MBO directs Warner Music-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 Warner Music's criteria to engage as qualified vendors. Independent professionals interested in engaging through Vendor Services must pass a qualification evaluation during the onboarding process. MBO invoices Warner Music for approved time/expense submissions and pays contractors upon receipt of Warner Music's payment.
- 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 true independent business practitioners. Note that overtime applies; as a result, you must accommodate for anticipated overtime costs in your Purchase Order. MBO pays workers weekly from the onset of their assignments.
