What to listen for

Four situations worth an introduction.

These are the conversations that turn into work. Hearing one of them is enough to make an introduction, and you do not need to know which Begine Fusion service fits.

  • Systems that do not talk to each other

    Sales, finance, HR and operations each running their own tool, with somebody rekeying between them every week.

  • Software nobody uses

    A platform bought last year that the team works around instead of in. The licence renews anyway.

  • An AI project that stalled

    A pilot that impressed everyone in the room and never reached the people doing the work.

  • Growth that runs through one person

    New business arriving through the founder and their contacts, with no system behind it.

What we pay

5 to 10 percent of the first engagement.

The fee follows a closed deal. An introduction on its own earns nothing. We agree your number inside that band before the engagement starts and record it, so it is settled well before there is money on the table.

The fee is calculated on Begine Fusion services revenue: consulting, implementation, build, training and managed operations. Software licences, subscriptions, hardware and other third-party costs passed through to the client are excluded, because Begine Fusion resells several of those at little or no margin.

How it works

From introduction to payment.

  1. 01

    Register the introduction

    Give us the company, who to speak to there, and what you have heard. Six fields.

  2. 02

    We check it

    We check the company against work already in progress and come back to you within five business days.

  3. 03

    We make contact

    We tell them who introduced us, where you have agreed to be named, and take it from there.

  4. 04

    You get paid

    The engagement closes, the client pays, and your fee follows within 30 days.

Register

Register a referral.

Register before we are already talking to them. We check every registration against work in progress, and a company already in conversation with us is the most common reason a referral is declined. We tell you either way within five business days.

  • Registration holds for 12 months.
  • If the company asks whether a fee is involved, we tell them.
  • If you cannot accept a fee, say so and we take the referral forward without one.

Who are you introducing?

Six fields. Anything else we need is a reply to the confirmation email.

The terms

The rules that decide whether a fee is paid.

Referred to from clause 23 of our Terms and Conditions. These govern any fee Begine Fusion pays.

Read the full terms

Who can refer

Anyone outside Begine Fusion can register a referral. Clients, former clients, consultants, accountants, managed service providers, agencies, fractional executives, association leaders and other professionals are the people this is built for. Begine Fusion employees and contractors are covered by a separate internal arrangement.

What counts as a referral

A referral is an introduction to a named company and a named person at that company, registered with Begine Fusion before they are in conversation with us. A company name on its own is not a referral, because it gives us nobody to speak to. The referral is recorded on the date we receive it.

What the fee is calculated on

The fee is 5 to 10 percent of Begine Fusion services revenue on the first engagement with that client: consulting, implementation, build, training and managed operations delivered by our team. Software licences, subscriptions, hardware and any other third-party cost passed through to the client are excluded from that figure.

When the fee is paid

The fee is earned when the referred company becomes a paying client. It becomes payable after Begine Fusion receives payment from them. Where a client pays in instalments, the fee is paid in the same proportions. Fees are paid within 30 days of Begine Fusion receiving the client payment that triggers them.

Registration, expiry, and companies we already know

Registration holds for 12 months. Where the referred company has not started an engagement in that time, the registration expires, and you can register the same company again after that. Begine Fusion checks every registration against live pipeline on the day it arrives. Where we are already in conversation with that company, we tell you within five business days and the registration is declined.

Referrals Begine Fusion declines

Begine Fusion can decline any referral without giving a reason. A referral is declined where the company is already in our pipeline, where the work falls outside what we do, or where we judge the engagement to be a poor fit.

Disclosure

Where you have agreed to be named, Begine Fusion tells the referred company who introduced us. If they ask whether a fee is involved, we tell them, and any fee is confirmed before an engagement is signed. Begine Fusion does not conceal a fee from a company that asks about one.

If you cannot accept a fee

Accountants, managed service providers, fractional executives and people bound by professional independence rules often cannot accept a referral fee. Tell us and we take the referral forward with no fee attached. Begine Fusion also refers work in the other direction: where a company needs something outside what we do, we send it to specialists we trust. Tell us what you want to receive and we keep you on that list.

Payment and tax

Fees are paid by electronic transfer in Canadian dollars unless we agree otherwise in writing. Begine Fusion sells internationally and can pay in other currencies where the transfer is practical. You are responsible for reporting and paying tax on any fee you receive. Where you refer through a company rather than personally, invoice us and we pay the invoice.

Changes to these terms

Begine Fusion can change these terms. A referral already registered is settled under the terms in force on the day it was registered.
