Your firm's athlete Center of Excellence — without building one
The biggest names in the space stood up dedicated athlete units to answer four questions: what will this athlete keep, across which states, under which structure, and — for a foreign athlete — is the deal even legal? Building that in-house takes a tax library, a multi-state allocator, an international module, and a team to keep all of it current as the law moves weekly. Licensing the engine gives your firm the same capability on day one — branded as yours, maintained by us. You look like the biggest agency in the room without becoming a software company or a tax firm.
Who licenses it
Stand up an athlete practice — or scale the one you're running by hand — with a live, branded illustration that wins the recruit and a plan that stays current as the law moves. Capture the relationship early: start while the athlete is still in college, before anyone else is in the room.
Deliver multi-state, entity, and revenue-share planning at software speed instead of partner hours, with a documented, defensible position for every athlete you sign. Audit-ready output your firm can put its name on.
Show every recruit their real after-tax value and confidently represent the international athletes most agents pass on — a recruiting weapon and a retention tool, under your agency's brand.
One engine across a whole book: roster-wide triage, affected-athlete rule mapping, and branded deliverables — built for a book, not a single return.
What you're licensing
Every figure computed against a maintained library of current federal and state law — reproducible, sourced, audit-ready. The math you'd otherwise rebuild per athlete, done in minutes and safe to brand as your own.
The hardest and most defensible piece: F-1/J-1 work-authorization go/no-go, ~60-country treaty table, ITIN/W-8BEN/Form 8843/1042-S, per-activity sourcing. The single clearest reason a firm switches — and a client segment nobody else serves.
Duty-day allocation across every state an athlete earns in — road games, camps, appearances — with the S-Corp, QBI, PTET, and quarterly picture that follows.
When an approved rule, rate, or treaty change lands, every athlete's plan recomputes and the system flags exactly who's affected. Your firm's posture is never a stale spreadsheet.
Illustrations, offer comparisons, and compliance packets leave the building under your firm's identity — a professional leave-behind built to hand to the athlete's CPA or attorney.
Every shared illustration carries your brand and a "run your own" path back to you — the acquisition infrastructure a growing athlete practice depends on.
How licensing works
The international practice nobody else can offer — offered as yours.
Foreign athletes are a large, growing, and almost entirely unserved segment. The engine answers the question that precedes tax — is this NIL activity even authorized under the athlete's visa? — then handles treaties, nonresident withholding, and the full foreign filing stack. It's the single hardest capability to replicate, and the clearest reason an athlete picks your firm over the one that turned them away.
Licensing models
Pricing scales with the size of your practice and how deeply the engine is embedded — from a co-branded pilot on a single book to a fully white-labeled deployment across your firm. Every engagement includes hands-on onboarding and a dedicated success manager. Tell us your firm below and we'll scope it with you, usually within one business day.
Licensing & white-label questions
Do we resell SidelineWealth, or does it disappear behind our brand?
Both models exist. White-label puts your firm's logo and identity on every illustration, packet, and the cockpit — your athletes never see our name. Co-brand keeps a light "powered by" credit. You choose per engagement.
We already have CPAs and advisors. Why license a tool?
Because they're delivering multi-state jock tax, entity structuring, reasonable-comp, and — the hard part — international/visa analysis by hand, per athlete. The engine does in minutes what a partner does in hours, computed against current law and documented for defensibility. You keep the relationship and the fee; you just stop rebuilding the math.
What makes this defensible enough for our firm to put its name on?
Every figure is computed by a deterministic engine from a maintained library of current federal and state law — not estimated or generated by a chatbot — so the output is reproducible, sourced, and audit-ready. That's the standard a licensed professional can stand behind, which is exactly why it's safe to brand as your own.
Can we serve international athletes we currently turn away?
Yes — that's the piece nobody else has. F-1/J-1 work-authorization go/no-go checks, treaties across ~60 countries, ITIN/W-8BEN/1042-S, and per-activity sourcing. Signing the foreign athletes your competitors pass on is often the clearest reason a firm licenses the engine.
How do we start?
Tell us your firm and roughly how many athletes you serve. We scope a pilot — usually a single team or book — stand up your branded workspace, and expand from there. Enterprise licensing includes a dedicated success manager; self-serve multi-seat, SSO, and API access are on the roadmap.
