This agreement sets out the terms between an introducer and a business, where the introducer will refer new customers or clients to the business in return for a commission on sales, either on an ad-hoc basis as he comes across suitable opportunities, or an active basis, finding and soliciting potential customers before referring the business to them. The agreement contains terms that provide your business with strong protection against the introducer competing with you.

Sometimes the best business opportunities come about through a referral by someone else - probably not a professional salesman but rather someone with an extensive network of contacts in the distribution chain.
This agreement sets out terms for an introducer - another business or an individual - to refer your business to resellers or end customers in return for commission on sales made. The referral is likely to be for a high value product, or generate high volume sales to make the commission on the introduction worthwhile for the introducer.
The relationship could be one-off, intermittent, or regular. While many referrals are just the result of the introducer happening to be in a unique position to recommend your business to a contact, some introducers are in the business of doing so, and will actively scout and solicit introductions. This agreement is for all types of introduction arrangements.
Examples of when this document might be used:
This agreement places no obligation on the introducer to find orders for you, or to sell your products or services on your behalf as an agent. On the contrary, we include the option to prevent him from competing with you and selling similar goods or services.
Several options for payment of commission are included.
We offer a property finder's agreement for deals relating to land and property (either or both residential and commercial), where the introducer alerts you to properties you may wish to buy.
If you operate an Internet business, our affiliate terms and conditions template may be more suitable. Not only can it be used to regulate affiliate programmes, but can be edited for individual introducer arrangements where the referral is carried out online.
You may also be interested in our sales agency agreements if the introducer also sells on behalf of your business.
