For the company’s principals
Register your management company.
Four steps, every community you hold free with no limit, no card — what you get back is an operator’s account, not a listing.
Sign in and this form creates your company account immediately — new here, you start your application first, the same one every new VendoRFP account goes through, and the company appears the moment you finish the form with an account. VendoRFP still verifies every company by hand.
The company
Four answers, two of them taps. The domain and the website are optional.

How big is the company
Communities you run today
Two-letter codes. This is what you advertise. VendoRFP sets the states you receive community leads in, at verification. You cannot widen that from here.
Optional, and worth doing — VendoRFP approves one domain per company. Publishing the TXT record we give you switches on auto-join for your colleagues.
Optional. Shown on your listing.
VendoRFP reaches you on the address you sign in with.
The control suite
What a company account gives you over your managers.
| Permissions per manager | 11 permission switches, on or off per manager. Two of them decide who may see money and who may award work. Awarding work and approving a work order are enforced on the server, so a switch you turn off holds even against somebody going straight at the URL, and every switch says right beside it what it covers. |
|---|---|
| A record of every control change | Permissions toggled, seats invited, suspended or removed, communities added, domains claimed. All of it goes to a log that only ever gets added to. Day-to-day work inside a community is stamped on its own records instead, so this log holds what was decided. |
| Seats and logins | Invite, edit, suspend and remove managers. Suspending a seat revokes every permission on it, and has to carry a reason the manager can read. |
| Your mail domain joins your managers | Claim your company’s mail domain and prove it with one DNS record. After that, anyone who signs up at that address joins your roster as a manager on their own, the moment they confirm the address. The proof is yours to give and yours to revoke, and team and portfolio administration stays yours to grant. |
A new manager seat starts with the day job switched on and money switched off. Billing and awarding work are switches you grant on purpose.
A manager seat is 11 switches. These are all of them.
A DNS record proves the domain is yours, and confirming the address proves the person can read mail there. The grant that follows carries no team or portfolio administration — the switches below show exactly what it does carry.
