How to team up with other small businesses to grow your money app
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
You are not the only small business trying to reach your customers. Teaming up with others who serve the same people, such as a travel agent, a food shop or a local app, can bring you new users at almost no cost.
Find businesses that share your customers
List businesses your customers already use and trust, but which do not compete with you.
Offer something useful
Simple ways to help each other:
- Mention each other in newsletters or social posts.
- Share a stand at a local event.
- Put each other's posters or QR codes up.
- Let their customers pay with your app.
Keep it simple and fair
Agree in writing what each side does. Keep any rewards open and honest with customers.
Measure what comes in
Use a separate link or code for each partner, so you both see what the partnership brings.
Keep the good ones close
Thank partners, share results and look for the next thing you can do together.
Build it
Create your own financial platform.
Pick a template, name it, brand it, preview every page before you pay. Your brand, your users, your fees.

Is there a step-by-step plan I can follow?
Yes. The free launch checklist takes you from picking your people and naming your app to setting fees, going live and winning your first ten customers.
