The Services Hub Collab Project

Read this one properly before saying yes. The other two programmes ask for your time. This one asks you to co-own something with other people. That is a different kind of commitment and it is much harder to unwind. Nothing on this page is a contract — the actual terms are in a written agreement you would see before anything is formed.

What it is

A small group of specialists — between two and five — who build and run one thing together, jointly owned.

Not a referral arrangement and not a loose partnership. A hub is a real, named entity inside ARC with its own members, its own work and its own share structure. The people in it are the ones who built it, and their stake reflects that.

Hubs also have lineage: a hub that grows out of another hub keeps that connection on the record. It is why the structure is written down at the start rather than settled later — the relationships between hubs outlast any individual arrangement inside one.

Who it is for

Specialists whose services genuinely combine into something a client would buy as one thing — not adjacent services sold side by side.
People who have worked together before, or who are willing to do a small piece of work together first. Joint ownership is a poor place to discover you work differently.
People comfortable with a written agreement and with the fact that their share is fixed in it.

Who it is not for

Anyone looking for referrals, visibility or a network. Those are worth having and this is not the route to them — Build Your Room is.

How it runs

Find the others

Two to five specialists whose work actually combines. Your Facilitator helps here — this is the step people most often get wrong on their own.

Agree what it is

What the hub sells, who does what, and what happens if someone leaves. Written, before anything is formed.

Structure it

The share structure and the agreement are settled and recorded. This is the point of no easy return, and it is deliberately a distinct step.

Trade

The hub does real work for real clients. A hub that never trades is a document, not a hub.

What it asks of you

Joint ownership, in writing. Your share is set in an agreement. It is not adjusted later because circumstances changed.
Your intellectual property, considered carefully. What you bring, what the hub owns, and what you keep are all decided up front. If you are not willing to have that conversation in detail, this is not the programme.
Other people depending on you. Four other specialists may have built around your part of the offer.
It is hard to leave. A hub that carries lineage cannot simply be deleted, because other people's relationships are recorded against it. Exit is handled properly, which means slowly.

Money and shares

A hub has a defined share structure that recognises the specialists in it, the Facilitator who supported it, and the hub it grew from. The specific figures are not published on this page on purpose.

They belong in the written agreement you would see in full before committing, alongside the legal and tax questions that come with co-owning anything. Anyone quoting you percentages from memory — including anyone inside ARC — is not the source of truth. The agreement is.

What it leads to

A trading hub with more than one owner, and an offer none of you could have sold alone. Hubs also grow other hubs, and that lineage is tracked — a hub you help create can go on to create others.

If this is for you

Say so on your dashboard — the Programmes you could join card records your answer and sends it to your Facilitator. For this one, expect a proper conversation before anything is formed; that is the process working, not a delay.

“Not yet” is the most common honest answer here, and it is worth recording rather than leaving blank.
