Referral partner program · BC
You already know who is stuck.
The businesses you advise complain about their software to you first. Point one of them our way. We run a free teardown, build the system if it is worth building, and your client owns the code. You earn 10% of the build for the introduction. Private-sector clients only: no referral fee is ever paid on a public-body engagement.

Who this is for
If trades and small businesses trust you, this is for you.
The best referrals come from the person a business owner already leans on. You hear the complaints first. You are the one they ask whether any of this is normal.
Bookkeepers and accountants
You see exactly which clients are drowning in manual data entry and duct-taped tools, and you see the subscription line items every month. You already have the trust. We do the build.
Fractional CFOs and finance
You are the one telling them the software stack is a runaway cost. Hand them a way to own the asset instead of renting it for another decade.
Coaches and consultants
You fix the process. We build the tool that locks the new process in, so your clients stop sliding back into spreadsheets a quarter after you leave.
Supply houses and distributors
Your contractors are the exact buyers we build for. Refer them and add something to the relationship that is not another invoice.
The argument you get to make
Software is the only thing they still rent.
Your clients own their trucks, their tools, and often their shop. They rent software because a custom build used to cost roughly ten times what it costs now. That stopped being true, and most of them have not run the numbers since.
A $12,000 a year subscription is $120,000 over ten years flat, and closer to $151,000 once you allow 5% annual escalation. A $30,000 build with no subscription attached is $30,000 across the same decade, and they own it. Break-even lands at year 2.5.
You do not have to sell any of that. Send them the calculator and let the numbers do it, then make the introduction if it lands.
How it works
Three steps. Most of them are ours.
Send the intro
An email, a forwarded number, or a name on a call. However you already make warm introductions is all this takes.
We run a free teardown
No pressure and no pitch. We review their workflows and tools and tell them straight whether a custom build is worth it. Your name stays attached to good advice either way.
You get paid when they build
If they sign a build, you earn 10% of the cash value, paid when the project ships. No cap on how many you send.
Why partner with us
Your name is on the line. We get that.
We do not poach
We build software and nothing else. Your relationship stays yours. We make you look good and then step back out of it.
Straight answers
If custom is not right for your client, we say so to their face. We would rather give an honest no than spend the trust you handed us.
Private sector only
The programme covers private businesses and nothing else. No referral or finder's fee is paid on any public-body engagement, and an introduction to a municipality, school district, health authority or ministry earns nothing. We keep public files clean.
Real money, paid on time
10% of the build, agreed in writing before the first introduction. On a typical build that is a four-figure payment for one warm intro.

Before you send anyone
The questions referrers ask.
What do I actually have to do?
Make one warm intro. An email, a forwarded number, or a name mentioned on a call. You do not pitch, you do not scope anything, and you do not need to understand the technology. We take it from the introduction onward and keep you posted.
How and when do I get paid?
10% of the cash value of the build, paid when the project ships. Terms are put in writing before your first introduction so there is nothing to argue about later. There is no cap on how many clients you refer.
What size projects are we talking about?
Most builds land between $15,000 and $60,000 CAD, which puts a single successful introduction in the low-to-mid four figures. Larger systems are quoted on scope and the referral scales with them.
What happens if my client is not a good fit?
We tell them straight that custom is not worth it for them, and no commission changes hands. That outcome is the point. You handed us your credibility, and an honest no protects it better than a sale would.
Will you take over my client relationship?
No. We build software. We do not do bookkeeping, advisory, coaching, or supply. Your relationship stays yours, and we are happy to keep you copied on everything so you can see exactly what is being said.
What does my client get out of it?
A system built for how they actually work, and they own it outright. On final payment the source code, the data, and the IP are theirs, with no per-seat licence and no annual renewal. They start with a free teardown of their current tools, which costs them nothing.
Does this apply to government or public-sector clients?
No. The referral programme applies to private-sector engagements only. No referral fee, finder's fee or commission is ever paid in connection with any public-body engagement, whether a municipality, a school district, a health authority, a Crown corporation, or a provincial or federal body. If the organization you want to introduce is a public body, send them to our public-sector pages directly and nothing changes hands.
Do I need an agreement in place first?
Yes, and it is short. We confirm the referral terms in writing before your first introduction, then give you a simple way to send people over. No portal to log into and no quota.
We are a tech partner, not a sales guy trying to move a car off the lot. That goes for the people who send us clients too. Make the intro, look good, get paid.

Tell us who you serve.

Not a referrer, just have a project? Start on the private-sector side instead.
