Once the company's licensing deal is complete. Mode says companies are paid about three months after the first conversation, so plan on a similar wait.

Refer through Briggs Analytics instead

Every program only pays when its own buyer closes the deal, so a company sent to the wrong one pays nothing. If you know owners (as an accountant, lawyer, IT provider, banker or broker), send the company to us. We match it to the buyer that fits and pays best, and you share in the referral fee on written terms. How referring through Briggs Analytics works. Check your firm's rules on referral payments first.

Briggs Analytics is independent. Some buyers named on this page may pay Briggs Analytics a referral fee, and owners never pay us anything. Every figure comes from the buyer's own page or the source linked next to it, checked October 21, 2026. Buyers change their terms often, so confirm on their page before you sign. Disclosures
