Two ways to work with Margin Labs. A focused Quick Start Call for platforms ready to talk to processors, or a limited advisory retainer for platforms in active implementation.
Get Started →Two-step form · reviewed within 2 to 3 business days
A focused 1-hour working session for platforms that have done the strategic work and are ready to talk to processors. We confirm your model, shortlist the right partners and facilitate warm introductions.
For platforms in active implementation that want ongoing access to someone who has been through this process repeatedly. Model selection, partner negotiation, launch sequencing and post-launch optimization.
Reviewed within 2 to 3 business days. We respond directly with next steps and either schedule the conversation or tell you honestly that we are not the right fit.
No sales call. No spam. Reviewed within 2 to 3 business days.
Submissions are reviewed by Chris directly. You'll hear back at the email you provided, either with scheduling for the conversation or with an honest read on whether this is the right fit.
Get a vendor-neutral read on your model choice and vendor shortlist before you commit. Most platforms leave 5 to 15 basis points on the table in their first negotiation. We help you find them first.
Review processor and PayFac partner term sheets clause by clause. Identify red-flag pricing structures. Build your counter-position before you walk into the conversation.
Design the merchant activation strategy that gets you to 60 percent or better attachment. Most platforms hit 20 percent and stall. This is the work that closes the gap.
Quick Start Calls fit platforms that have done the strategic work and are ready to engage processors. Advisory retainers fit platforms in active implementation that need ongoing support.
