/ Referral Programme /

Know a business that deserves better IT? Introduce them to us. When they become a client, we say thank you with up to £750.

Refer a business

Up to £750, or one month of the new client’s fee if that is lower. Paid by bank transfer. Conditions apply. Read the Referral Programme Terms and Conditions.

why we do this

Why we have a referral programme

When we built Novix IT, we started from a simple belief: if our clients love what we do, they will tell people. People First is our core value, and this programme is how we say thank you for an act of trust that no marketing budget can buy.

We would rather grow through the people who already know our work than through advertising.

how it works

How it works

  1. 1

    Tell us who to speak to.

    Email referrals@novixit.co.uk with the business name, your contact’s name and job title, and their business email or phone number. That is all we need, and please do not send us anything more than that.

  2. 2

    We take it from there.

    We will confirm we have your referral within ten working days. Then we approach your contact, mention that you introduced us, and take the conversation from there. If they would rather we did not, we stop.

  3. 3

    They become a client.

    If they sign up for managed IT or cyber security, your referral has landed.

  4. 4

    We pay you.

    Your fee is paid at the end of the fourth month, once they have been with us for at least ninety days and everything is settled. Payment is by bank transfer.

what you get

What you get

Up to £750 for every business you introduce that becomes a managed IT or cyber security client. The exact figure is £750, or one month of their fee if that comes to less than £750, and it is worked out on their recurring monthly charge before VAT, not counting add-ons, licences or hardware.

One fee per business referred, however much they go on to buy from us.

Project work sits outside this. If your introduction leads to a project rather than an ongoing contract, we may pay a fee of up to 8% of the project value at our discretion, but there is no automatic entitlement.

Amounts and rules differ outside the United Kingdom. If you are in the EU, the UAE or the US, the terms set out what applies to you.

the honest small print

Things worth knowing before you refer

If you work for the business you are referring, you must tell them.

If you are an employee, director, adviser or contractor of the business you introduce, you need to tell them in writing that you stand to receive a fee from us, and how much, before they sign anything. Send us a copy of that email and we are all covered. Without it we cannot pay you, and there are no exceptions. This protects you as much as it protects us.

We cannot pay for someone we already know.

If the business is already a client, a former client, or already in our system as a lead or a contact, we cannot pay a fee on it. We will tell you within ten working days if that is the case, so you are never left guessing.

If they leave early, some of the fee comes back.

If the client leaves within their first year, we ask for part of the fee back on a sliding scale that runs out after twelve months. We do not ask for anything back if they leave because of something we did, and we never chase amounts of £100 or less.

You handle your own tax.

The fee is income. If you are VAT registered, invoice us and we will pay the VAT on top.

questions

Referral programme questions

£750, or one month of the new client's recurring fee if that is less. So a client paying £900 a month earns you £750, and a client paying £450 a month earns you £450.

At the end of the fourth month after they start with us, provided they have been with us at least ninety days and are up to date on their account.

Bank transfer to an account in your name. We do not pay in physical cash. If you are a client, you can ask us to credit your account instead.

No. Current and former clients, partners, suppliers, associates and any registered business can refer. You need to be at least eighteen. Our own team and their families cannot take part.

Yes, and there is no fixed limit, though we reserve the right to cap it by telling you in advance.

The first valid referral we receive is the one that counts.

Twelve months from when you send it. After that it lapses.

Then you must tell them in writing that you will receive a fee, and how much, before they sign with us, and send us a copy. We cannot pay you otherwise.

We ask for part of the fee back if they leave within twelve months, on a sliding scale. Nothing is owed after twelve months, nothing is owed if they left because of us, and we do not chase small amounts.

Yes. We run the programme in the UK, the EU and EEA, the UAE and the US. Amounts, tax paperwork and local rules differ, so check the terms for your country. You are responsible for making sure receiving a fee is lawful where you live.
