The short application takes a few minutes. RCAG reviews every one, and where there looks to be a fit the full Professional Application and Vetting Form follows.
This is the short first stage. It takes a few minutes, and there is no fee at this stage or any other.
RCAG reviews every application. If there looks to be a fit, what follows is the full Professional Application and Vetting Form, which is long on purpose, because the alternative is putting somebody in front of a client on the strength of a good conversation.
If there isn’t a fit right now, we’ll tell you rather than leave you waiting on an answer that isn’t coming.
Stage one
This form
Who you are, what you do, and who you do it for. A few minutes. What we’re working out is whether the discipline and the fit are worth a real conversation.
Stage two
Professional Application & Vetting Form
Sent only if stage one looks like a fit. This is where the actual qualification happens, and it asks for a great deal more than this page does.
Stage one
Tell us what you do
No fee · no exclusivity
Application received.
RCAG reviews every one. If there’s a fit, the next thing you’ll get is the full Professional Application and Vetting Form. If there isn’t, we’ll tell you that instead of going quiet.
What you’re agreeing to
Nothing, yet
Applying costs nothing and commits nothing
There is no membership fee to join the RCAG Professional Network, at either stage. Sending this form doesn’t put you in the network, doesn’t create an agreement between us, and doesn’t oblige either of us to anything.
You stay independent
Your firm stays your firm and your clients stay your clients. Where a client engages you, they engage you directly and under your own agreement, and you remain solely responsible for your own advice. We’re not reselling your work.
Compensation doesn’t decide who we recommend
Referral, affiliate, origination or other compensation arrangements may exist depending on the professional category and the engagement. None of them buy access to RCAG clients and none of them determine who we recommend. We choose professionals because we know they can help solve the problem, the same way they help us solve ours.
Long. It goes into your practice, your experience, your coverage and your capacity in a way this page deliberately doesn’t. We only send it to people we think are worth both of our time.
Where your discipline is regulated, yes, you hold what that discipline requires. Beyond that the question is the plain one: when a client is in front of you with this problem, can you fix it.
All eleven, plus operators. The network is open across the established disciplines, and where the real gaps are is something client demand will tell us rather than something we’ll guess at now.
No. You keep your own practice and your own referral relationships. The point is that a client gets the right professional, not that anyone owes anyone volume.
Not sure the network is what you’re after?
The network page sets out the eleven disciplines, how an introduction actually works, and what independence means here.
