Know a company that needs what I do? That introduction can pay you for two years.
For businesses, individuals and recruiters alike: when a company you know needs a developer, a data scientist or a marketer and cannot justify, afford or find a full time hire, introduce them to me. You stay the person who solved their problem, and you earn 15% of my net fees in the first year, then 10%, for a maximum of 24 months per client.
Earn up to £50,000 in passive income over two years, per referred project.
Who This Is For
Three kinds of introducer, one set of terms
Businesses
Accountants, consultancies, software vendors, hosting providers, suppliers and agencies whose clients keep asking for development, data or marketing capacity they do not offer themselves. Agencies that want to white label my work instead have their own programme.
Individuals
Freelancers, fractional executives, consultants and former colleagues who sit in the room when a company realises it needs senior help. If you are the person they ask, you can be the person who gets paid for the answer.
Recruiters
Headhunters and talent partners holding a brief that will not fill: the budget is too small for a senior, the workload would not fill a week, or the candidate does not exist. Fractional capacity closes the file and pays you for a placement that was never going to happen.
What Counts As A Referral
A hot lead, not a database
A referral is a warm, personal introduction to a named decision maker who has a need and has agreed to speak to me. You get me into the room, by email or a call, and I take it from there. Access to a platform, a member list or a job board where I would have to go looking myself is not a referral, and only the registered partner who makes the direct introduction is paid, never a chain of people behind them.
How the fractional model worksThe Commission
Retainers
15% monthly in year one
A client on a £5,000 per month retainer earns you £750 every month in the first year, then £500, and commission ends after 24 months.
Projects
15% of the total
A £50,000 fixed price project earns you £7,500, paid in proportion to the milestone payments I receive. Projects signed after the first year earn 10%.
Not included
Performance and equity
Performance based engagements and growth for equity carry no referral commission. Commission applies only to standard monthly retainers and fixed price projects, anything else only by separate written agreement.
Commission is a share of my net fees, before VAT and after project pass-through costs such as ad spend, hosting and insurance supplements, on the amounts the client actually pays, never a share of the client revenue. Paid after I get paid, never in advance and never as a lump sum, on itemised monthly statements settled within 14 days, for a maximum of 24 months per client. If the programme ends, your commission trails for another 12 months.
What That Means Per Package
Worked examples with the published prices
These are the packages and prices from my pricing page, with your commission next to them: 15% of my net fees in year one, 10% in year two, for 24 months per client. The 24 month figure follows the typical falling path of an engagement, build, optimise, run, and is a worked example, not a promise.
| Package | Client pays per month (build phase) | Your commission in month one | Over 24 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data Science | £4,500 | £675 | £10,980 |
| Development | £6,600 | £990 | £16,440 |
| Smart Websites | £8,400 | £1,260 | £20,760 |
| Digitalisation | £8,600 | £1,290 | £21,180 |
| Growth Plus | £11,100 | £1,665 | £27,000 |
| Smart Websites campaign companion from month 5 | £1,900 | £285 | per month on top, while the client keeps it |
- Commission is calculated in the currency the client pays me in. The currency switch only changes how the examples are shown. If you want to be paid in a different currency, the terms set out how conversion works and who carries the exchange rate.
- Hourly task outsourcing and custom retainers carry commission only where agreed in writing for that client. Performance based and equity engagements carry none.
- The published prices assume up to 50,000 customer records under management. Larger clients carry an insurance supplement for professional indemnity, public liability and cyber cover, in brackets by records and cover limit, quoted in the workshop. Like ad spend and hosting it is a pass-through cost and sits outside your commission.
- Commission is exclusive of VAT and paid against your invoice. UK VAT registered partners add VAT, partners abroad invoice under the reverse charge, unregistered partners and individuals add none.
- Commission is capped at £50,000 per referred project over its 24 months (€58,000 or $63,000 on euro or dollar engagements). The cap only bites on engagements above roughly £200,000 a year, and it is per project, not per partner: bring as many as you like.
How It Works
Register once
Your legal name, company or trade registration, address, a professional profile and the bank account the commission goes to. Businesses register from their own domain. I verify, confirm in writing, and you get a Partner ID to give to every company you introduce.
Register in the hubIntroduce in writing
One email with the company, the contact person, their situation and confirmation that they agreed to the introduction. Before I speak to them, not after.
I confirm within 2 days
You get written acknowledgement, and monthly updates until the opportunity closes.
You earn, documented
When the client signs, the commission arrangement arrives in writing. Then monthly statements, a stepped 15% then 10% of my net fees, capped at 24 months per client.
The Part That Makes It Safe
Direct introduction wins
Only the registered partner who makes the direct introduction is paid, never a chain behind them. If two partners introduce the same company independently, the company names the one who counted by quoting a Partner ID at onboarding, and only that partner is paid. If a client was already in contact with me, I tell you upfront.
Paid on collected revenue
Commission follows my actual payments, on statements you can verify any time.
12 month trail
If the partnership ends, referred clients keep earning you commission for another 12 months.
12 month referral window
From the day you introduce a client, every engagement they sign within 12 months earns you commission, whichever service it is for. After 12 months the introduction expires, so there is never a dispute about an old name.
One email turns an introduction into recurring revenue.
You already know the company. I already have the delivery. Registering takes two minutes in the hub, the introduction takes five, and the commission runs for up to 24 months per client, up to £50,000 per referred project.
