Reduce Contractor Onboarding Drop-Off Before First Payout

If contractors stall between signup and first earnings, treat onboarding handoffs as an operations issue first, then confirm the causes with your funnel data. Drop-off can occur between applicable identity checks, tax collection, agreement steps, and payout activation, especially when no one owns the full path. A cleaner intake form will not fix a pending provider requirement, missing tax data for a reportable payment, or unfinished payout setup in another tool.

The practical question is not whether FATCA exists, but which controls actually reduce reporting errors and potential 30% withholding outcomes.
