How Global Solo Makes Money

Global Solo earns money in two ways: paid diagnostic reports and affiliate commissions. This page explains exactly how the affiliate side works.

What are affiliate links?

Some links on this site go to services we write about — formation providers, banks, payment processors, tax services, and others. When you click one of these links and sign up for a service, Global Solo may earn a commission from the provider. You pay the same price either way.

What this does NOT change

  • We cover services we don't earn from. Most of the services on this site have no affiliate relationship with us. We include them because they matter to cross-border founders.
  • Affiliate status doesn't change rankings or scores. Our comparison tools use the same data dimensions regardless of whether a service pays us.
  • We never hide drawbacks. Every comparison article covers both strengths and structural risks for each service, including our partners.

Services we cover without earning

These are covered in our articles and comparison tools with no affiliate relationship — 27 services in total. We include them because cross-border founders use them.

Diagnostic reports

The META Diagnostic ($99) and Judgment Report ($349) are paid products. They use deterministic scoring — no AI decides your scores, and no affiliate relationship influences your report.
