How do I request the creation of a new self-administered or sub-publishing account?
How to request a new self-administered or sub-publishing relationship be created or indicate separate payment information per catalog.
If you own or administer more than one publishing entity and would like to have your company as a stand alone publishing entity then you would need to submit a separate affiliation application with HFA.
However, if you already have an existing account, we can create a relationship between accounts and place them under your primary publishing entity or a separately designated entity under your control. This is known as a hierarchy.
For hierarchies there are two options.:
1) HFA can add them as accounts under a main one but with their unique tax information.
2) HFA can make them use the same payment method as your main account.
- This second option would be an "on behalf of" (OBO), meaning they would be listed as the administrating publisher OBO the claiming publisher. This would pay up to the chosen existing account and then payments can divided later accordingly.
You may submit a request for this creation here.
