Ways to work together
You choose the model for each project. You can start with a single assignment.
| White-label | Co-branded | Joint project | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brand on the report | Yours only | Yours and MarketHub | Yours and MarketHub |
| Who talks to the client | You | You; our analyst joins if you ask | You and our analyst |
| When it fits | The research is part of your own service | You want to show the client an independent local source | The project needs an analyst working with the client |
| Mention of our work | Only with your consent | Yes | Yes |
Single assignments
Each project is quoted separately. You get a quote with scope and timeline within 72 hours.
Quarterly pool of hours
A fixed pool of analyst hours per quarter, with a fixed rate and priority in the queue.
Partner terms
For regular work we agree partner terms. We discuss them on the first call.
Who does what
We agree the split of roles in the brief. This is how it looks in a typical white-label project.
| Task | You | MarketHub |
|---|---|---|
| Client relationship and sales | You lead | We do not contact your client without your consent |
| Goal and research questions | You pass on your client’s goal | We help sharpen the questions and scope |
| Pricing | You set the price for your client | We quote our work to you within 72 hours |
| Data collection and expert interviews | Nothing needed from you | We run the whole research |
| Analysis and conclusions | You can add your own recommendations | We prepare the analysis and conclusions from the data |
| Report | You send your template and comments | We lay out the report in your template |
| Presentation to the client | You lead it or invite our analyst | Our analyst joins if you want |
| Invoicing | You invoice your client | We invoice your firm |
In co-branded and joint projects we take on some of these tasks ourselves, such as talking to the client directly.

Questions from advisers
Working together
Do we need a framework agreement?
No. You can start with a single assignment. For regular work we suggest a framework agreement with partner terms.
What is the expert commentary in your reports?
Opinions from industry, scientific and business experts we choose for the topic of the project. The expert explains what is behind the figures, checks the estimates and conclusions, and says what they may mean for your decision. The commentary is part of every paid MarketHub report.
Can the report carry our client’s brand instead of ours?
Yes. The report can be in your template or your client’s, without the MarketHub logo.
Who invoices the end client?
You do. We invoice your firm, and you agree terms with your client.
Can your analyst join a meeting with our client?
Yes, if you want. Depending on the model, they join as a MarketHub analyst or as part of your project team.
What are the partner terms?
They depend on the number and type of projects. We discuss them on the first partner call.
Can we add our own recommendations to the report?
Yes. You can add your own conclusions and recommendations. If you want, we check that they match the data.
Can we see an example of your work?
Yes. On the partner call we show extracts from reports in a neutral template. You can also read our free market briefs in English.
Confidentiality
Will you contact our client?
No. Without your consent we do not contact your client or approach them with offers.
Will the project appear in your case studies?
White-label projects never do. For co-branded work we agree the rules before we start.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes, before the brief.
When you interview Polish companies, will you say who the research is for?
No. We introduce ourselves as MarketHub and do not name your client.
Projects
How long does a project take?
It depends on the service and scope. Polish Company Check takes 48–72 hours. For other services the exact timeline is in the quote, which you get within 72 hours.
Do you deliver in English?
Yes. We deliver in English or Polish.
Can we order only part of the work, such as data collection?
Yes. We can collect the data and you write the analysis and conclusions. We agree the scope in the brief.
Can you help when a deal is already on the table?
Yes. Polish Company Check is designed for exactly that: a fast check of a Polish company from public sources, with red flags highlighted.
Do you run surveys in Poland?
Yes. We run telephone interviews (CATI) in-house, and large online surveys (CAWI) with a partner panel.
What if the client changes the scope during the project?
We tell you straight away how the change affects the timeline and price, and make it only after you approve.
