FAQ
A few things
to know.
Clear answers before
your first introduction.
- Where is Civalta launching?
- We’re starting in Colorado, with plans to expand to additional jurisdictions.
- Do I need an opportunity to contact a lobbyist?
- No. You can browse profiles and contact lobbyists directly. Opportunities provide another way to share your needs and invite proposals.
- Can I keep my opportunity private?
- Yes. Choose a public opportunity or a private, invite-only opportunity. You can invite lobbyists to either once it is published.
- How does lobbyist registration verification work?
- Lobbyists provide a registration identifier where registration is required, including Colorado state government. Civalta uses it to verify registration status with the relevant Secretary of State. Colorado local government can be selected without registration details and is not verified.
- When does the 2.5% opportunity fee apply?
- The fee applies to engagements formed through an opportunity and is added to the lobbyist’s invoices. Client account creation and platform access are free.
- Can firms manage existing clients?
- Yes. Firms can import existing clients and relationships that existed prior onto Civalta at no charge.
