Referral programme for advisers, brokers, lawyers & accountants
Refer an owner, a buyer or a mandate and earn a referral fee of up to US$100,000 per completed deal. We qualify it fast, handle it under NDA, protect your relationship and put your fee in writing before any client detail changes hands.
No retainers. No upfront fees. Ever. Acquiry is paid on completion, and your referral fee is paid out of that fee within 30 days of us receiving it.
Introduction record
REF ACQ-INT-0148
What you earn
Up to US$100,000
referral fee per completed deal
A real programme with written terms: you know what you earn, when you earn it and what is excluded before you share a single client name.
Your fee is a fixed share of the success fee Acquiry earns on the deal you introduced. Larger deals earn larger fees, up to US$100,000 per completed transaction.
The exact share, the cap and the protection period go into a signed referral agreement before you tell us who the client is. Nothing is agreed verbally.
We pay your fee within 30 days of Acquiry receiving its own fee at completion, by bank transfer against your invoice.
Who we work with
Professionals are often the first to know a client wants to sell, raise or buy. Partner with us and that moment turns into a properly run process, without you giving up the relationship.
Buy-side or sell-side mandates that need a wider buyer universe, a second origination channel or a counterparty you do not cover.
Listings that outgrow your usual buyer pool, cross-border interest, or digital assets where strategic and financial buyers pay more.
Clients who mention a sale, an approach or an acquisition plan. You stay their counsel; we run the commercial process alongside you.
Owner-managed clients planning an exit, receiving offers or looking to buy. You keep the tax and accounts work; we bring the buyers.
Who can refer
Two ways in
Route one
You know a business that may sell, raise or acquire. Register the introduction with us, we qualify it, and if it fits we take it forward with you in the loop.
Route two
Your client wants to buy, or needs buyers you cannot reach. Brief us on the criteria and we run origination for you, reporting back under your name or ours.
What we need from you
This is enough to register your introduction, check it against our records and tell you whether we can help. The client name comes later, after the NDA and referral agreement are signed.
How qualification works
We tell you quickly whether we can add value. If we can, the NDA and your fee letter are signed before any client detail changes hands.
Send the outline: sector, size band, geography and what the owner or buyer wants. No names needed yet.
We check fit against live buyer demand and our own criteria, then tell you plainly whether we can add value.
Before any client details change hands, we sign a mutual NDA and a referral agreement setting your fee, cap and 24-month protection window.
We take the opportunity forward with you informed at each milestone you have asked to see.
Your share is paid from our success fee when the deal completes, exactly as your fee letter sets out.
How attribution works
An introduction is credited to the first partner who registers it with enough detail for us to identify the opportunity. You get a reference number and a date-stamped confirmation by email.
We confirm within two working days whether the contact is new to Acquiry. If it is already known to us, we tell you straight away and explain why, before you share anything else.
If a deal with the introduced party completes within 24 months of registration, your fee is payable, even if the first conversation went quiet and was revived later.
Protection applies to the introduced owner or buyer and the transaction set out in your agreement. Follow-on deals with the same party can be added in writing.
An introduction is not eligible for a referral fee when:
When fees are agreed and paid
Your fee is fixed in writing before the client name is shared, and paid once the deal completes.
At registration
Reference number and date-stamped confirmation sent to you.
Within 2 working days
We confirm the contact is new to us, or explain why it is not.
Before names are shared
Mutual NDA and referral agreement signed: your share, cap and 24-month window.
During the process
Milestone updates at the level you chose: none, key stages or every step.
At completion
Acquiry receives its success fee. You invoice for your agreed share.
Within 30 days
Your referral fee is paid by bank transfer.
Confidentiality & relationship protection
Referral partners worry about being cut out. We built the process so that question never comes up.
Mutual NDA before any client detail is shared. Opportunities are discussed on a no-names basis until you and your client say otherwise.
We never approach your client around you, never solicit their other work and never cut you out of a deal you brought us.
Every introduction is logged with a date and reference when you register it, so who brought what is never in question.
Your share, when it is paid and how long your introduction stays protected are written into a fee letter before work starts.
Written fee agreements
Acquiry is paid only when a deal completes. Your share comes out of that fee and is set out in a signed fee letter before work starts.
Questions partners ask
No. Acquiry never charges retainers or upfront fees, to you or to your client. We are paid a success fee when a deal completes, and any share due to you is paid from that fee.
When you register an introduction it is logged with a date and reference. Before any client details are shared we sign a mutual NDA and a written fee letter that sets out your share and how long your introduction stays protected.
Referral fees run up to US$100,000 per completed deal. Your fee is a share of the success fee Acquiry earns on that deal, so it scales with deal size. The exact share and cap are written into your referral agreement before you share the client name.
Within 30 days of Acquiry receiving its success fee at completion, by bank transfer against your invoice. If a deal completes in stages, your fee follows the same stages as ours.
We check every registration against our records and tell you within two working days. If the contact already has an open conversation, mandate or NDA with us, the introduction is not eligible, and we tell you before you share anything more.
For 24 months from the date you register it. If a deal with the introduced party completes inside that window, your fee is payable, even if talks paused and restarted.
Yes, if you have a genuine relationship with an owner, buyer or investor: consultants, fractional CFOs, operating partners and investors refer to us too. The one test is a real relationship, not a name from a list.
That depends on your profession and jurisdiction, and you should check your own rules. Some lawyers and accountants must disclose referral fees to their client or decline them. We will put the fee in writing in whatever form your rules require, or waive it if you cannot accept one.
Only with your agreement and in the way you choose. We never approach your client around you or solicit their other work.
No. The first review is on a no-names basis: sector, size band, geography and what the owner or buyer wants are enough to tell you whether we can help.
Yes. Brief us on your client’s acquisition criteria and we run off-market origination against it, screening and qualifying targets before they reach your client.
We focus on digital, software, AI, fintech and media businesses worldwide, but we are not limited to them. Any sector, any market, bring it to us anyway.
