Can people charge for people using their hosted Jitsi?

Hi,

I am a managing director in the UK who partners with many companies such as IONOS (1and1), Dial9, Unlimited Web Hosting, Weebly and Wix and all of these services I charge my clients for to use their services on the same price as what is being sold or just cheaper.

I have been using Jitsi for my own company now and my staff use Jitsi for remote conferencing with clients. One questions I got from my client is would it be possible to pay my company for this service on a virtual server and in their own branding? Just seeing if that is possible to do or whether I would have to make them host it and have the Jitsi branding?

Just seeing as I know that I would have many clients who would love to have Jitsi for their company but do not have the resources or expertise to set this up.
