Visa has a program for co-branded cards here:

ANSWERS:

Revenue share depends on the issuer, Visa is not directly involved:

That depends on the contract negotiated between the partner and
issuer. Visa is not privy to these negotiations.

Here is a list of issuers:

Here is a 'get started form' from MBNA:

Requirements to participate:

---

Company size is not a huge factor:

Because each issuer has its own requirements regarding anticipated
card volume, there is no magic number. Issuers enter into programs for
different reasons: goodwill, alliances, etc. Higher numbers do gain
more attention, but they?re not the only criteria.

You may need to hire a consultant to take the proper steps to
obtaining your own credit card:

A consultant is not necessary, but in many cases a consultant can help
you create ideas for your program, develop a request for proposal
(RFP), talk to the issuers, etc. In the event you are interested,
we?ve provided a list of consultants from the credit card industry.

Here are the consultants recommended by Visa:

Here are the steps Visa has outlined:

I hope this is your answer you were seeking. Good luck!

GE Capital are probably the largest 'affinity card' partner in the UK.
A certain major highstreet bank even uses them for their own Corporate chargecards.
