FOR PARENTS
Everything to ask before your athlete signs up.
If you're like most parents we hear from, you have five specific worries. We'll take them in order.
Is this legitimate, or a scam?
Fair question — there are a lot of bad NIL actors out there. We're an early-stage company and trust is earned, not claimed. Here's what's already true: we never handle your athlete's money (all payments go directly from the business to them), we charge a flat annual fee disclosed up front, and full refunds are available anytime before outreach begins. Anything feels off? Email hello@nilpro.com.
Will this get my kid in trouble with their school?
NIL is permitted at every NCAA level and in ~40 states at the HS level, but each school has its own disclosure rules. NILPro's contract templates include the right boilerplate (FTC #ad, state NIL rules, school notification reminders) — but your student is the one who files with their athletic department. We give them the pre-filled disclosure packet and the deadline reminders; they send it from their own email.
Is my kid's information safe?
We collect the minimum: name, school, sport, hometown, one photo, Instagram. We don't sell data, share with advertisers, or expose info to third parties beyond the outreach email itself. Full privacy policy in the footer.
Who signs the contracts if my child is a minor?
You do. For athletes under 18, our contract templates include parent/guardian signature lines. We also require parent consent at signup for minors — you'll get an email to co-approve the account before outreach begins.
What about taxes?
NIL income is self-employment income. Your athlete will receive 1099s from any business paying them $600+. We don't do tax prep in v1 (coming later), but we link to NIL-specialized tax resources and provide year-end earnings summaries from your dashboard to make filing easier.
HUDDLE UP
A 20-min convo before signup
If your athlete is under 18, sit down with them and walk through these together:
- 01Types of deals they're comfortable promoting (product vs cash, content style).
- 02School's NIL disclosure policy (athletic dept site).
- 03Realistic expectation: most deals are $50–500 and product-based.
- 04Plan to review the target list together when it's ready (day 2) — blacklist any business you don't want contacted.
- 05Who decides: your student approves outreach, you co-sign contracts.

We built this the way we'd want a service built for our own kids. No commission. Parent co-sign. Blacklist first. Every dollar goes to the athlete.
