The Distributed Business Model (DBM) is a viral marketing concept for software as a service (SaaS) web-ware solutions that are specifically targeted at high growth potential niche business oportunities.
The SaaS web-ware is specifically designed to service the needs of a single client. In this case, any business looking for an onboarding solution for visitors to their workplace.
However, the SaaS web-ware also allows users to add unlimited numbers of clients. This is not a bug, it's a feature. A typical business will not utilize this feature because they will only register their business. The feature is hidden in plain sight.
By not setting limits on the service, it enables entrepreneurs wanting to enter the SaaS business space an easy and affordable path to quickly setup their own business without the need to develop the web-ware.
The web-ware is designed to be embedded in the entrepreneur's website resulting in a professional and streamlined website whatever hosting platform the ententrepreneur selects, including Wordpress and Squarespace.
The viral nature of the DBM becomes apparent when entrepreneurs start building their businesses.
The short answer is; there are no restrictions. This makes sense from a practical view point when you consider how restrictions could be enforced other than through the web-ware itself.
No assumptions are made regarding the choices, needs and business requirements of the entrepreneur other than the market niche of site onboarding.
