The AssurePath Bench · For senior independents

Build your fractional practice.
Without building the firm around it.

The AssurePath Bench is a collective of senior independent technology leaders. CIO, CTO, CISO, DPO and IT Director, backed by shared marketing, sales support, contracting, invoicing, insurance and delivery capability.

THE PROMISE

We do not promise you leads. We promise you are never selling on your own, and never doing the paperwork at all.

What this is

Chambers, not an agency.

Barristers solved this centuries ago. Self-employed practitioners with their own clients and their own reputations, pooling into a shared brand, a shared back office and shared clerking.

That is what this is. You are not employed. You are not placed. Your name stays on your work.

Worth more together than apart, or there is no point doing it.

WHAT IT IS NOT
  • A recruitment agency
  • A pay-to-join bench
  • An employer. You stay self-employed
  • A promise of leads on day one
What AssurePath takes off your plate

You are independent.
You are not on your own.

Even a strong network is hard to work consistently when you are also delivering for clients. It is the first thing to slip in a busy month, and it is a job nobody ever gave you a team for.

Demand generation
Campaigns, content, events and outbound. Into our markets and yours.
Sales support
An AssurePath colleague alongside you on the opportunity call.
Contracts and quotes
Proposals, contracts, e-signature and onboarding. All of it.
Invoicing and credit control
We bill and we chase. You stop being your own credit controller.
Insurance and tooling
Professional indemnity on the engagement, Microsoft 365, an AssurePath address, shared tooling.
Cover and peers
Holiday, illness, clashes. Senior people who have done this, in one group.
The commercial philosophy

A model that reflects who created the opportunity.

Bring an existing client, source the work yourself or take an engagement AssurePath found and sold. The economics are different because the work involved is different.

Whoever did the expensive bit gets paid for it. The full splits, and the rules for which one applies, are in the Principal Pack. Nothing changes once you are in.

65–85%

You retain between 65% and 85% of the client fee, depending on where the engagement originated.

No joining fee
No monthly bench fee
No billing target
Clients you bring in leave with you
The delivery arm

You advise. We can deliver.

Most fractional leaders eventually produce a roadmap that needs somebody else to build it. Here that capability sits behind you.

Managed IT, cyber operations, cloud, AI builds, automation, process improvement and product development, delivered by AssurePath engineers. You stay the trusted leader.

The guardrail. Build work is priced and contracted separately and is never billed against your fractional cover. That is the promise on our client pages and it applies to you. Introduce us where it genuinely helps. Never push. Your fee does not move either way.

Who we are looking for

This is a bench, not a directory.

We would rather stay small than lower the bar. The moment you put AssurePath on your profile, your reputation is tied to everyone else carrying it, and theirs is tied to you.

  • You have held the seat. Not aspiring to it, not adjacent to it
  • You are comfortable with a board and with engineers, in the same week
  • You can sell through relationships and deliver what you promised
  • Limited company, your own professional indemnity, clean professional standing
  • Two references from people who saw you deliver. We take them up

This is not for purely strategic, hands-off advisers. You do not have to configure the firewall yourself. You do need to understand the detail, challenge it and own the outcome.

The ask

Who are the first three people you would call?

Not "does this sound interesting". Everyone says yes to that. If you cannot name three, this is probably not the right year for it, and we would both rather know now.

WHAT THE PACK COVERS

The full commercial model, the splits and the rules that decide which applies. How contracting and payment work. What we expect from members. We read every request and reply personally.
