If a business is created and a subscription is completed without the BRM Code:

1. The business becomes immediately ACTIVE once implementation and subscription fees are debited
2. The BRM Code cannot be modified on an ACTIVE business – the business must be INACTIVE for a minimum of 33 days before the modification can be processed
3. No commission is paid – without a BRM Code, payments and commissions are not processed to the BRM and Implementers

Note: BRMs are now locked to businesses, so referral codes cannot be added or changed after activation.
