Introduce a business, get £100
You probably meet businesses before they think about a website. If you point one my way and they become a paying client, I will pay you £100 as a thank-you. There is no limit and no catch, and the business gets the same free consultation and honest advice as anybody else.
The short version of the terms
- £100 for each new client you introduce, paid once, after their first invoice is paid.
- There is no limit on how many businesses you introduce.
- You cannot refer yourself or your own business.
- If two people introduce the same business, or there is any doubt, I decide fairly.

The small print
Referral terms
- The reward is £100 for each new client you introduce. It is paid once per client, by bank transfer, after that client's first invoice has been paid in full.
- A new client is a business that was not already a client of WebLothian, or already talking to me about work, when you introduced them.
- An introduction counts when the business uses your referral link or names you when they first get in touch.
- There is no limit on how many businesses you can introduce.
- You cannot refer yourself, your own business or a business you own part of.
- Each client earns one reward, for the first person who introduced them. If there is a question over who that was, or over whether an introduction counts, I decide, fairly and in good faith.
- Any tax due on a reward is yours to declare. If your profession or your employer has rules about introductions, such as telling the business that you receive a reward, please follow them.
- I may change or end the scheme at any time. An introduction made before a change is rewarded on the terms that applied when it was made.
