Why partner with us
Say yes to more of what your clients ask for.
You already hold the relationships. We add the engineering depth that lets you act on the briefs you would otherwise have to turn down.
- 01
Say yes to the project you would normally pass on
Win briefs that used to fall outside what you can build, without turning them away or stretching your own team.
- 02
Introduce a specialist your clients can trust
When a client asks for something outside your services, you can point them to a team that builds working software, not demos.
- 03
Earn from conversations you are already having
Referral partners earn 12.5% of the fees on each referred client’s first project, under a written agreement.
- 04
Add delivery capacity without permanent headcount
Bring in engineers for a defined project instead of recruiting, then step back when it is delivered.
- 05
Keep the relationship you built
Client ownership, confidentiality and communication boundaries are agreed up front, in writing.
- 06
Offer a more complete solution
Pair your strategy, design or support with custom software, automation and integrations behind it.
Two ways to work together
Choose your partnership model.
Refer the work and let us handle it, or sell it yourself and use us as your delivery team. Either way you can see up front who owns the client, who contracts and who invoices.
Model A
Referral Partner
Introduce the opportunity. We handle the delivery. You earn a commission.
Model B
Delivery / White-Label Partner
Your relationship. Our engineering expertise.
- Who owns the client relationship
- You stay their trusted adviser. Once they agree to talk, CacheStack works with them directly.
- You. CacheStack stays behind the scenes unless you want us in the room.
- Who contracts with the client
- CacheStack contracts directly with the client.
- You contract with your client. CacheStack contracts with you.
- Who invoices whom
- CacheStack invoices the client.
- You invoice your client. CacheStack invoices you for the agreed delivery work.
- What CacheStack delivers
- Discovery, proposal, contracting, technical delivery and the support arrangements agreed with the client.
- Technical delivery to an agreed scope, milestones and responsibilities, white-labelled where agreed.
- Who owns the build
- The client. Ownership transfers to them on completion, once invoices are settled.
- You, to pass on to your client as you agree between you. Ownership transfers on completion, once our invoices are settled.
- How you earn
- 12.5% of the fees CacheStack receives for each referred client’s first project, excluding VAT. No joining fee.
- You set your own price to your client and keep your margin. There is no standard margin: it depends on scope and delivery.
- Who it suits
- Advisers, agencies and consultants who spot software needs but do not want to deliver them.
- Agencies, studios, IT providers and consultancies selling larger digital projects they cannot build entirely in-house.
- Next step
- Tell us about your clients. We agree referral terms in writing before any introduction.
- Tell us about a first project or the kind of work you sell. Subcontracting terms are agreed in writing.
Each partnership is set out in a written agreement before any work is referred or delivered, and joining is subject to our review.
Referral partnerships
How much could you earn?
12.5% of the fees on each referred client’s first project, with no joining fee. Adjust the figures to see what that comes to.
£500 to £250,000. The slider covers up to £50,000; type a higher figure if you need to.
Referred clients
Commission is paid on each referred client’s first project.
Estimated partner commission
Estimated commission £750 on 1 referred client with a first project of £6,000, at 12.5%.
12.5% of £6,000 in first-project fees
- Per referred client
- £750
- Fees remaining with CacheStack after commission, before delivery and other costs
- £5,250
Illustrative calculation. Commission is 12.5% of the fees we receive for a referred client’s first project, excluding VAT, under a written referral agreement. Later projects with the same client do not carry commission.
What we can deliver
Projects partners can introduce or subcontract.
Practical systems, built to work in a client’s real business. We work across industries rather than a narrow few.
Operational automation
AI and workflow automation that takes repetitive admin out of a client’s week.
Dashboards and reporting
Internal tools that pull scattered figures into one view people can act on.
Portals and business apps
Client portals and internal applications shaped around how a business actually works.
SaaS products
Multi-tenant platforms, from first working version through to a product you can sell.
Document processing
Pulling structure and answers out of contracts, filings, forms and reports, with people reviewing the result.
System integrations
APIs and workflows that make the tools a client already pays for talk to each other.
Business intelligence
Analysis and reporting platforms built on a client’s own data.
Websites and digital experiences
Custom sites and web experiences that go beyond a template.
Illustrative scenarios
Hypothetical examples to show the shape of a conversation. They are not client case studies; those are below.
“Your accounting client spends days compiling reports every month.”
A reporting tool that assembles the first draft from their data.
“Your recruitment client needs to automate candidate administration.”
A workflow that turns interview notes into consistent candidate profiles.
“Your agency client wants an internal dashboard that off-the-shelf software cannot provide.”
A bespoke dashboard behind a login, built to their process.
