Welcome Uproxx Managers!

Use this form to refer independent workers into the program. Your request will route to your business unit's sourcing lead, who will forward it to MBO Partners within three business days. MBO will manage the onboarding process and contact you and the sourcing lead with final charge rate information. MBO will also notify you when the worker is ready to begin the project.

You'll receive an email notification from MBO each time a worker engaged on your projects submits time, milestones, deliverables, and/or expenses. Follow the instructions in the email to execute the approval.

Please be sure to approve all submissions by 10:00 a.m. ET each Monday. Failure to meet this deadline may delay payments.

MBO Partners helps Uproxx offer the most efficient and appealing engagement environment possible for its valued independent talent. MBO's flexible engagement services (below) ensure that Uproxx can manage contractor relationships efficiently while staying compliant with contractor-related regulations. MBO also provides independents the highest level of advocacy and support throughout their Uproxx assignments.

MBO directs Uproxx-referred contractors into one of three engagement services depending on their characteristics, expectations, and business qualifications:

• Vendor Services, a business-to-business engagement service for independent professionals who meet Uproxx's criteria to engage as qualified vendors. Candidates must meet these criteria and pass a qualification evaluation.

• Business Services, a unique engagement alternative for independent professionals who wish to work as compliant independent business owners (LLCs or corporations) but need assistance meeting and maintaining the appropriate credentials to do so. Independents engaged through Business Services enjoy the freedom and flexibility of operating an independent business at less cost and with less administration than doing it alone.

• Payroll Services, a conventional W-2 payrolling solution for hourly workers who do not consider themselves (or qualify to operate as) true independent business practitioners.
