💡 How it works: Once the brand approves the project, it authorizes the funds through Stripe. Once it approves your content, the fee is released and sent to your bank account in 1–2 business days. Social Circle then prepares everything you need for your invoice (date, fee, the brand’s details, description of the work) — you just copy it into your own accounting or invoicing tool.

💡 You don't need a registered business to get paid. You work as an independent contractor: Stripe collects your tax details, pays you directly, and issues your tax form at the end of the year. Social Circle never holds your money and takes no commission.

We deliberately do not ask for your SSN, ITIN or EIN here. You enter it once, directly with Stripe, on their secure onboarding page — the same place you add your bank account.

1. Click Connect Stripe for payouts above (about 2 minutes)
2. Stripe collects your legal name, address, bank account and your Form W-9 (or Form W-8BEN if you're outside the US)
3. Stripe pays each approved fee straight into your bank account, usually in 1–2 business days
4. If you're paid over the reporting threshold in a year, Stripe issues your 1099 and files it with the IRS

Every project uses the same independent contractor agreement, generated from what the two of you agreed in the chat: scope, fee, deadline, usage rights and the advertising disclosure. Both sides sign it digitally.

You keep ownership of your content. The brand gets only the usage rights written into that agreement — if paid-ads usage isn't in it, it isn't granted.

📋 Details for your contractor agreement

💡 How it works: Social Circle generates the contractor agreement for every collaboration. You and the brand sign it digitally in the chat before you start filming. The fee goes straight to your bank account through Stripe — Social Circle takes no commission.

⚠️ Taxes: nothing is withheld. You receive the full fee and owe your own income tax plus self-employment tax, usually paid as quarterly estimated tax. Set money aside from every payment — the calculator under Earnings gives you a rough figure. This isn't tax advice.

🏢 Business details

💡 Why a business helps: once UGC is regular income, a registered business lets you deduct the costs of doing the work — gear, props, software, part of your phone and internet, mileage. Social Circle prepares the paperwork; your accountant decides what you can deduct.

🏛️ Company details

⚠️ You invoice the brand yourself. Social Circle does not process taxes for companies — compliance is your responsibility. We generate the agreement and hand you the invoice details; we don't review your invoice and aren't responsible for its tax treatment.

Social Circle gives you an invoice draft to make it easier, but it is not tax-verified. Have your accountant check it.

📝 No registered business — Social Circle generates the contractor agreement, Stripe collects your W-9 and pays you, and issues your 1099 if you pass the reporting threshold. You don't have to issue an invoice.

🧾 Sole proprietor or single-member LLC — same contract and the same Stripe payout, but you can invoice under your business name and deduct business expenses.

🏛️ LLC, S-corp or C-corp — you invoice the brand through your company and handle your own filings. Social Circle hands you every detail the invoice needs.

Social Circle automatically fills in the draft invoice for you (line items, amount, sales tax logic).
