profit corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State or jurisdiction of its incorporation and the FEIN/TIN/EIN number issued to the business. The Business Name and TIN must match the IRS records. If the Name and FEIN/TIN/EIN entered do not match what is on file with the IRS, you will not be able to register your business.
If your business has just obtained a FEIN/TIN/EIN, it is our experience that it can take up to 14 business days for the IRS to update the database utilized for corporate validation purposes. Arise has no control over the timing or frequency of any IRS database update and we cannot usurp the validation process. We suggest that you wait 2-3 days and re-run the validation. If you are still getting this error after the 14th business day, please open a ticket and attach the following (1) Articles of Incorporation, (2) a Certificate of Good Standing if the business is more than one year old and (3) IRS Form Letter CP 575 issued to the business.
If you receive an error that the FEIN/TIN/EIN was not issued. Check your corporate records to confirm that the FEIN/TIN/EIN was issued to the BUSINESS NAME not to an individual officer of the business. If you are still receiving an error message, please contact a Registration Specialist for further assistance. It will be helpful for you to have the following ready (1) Articles of Incorporation, (2) a Certificate of Good Standing if the business more than one-year-old and (3) IRS Form Letter CP 575 issued to the Business.
Everyone who wants to use the Arise® Platform, regardless of whether they start their own business, or work for another business, needs to complete the entire registration process.
Please note: Arise cannot release information about any individual agent until they are finished with the registration process. The registration process must also be completed by the person referenced in the profile.
Before agreeing to work for a particular business, be clear on the details, requirements, and expectations of the business owner. Arise does not endorse or recommend any one business using its platform. It is your responsibility to decide whether your association with a particular business is right for you. These businesses are in no way affiliated with or controlled by Arise and Arise does not assume any legal liability or responsibility for the acts or omissions of such businesses. Arise encourages you to do your due diligence and background research before you begin work for any business.
If you were still completing the registration process and there has been activity on your profile within the last three months, you can continue from where you left off within the Arise® Platform, otherwise you will have to start the process from the beginning.
If you had successfully completed the registration process and were at the phase of “Select a Client Opportunity” and there has been activity on your profile within the last 30 days, you will re-start from where you left off.
If you receive a message about an inactive profile, please send a request via e-mail to [email protected]. Please include your User ID (Agent ID), full name, e-mail address, mailing address and phone number in your e-mail communication. DO NOT create another profile as doing so may permanently disqualify you from the Arise® Platform.
Creating duplicate profiles is strictly forbidden. If you created a profile before but cannot remember the details, please send an e-mail to [email protected] and describe the details of your issue. Please include your User ID (Agent ID), full name, e-mail address, mailing address and phone number in your e-mail communication.
If you are getting the error message “SSN Already Exists in System” please come to Online Help or email us for further assistance. Do not create any additional profiles. For Online Help, please have handy your previously used mailing address, email address, date of birth and SSN as these items may be required from you for validation.

You may log into the Portal to start your own business at any time. As long as your agent profile has not been inactive for more than 90 days while in the registration process, you will not have to restart it.
Registration is a multi-step process that starts with completing a simple 5-minute profile. The business registration process is slightly different than registering as an agent working for a business.
