How to Offer E-Signatures to Clients Under Your Own Brand

# How to Offer E-Signatures to Clients Under Your Own Brand

TL;DR

You can add e-signature to your service stack under your own logo, color, and company name, then either bundle it into retainers or resell it as a line item. SignQuick's white-label Starter (150 EUR/mo flat) puts your brand at the top of every signing page, includes a REST API plus webhooks, and hosts everything in the EU (Frankfurt) with an eIDAS audit trail. Pricing is flat, with no per-seat and no per-envelope fees, so your margin stays predictable whether you send 5 documents a month or 100. This guide covers when it is worth it, exactly what your clients see today, and the pricing math.

Why put e-signature under your own brand

When you send a client a contract through a tool that shows someone else's logo, three impressions form in their head, and none of them are about you. The signing email carries the vendor's name. The signing page loads on the vendor's domain. The finished PDF says "powered by" a company your client could have signed up for directly.

White-label flips that. Every touchpoint in the deliverable chain (proposal, contract, statement of work, onboarding) stays on your brand. That does three things for an agency:

• Positioning. Signing becomes part of your service, not a tool your client could buy for themselves. That makes retainer pricing easier to justify.
• Retention. A branded signing flow is one more piece of your workflow the client would have to unwind to leave you.
• Margin. You control what you charge for it. The provider bills you a flat rate, and the spread is yours.

The agencies that get the most out of this: marketing and creative studios sending contracts and SOWs, web shops onboarding clients, recruiters handling offer letters, accountants sending engagement letters, and wedding or event planners collecting signed booking agreements.

What your clients actually see today

Be honest with yourself about the current state before you sell it, because your clients will notice.

Today, signing links look like signquick.app/sign/, and your logo sits at the top of that page. Your color and company name carry through the signing experience and the notification emails. On the Starter tier, a small "Powered by SignQuick" attribution remains at the bottom of the page. On Pro, that attribution is removed entirely, so nothing but your brand appears.

A fully custom domain (something like sign.youragency.com) is on the roadmap for Q3 2026. It is not live yet, so if a client is going to inspect the URL bar, set expectations now rather than promising a branded domain you cannot deliver this quarter. For most agencies, a branded page and branded emails are what clients actually register, and the domain is a nice-to-have arriving soon.

Two ways to offer it, and the margin math

There are two clean models. Pick based on how you already bill.

1. Bundle it into the retainer. You do not itemize signing at all. It becomes a value-add that makes your package feel more complete and raises your perceived value. Your cost is a flat 150 EUR/mo, absorbed across your whole book. This is the simplest and the easiest to sell, because there is no new line for the client to question.

2. Resell it as a line item. You charge each client a small monthly amount for "branded e-signature" and pocket the difference. Because SignQuick's pricing is flat, the math is simple and predictable.

Here is a concrete example. Say you run a studio with 12 active retainer clients. You add branded signing at 20 EUR/mo per client:

• Revenue: 12 x 20 EUR = 240 EUR/mo
• Cost: 150 EUR/mo flat (Starter)
• Margin: 90 EUR/mo, and every additional client is close to pure margin until you hit the volume ceiling

The key point is the flat rate. Your cost does not move with document volume, so you are never surprised by a per-envelope bill at the end of a busy month. Starter covers up to 100 documents per month; if you outgrow that, Pro raises the ceiling to 500 for 300 EUR/mo. There are no per-seat charges either, so adding team members who send documents costs nothing extra.

What you get on each plan

Both tiers include the same REST API and webhooks, so you can start with the branded hosted signing page and later embed signing into your own client portal without switching vendors. Both are billed flat, monthly.

Setting it up

• Start the trial. It runs 14 days, a card is required, and you can cancel anytime before it converts.
• Add your branding. Upload your logo, set your color, and enter your company name from the dashboard. This is what your clients see at the top of the signing page.
• Send a test document to yourself. Walk the full flow the way a client will experience it, including the confirmation email, so you know exactly what your brand looks like end to end.
• Decide bundle vs resell, and write the one line that goes on your proposals or your pricing page.
• Wire the API later if you need it. For most agencies the branded hosted page is enough on day one. The REST API and webhooks are there when you want to trigger sends from your own tools or CRM.

Get the legal claims right (this protects you)

When you resell signing, you are also reselling a claim about its legal standing, so be precise. Sloppy claims are what get agencies into trouble.

SignQuick provides eIDAS-compliant electronic signatures at the Simple Electronic Signature (SES) level. eIDAS (EU Regulation 910/2014) defines three tiers: SES, Advanced (AES), and Qualified (QES). SES is legally admissible across the EU for the vast majority of everyday business documents: contracts, SOWs, NDAs, engagement letters, booking agreements, and offer letters. Do not tell a client SignQuick delivers "qualified," "advanced," or "certified" signatures, and do not claim RFC-3161 timestamping or SMS identity verification. It does not, and overstating it is the fastest way to lose trust.

What SignQuick does give every signed document is a tamper-evident audit trail: a SHA-256 hash captured on every signature, alongside timestamps and IP data, so any change to the document after signing is detectable. On Pro, that trail is packaged as a formal audit-trail certificate PDF. "Tamper-evident" is the accurate word. It means alteration is detectable, not that alteration is impossible, so avoid "tamper-proof."

If a specific client genuinely needs QES (for example, certain notarized acts or documents requiring written form under national law), be upfront that SES is not the right tool for that particular document, and keep your credibility intact for the 90 percent of their volume where SES is exactly right.

FAQ

Is a signature valid if it carries my brand instead of the provider's?

Yes. Legal validity comes from the underlying eIDAS-compliant SES audit trail (timestamps, IP data, and a SHA-256 document hash), not from whose logo is on the page. A document signed under your brand carries the same weight as one signed under SignQuick's.

Will my clients see any SignQuick branding?

On Starter, a small "Powered by SignQuick" line remains at the bottom of the signing page. On Pro (300 EUR/mo), that attribution is removed entirely, so only your brand appears. A fully custom domain is planned for Q3 2026 and is not live yet.

Can I charge clients more than I pay?

Yes. Pricing is flat with no per-seat or per-envelope fees, so whatever you charge above 150 EUR/mo (Starter) or 300 EUR/mo (Pro) is your margin. Many agencies either bundle it into retainers or add it as a small monthly line item.

What happens if I send more documents than my plan covers?

Starter covers up to 100 documents per month and Pro up to 500. If your volume grows past Starter's ceiling, move up to Pro. There are no surprise per-document charges, because the cost is flat by tier.
