Ask your AI assistant to run this check
This checker and the check_eligibility tool on the Netify assistant connector run the same seven gates, so the verdict is the same whichever you use. If your assistant supports connectors, paste this prompt:
Using the Netify connector at https://netify.co.uk/api/mcp/, run check_eligibility for my business. Tell me which gates I clear, what would block a BT reseller application and how to fix it. If I clear the gates, ask me whether I want to request the confidential rate card.
Setup instructions for Claude, ChatGPT and other clients are on the assistant connector page.
Common questions
Who is eligible to resell BT Business broadband?
UK-registered Ltd companies that clear seven gates: a business email on a custom domain, a physical workspace fit for a BT compliance audit, a documented Anti-Bribery and Corruption policy, Ofcom General Conditions and UK GDPR adherence, UK-based staff handling customer data, and a named compliance owner. Sole traders and unincorporated partnerships are not eligible. There is no minimum spend, no sales target and no joining fee.
How long does the BT reseller application take?
Two to three weeks from application to a live reseller code. Most applicants complete all six stages (eligibility check, Netify registration, BT nomination, compliance audit, training, activation) inside 15 working days. Complex business structures can add a week.
What happens if I fail one of the eligibility gates?
Most blockers are paperwork rather than showstoppers. A missing Anti-Bribery and Corruption policy is a document to draft, a named compliance owner can be a director wearing multiple hats, and home offices are accepted where they meet the audit criteria. The checker flags the specific failing gate and explains the fix for each one.
