Our Policy: Transfers Are Agency-to-Agency Only
In GoHighLevel, your account is called a “sub-account” (also called a location) and it lives inside an agency. Right now yours lives inside Progreda's agency and aheres to Progreda's Subaccount transfer policy which does not transfer sub-accounts directly into another agency unless it’s part of an agency-to-agency transfer (example: a business acquisition) or ejection directly to HighLevel.
If you are leaving Progreda to run your own agency, the correct process is:
✅ We eject your sub-account into a brand-new GoHighLevel agency account under your ownership.
Once this is complete, you will fully control your new agency and your sub-account.
Sub-Account Ejection Fee
To start the transition process, there is a one-time Sub-Account Ejection fee of $1497.
Payment is made via ACH
We will send an invoice for $1497
Work begins once payment is received
Timeline: 7 to 21 Business Days
Most transfers take 7 to 21 Business days (Monday through Friday), depending on your account setup. This includes preparing your sub-account, initiating the ejection, and confirming everything transfers properly.
What Progreda Does To Transfer Your Subaccount
During the ejection process, our technical and billing team prepares your sub-account for transfer and ensures the transition is handled correctly.
This includes reviewing and updating key technical settings such as:
Platform and Account Preparation
Confirming the correct transfer process for your request
Verifying sub-account ejection eligibility
Confirming agency-level settings that affect transfer
Integrations and API Review
Reviewing & removing connected integrations (Google, Facebook, Stripe, and others)
Reviewing API-related connections that may be impacted
Identifying which integrations will need to be reconnected after transfer
SaaS Mode Updates
Converting the sub-account from SaaS mode to standard mode
Removing saas mode billing
Removing saas mode features
Confirming the sub-account is ready for ejection
Prepare Phone System for Transfer (LeadConnector or Twilio)
Progreda uses both LeadConnector and Twilio, depending on the sub-account. so with that being said, a sub-account transfer doesn't transfer your phone number automatically. We will:
Identify your phone setup (LeadConnector or Twilio)
Confirm how phone numbers will be handled during transfer
Ensure the account is properly prepared for the transition
Email System Review (LC Mail or Mailgun)
Progreda uses both LC Mail and Mailgun, depending on the sub-account, the email account is managed by Progreda and routed to your subaccount, to make sure that your subaccount is ready to send emails, to prepare for transfer, We will:
Identify your email sending setup
Confirm what will need to be disconnected
Prepare the account for a clean transition
User Access + Permissions
A GoHighLevel agency transfer requires user access and permissions to be reviewed carefully. This work is handled by a Level 3 Progreda technician and includes:
Reviewing the user list inside the sub-account
Updating user types (so all your users transfer, not just one user)
Confirming access and permissions are set correctly for transfer capabilities
Preventing admin lockouts after the transfer
Twilio Phone Number Migration (If Your Sub-Account Uses Twilio)
If your sub-account is using Twilio for phone numbers, those numbers do not automatically transfer during a GoHighLevel sub-account ejection. Twilio requires a separate ownership transfer process, which must be coordinated carefully to avoid service disruption.
To support this, Progreda will assist by coordinating the Twilio phone number migration using one of the approved methods below.
How the Twilio Phone Number Transfer Works
In order to transfer your phone number, we must obtain and use a Twilio Account SID (Account ID) from the destination account. There are two supported transfer paths:
Option 1: Transfer to Your Own Twilio Account
If you are starting your own GoHighLevel agency and want full control:
You will create your own Twilio account under your ownership
You will provide Progreda with your new Twilio Account SID
Progreda will coordinate the number release and migration from the existing Twilio account to your Twilio account
Once completed, you will reconnect the phone number inside your new GoHighLevel agency
Option 2: Transfer to GoHighLevel’s Twilio Account (Recommended for Agency Owners)
A recommended path is to use GoHighLevel’s managed Twilio infrastructure (LeadConnector:
Progreda will coordinate directly with GoHighLevel’s technical support team
GoHighLevel will provide the appropriate Twilio Account SID
Progreda will initiate the phone number transfer to GoHighLevel’s Twilio account
You and GoHighLevel will work together to complete the final configuration on in your agency.
Regardless of which option you choose, a valid Twilio Account SID from the receiving party is required before the transfer can begin.
Responsibilities Required to Complete a Twilio Phone Number Migration
To successfully complete the migration, the following steps are required:
Confirm the sub-account is using Twilio (not LeadConnector)
Identify the phone numbers associated with the sub-account
Determine the destination Twilio account (your own or GoHighLevel’s)
Obtain the destination Twilio Account SID
Coordinate number release and transfer approval
Complete Twilio’s required migration steps
Reconnect the phone numbers inside the new GoHighLevel agency
Verify inbound and outbound calling and messaging
Some of these steps require coordination between Progreda, Twilio, GoHighLevel, and you as the agency owner.
Important Timeline Expectation
If your transfer requires a Twilio phone number migration, this process can take up to 60 days, depending on:
Twilio approval timelines
Account verification requirements
Carrier-level processing delays
Responsiveness between involved parties
This Twilio timeline is separate from the standard 7 to 21 day sub-account ejection process and can extend beyond the main transfer window. We will guide and coordinate the process, but Twilio-controlled timelines are outside of Progreda’s direct control.
Mailgun Email Migration (If Your Sub-Account Uses Mailgun)
Mailgun Email Migration (If Your Sub-Account Uses Mailgun)
If your sub-account uses Mailgun for email sending, your email configuration does not transfer automatically during a sub-account ejection. Mailgun accounts are owned and billed at the agency level, so email sending must be recreated under your new agency after the transfer.
How Mailgun Works Under Progreda
While your sub-account lives inside Progreda, Progreda pays a separate subscription for and manages Mailgun on your behalf, including:
Mailgun subscription and billing
Sending domains
DNS records (SPF, DKIM, MX, DMARC)
Email deliverability and reputation
All of this is handled in the backend by Progreda technicians. Once your sub-account is ejected, this shared Mailgun setup is automatically removed and will not remain connected.
What Happens During a Mailgun Migration
Mailgun does not support transferring email domains between agencies. Instead, email sending is reset and rebuilt under the new agency:
Progreda disconnects and removes the existing Mailgun configuration
You choose a new email sending option
New DNS records are created and verified
Email sending is reconnected inside your new GoHighLevel agency
What You Are Responsible For After the Transfer
As the new agency owner, you will be responsible for:
Choosing LeadConnector email or creating your own Mailgun account
Setting up a new Mailgun subscription (if applicable)
Recreating DNS records (SPF, DKIM, MX, DMARC)
Verifying the sending domain
Reconnecting email inside GoHighLevel
Gradually warming up email sending
Progreda will no longer manage or pay for Mailgun after the transfer.

✅ 90 days of support via email

FAQs (Sub-Account Ejection Policy)
1) Why can’t you just press the transfer button for free?
We understand why you’d ask that. From the outside, it can look like a quick transfer.
But in GoHighLevel, moving a sub-account out of one agency and into a brand-new agency involves multiple technical steps, platform rules, and setup changes. The $1497 fee covers the technician work needed to prepare the account, update settings properly (including SaaS mode), review key integrations, handle user permissions, and complete the transfer the correct way.
2) Why do I have to pay $1497 to leave?
We understand that paying $1497 can feel frustrating, especially if your goal is simply to take your account and move on. The important thing to know is that the $1497 is not a “leave fee,” and it’s not a penalty. It’s a technical transition fee for the work required to eject your sub-account into a brand-new GoHighLevel agency under your ownership. When a sub-account is moved out of Progreda, we have to complete a structured process that protects your account and ensures the transfer is done correctly. This includes reviewing and preparing your account configuration, converting SaaS settings when needed, handling user permission updates, reviewing phone and email infrastructure, and verifying that the ejection is completed properly.
In addition, once your new agency is created, you will no longer have Progreda’s technicians doing everything behind the scenes for you. That’s why the $1497 also includes 90 days of email support after the transfer is completed, where our team guides you through the agency owner setup so you can confidently run your own GoHighLevel agency.
3) What exactly am I paying for?
The $1497 covers the work required to complete the ejection safely and correctly, including:
Sub-account transfer preparation
SaaS mode conversion (if your account is in SaaS mode)
User access and permission updates (Level 3 technician work)
Phone configuration review (LeadConnector or Twilio)
Email configuration review (LC Mail or Mailgun)
Integration review and documentation of what must be reconnected
Transfer execution and verification
90 days of email support after the transfer is completed
4) Can I get a discount?
We understand wanting to keep costs low. Because this process requires real technician time and cross-team coordination, the $1497 fee is a standard fee and is not discounted. This pricing allows us to complete the transfer properly and provide the 90-day support that comes with it.
5) Can you waive the fee just this one time?
We’re not able to waive the fee because this transfer requires structured work and dedicated support. Keeping the process consistent helps us handle every transfer fairly, professionally, and correctly.
6) Can I pay the $1497 using a credit card?
At this time, the $1497 Sub-Account Ejection fee is paid via ACH.
We will send you an invoice, and work begins once payment is received and cleared.
7) How long does the transfer take?
Most transfers take 7 to 21 business days, depending on your sub-account setup.
That timeline includes preparation, ejection, and validation that the account transferred correctly.
8) When do the 90 days of support start?
Your 90 days of email support starts after the transfer is completed and your new agency account is active.
9) What type of support do I get during the 90 days?
Support is provided through email only. During this time, our team will guide you step-by-step on how to set up and operate your agency and reconnect what’s needed inside your new HighLevel agency account.
10) Will Progreda set everything up for me inside my new agency account?
After the transfer is complete, you will have full control of your new agency account.
Our 90-day support is designed to guide you, answer questions, and help you troubleshoot, but you will be the one making the changes inside your agency.
11) Can you transfer my sub-account to my friend’s agency or another GoHighLevel agency?
No. Progreda does not transfer sub-accounts directly into another agency as a one-off request.
The only transfer options available are:
Agency acquisitions (agency-to-agency transfer as part of a business acquisition), or
Ejection directly to HighLevel, where a brand-new agency is created under your ownership
If you want to operate independently, the supported option is the sub-account ejection to a new agency.
12) Can I transfer the sub-account to another agency after you eject it?
Once your new agency is created and you own the subaccount, you can choose what to do next from your side. However, Progreda’s role ends after completing the ejection and the included support period.
13) Will my funnels, websites, and contacts transfer?
Yes, GoHighLevel transfers many major assets, including:
Funnels and websites
Calendars (external calendar integrations disconnect)
Contacts and conversations
Appointments and opportunity history
Workflows (transferred in Draft mode)
A full breakdown is included in the “What Transfers / What Does Not Transfer” section above.
14) What will NOT transfer?
Some items will not transfer and must be set up again inside your new agency, including:
Google, Facebook, and other auth integrations
Facebook/Google settings
Stripe fields at the sub-account level
Mailgun/SMTP settings
Smart Lists (currently do not transfer)
Paid add-ons (WordPress, Yext, WhatsApp, Dedicated IP, etc.)
15) Do phone numbers transfer automatically?
It depends on your configuration.
If everything is on LeadConnector, numbers may transfer automatically
If your account is using Twilio, there may be additional steps required, including creating your own Twilio account and reconnecting numbers after the transfer
16) Will I need to set up my domains again?
Yes. Domains do not automatically carry over in most cases, so after the transfer you will need to:
Re-add root domains
Re-add subdomains
Update DNS records
Confirm SSL and domain verification
17) Why do my workflows transfer in “Draft mode”?
GoHighLevel transfers workflows, but sets them to Draft so the new agency owner can review connections (email, phone, integrations) before turning them live again.
18) What if I change my mind after paying the $1497?
If you change your mind, contact support as soon as possible. If work has already started, the fee will still apply due to technician time and transfer preparation steps already performed.
19) Who do I contact to start the process?
Email: [email protected]
Subject: I Want to Eject My Subaccount to HighLevel
Body: Hi team, I read the Sub-Account Ejection Policy and I’m ready to start the transfer process. Please send me the $1497 ACH invoice and initiate the transfer.
20) What if I need more help after the 90 days?
If you want ongoing technical support after your 90 days ends, you can continue with a paid support subscription through our sister company GHL Engine, which supports 2,000+ HighLevel agencies and is built specifically to help agency owners run and operate their business on HighLevel.
