Help your clients discover a better way to offer benefits.
Kota is the modern employee benefits platform and regulated broker for scaleups - one place for every benefit, support on every renewal, and employees who actually understand what they're covered for.
When your client's benefits admin is holding them back, this is where you send them. We pay a fair referral commission when they sign.
The employee benefits platform for scaleups
Kota is the benefits brokerage expertise and the software in one place. We source, quote and manage every benefit - health, life, pension, flexible perks, spend cards - then deliver them through an app employees actually understand.
Fully connected to the HRIS and payroll, so joiners, leavers and deductions just work.
The way teams offer benefits is broken. Kota rebuilds it entirely.
Your client's benefits live across a fragmented mess of broker emails, PDFs, spreadsheets, and provider portals - all chased and managed manually by your HR team.
re-entry
Kota replaces the broker, the portals, and the admin - integrating every benefit directly into the systems your team already runs on and offering it through an engaging employee app.
You already know when a client's benefits stack is broken.
Most of the companies that switch to Kota were working with an advisor when they realised their setup had stopped scaling. Broker emails. Spreadsheets. A mid-year acquisition. A new HR lead inheriting three providers. You see it first. Now there's a clean way to monetise what you were already going to recommend.
Two payouts per referral
No sales lift on you
You stay in the loop as much or as little as you want.

You disclose the commission to your client - as you would for any other referral.
Work with a supportive team
Referrals are registered by email with a real person - no portal, no ticket, no chasing.

Yes and no. While Kota acts as your broker for health, life, and pension employee benefits, switching to Kota as your broker is not a requirement to start using our platform for your client's benefits admin and employee enablement.
Yes, always. We ask every partner to tell their client, in plain language, that Kota pays a referral commission if they sign. That's not just professional good practice - it's what makes this a recommendation rather than a sales pitch. In our experience clients are entirely fine with it, because they can see you're recommending Kota on the merits, with the commission disclosed. We'll never ask you to hide it.
First-registered partner wins. Send us the client's details by email before any introduction and we lock the account to you for 90 days. If the client is already an active opportunity in Kota's CRM, we'll tell you within two working days so you're not competing for something you can't win.
The annualised recurring platform fee Kota actually invoices and collects during the customer's first twelve months live, net of VAT, discounts, credits, refunds, and any pass-through premiums paid to underwriters. One-off implementation or professional-services fees are excluded. The 10% share is payable on Year 1 only - expansions inside that window count, expansions after it don't. We show the maths on every quarterly statement.
No. This is a pure referral programme. Kota is the regulated broker - partners introduce prospects, but do not advise on regulated insurance products, quote, bind cover or handle customer money on Kota's behalf. That keeps the programme clean for both sides.
No. By filling in the form, you as a prospective referral partner agree to the partner terms outlined in our partner terms page.
