Release payments the day work is approved, not 60 days later
Creators talk. When one agency pays in 48 hours and another pays Net-60, creators deprioritize the slow payer.
Wingspan lets you approve a deliverable and release payment from one dashboard — the creator sees funds in their Wingspan wallet immediately. Your agency controls cash flow on your schedule while creators stop waiting and start prioritizing your campaigns.
Onboard 500 creators per campaign without emailing a single W-9
At low volume, collecting tax forms over email works. At 500 creators across eight states, it becomes a full-time job that still produces errors — missing W-9s delay payments and incomplete bank details trigger failed transfers.
Wingspan sends each creator one onboarding link where they complete their W-9, connect their bank account, upload a certificate of insurance if required, and sign NDAs or usage-rights agreements in a single session. Wayfinder AI verifies documents automatically with no manual review queue.
File 1099s for every creator automatically — no spreadsheets, no IRS penalties
If your agency paid more than $600 to a creator during the calendar year, you owe the IRS a 1099-NEC. For agencies working with thousands of creators across dozens of campaigns, that means thousands of forms — miss one, and the penalty starts at $60 per filing.
Wingspan tracks every payment to every creator throughout the year and generates and files 1099-NEC forms electronically at filing time. Copies are delivered to each creator's portal, and for non-U.S. creators, Wingspan collects W-8BEN forms during onboarding and applies correct withholding at payment.
Give full-time creators the benefits that keep them off W-2 payrolls
The biggest risk for creator platforms is losing top talent to traditional employment. A creator earning $80K per year through your network has every reason to take a salaried role if it comes with health insurance, dental coverage, and a retirement plan.
Wingspan gives creators access to health insurance, dental plans, and Solo 401(k) retirement savings — benefits typically reserved for full-time employees. Creators enroll through their Wingspan portal alongside payment and tax information, making your platform where creators build a career, not just pick up gigs.
Wingspan is a critical part of our infrastructure. At this point, we'd be lost without it.
