Business Forms: Introducer Fee (Single)

This Introducer Agreement (Fee for Single Transaction) is for use where one party (a supplier of a goods or services) wishes to engage another as an introducer of clients or suppliers.

This Introducer Agreement is designed for use where the supplier wishes to secure a contract with only one client, perhaps in a new market or geographical region, who may

 be specifically identified or not. Where the target client is not named, the Prospective Client Criteria Schedule provides for the supplier to insert any requirements it may have of the new client that the introducer is to find.

An introducer differs from an agent as an introducer does not do any selling of the other party’s products or services themselves, but rather will refer a potential client on, either through simply informing the client of the goods or services provided by the supplier, or by actively passing contact details and so forth on to the supplier of the product. Once the introduction is made, the introducer steps back and will have no further role in the relationship between the supplier and the customer. The selling and supply remains the sole remit of the supplier.

This Introducer Agreement can be set up so as to operate on a fixed fee or percentage basis, with payment upon the introduction itself, upon the first transaction, or both.

If you require an agreement which creates a principal – agent relationship, you should use one of the agency agreements available from the related document links below.

If you require an agreement which is designed for the situation where the supplier is not targeting a specific client or type of client, but is instead seeking new custom generally, you should use one of the Commission or Referral Fee Agreements, available from the related document links below.

The fee clause can be arranged so as to effectively operate as a no win – no fee deal, where, if there is no agreement reached between the supplier and a prospective client, the introducer will not be entitled to a fee.

This agreement has not been created in accordance with FSA rules or the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, and as such makes no reference or commitment to abiding by them. This agreement therefore is unsuitable for the introduction of clients for financial services, such as insurance products or investment advice.
