What are the requirements for Service Provider status?
Business requirements
Organizations applying for Service Provider status are required to have been in operation for a reasonable period, with audited financial records available for review by Apple. A credit line is required and must be agreed with the Apple Finance team in the appropriate region. Apple assesses eligibility for a credit line on the basis of (i) the profitability, financial wellbeing and solvency of the Service Provider; (ii) whether current and accurate financial and business performance information are provided in a timely fashion; and (iii) present value of the collateral or credit enhancement provided.
The organization should actively promote the Apple brand as part of their business along with AppleCare service and support products.
Applicants who do not meet these requirements may still apply if there are special circumstances, as each application is reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
