Partners

Partnership is at the core of everything we do

We work alongside agencies, consultants and technology providers to deliver the software our partners’ clients need. Shared values, honest communication and software that stands the test of time.

Why partner with us

We're built from the ground up for development and AI enablement - thriving alongside the IT and marketing teams we work with. Here's what that looks like in practice.

We do the heavy lifting

You keep the client relationship and the industry knowledge. We bring the development muscle - custom software, integrations, automation, and AI enablement - and we make sure you look good doing it.

We share the nuts

Our partner program rewards you for every client you bring into the tree. Scoping, project, and ongoing commissions - paid quickly, with no minimums and no clawbacks.

Your involvement, your call

Stay as close to the project as you like, or hand it off entirely. We're happy either way - you'll always be kept in the loop.

Every build under one roof

Custom software, AI solutions, mobile apps, integrations, websites and code audits. Whatever your client asks for next, you've already got a partner who can deliver it.

Your clients stay yours

A mutual NDA on every engagement and a firm no-poaching promise. We never market to your clients or go around you - your relationship is safe with us.

Pre-sales support on tap

Bring us into sales calls, have us sanity-check an idea or get a scope and proposal written for you - in your branding if you like. It's free, and it helps you win the work.

Add AI to your offering overnight

Your clients are asking about AI. Offer practical AI agents, automation and integrations under your banner without hiring a single developer.

How it works

Five steps from intro to payday

No paperwork, no lock-in and no surprises. Here's exactly what happens once you put us in touch, and what you get out of each stage.

Step 1 · Introduce

Put us in touch - job done.

A quick email cc or a phone intro is all it takes.

No paperwork
, no briefing docs and no formalised hand-off process. Just tell us whether it's a Referral or a Secret Squirrel job and we'll take it from there.

If you have more info, we welcome it - but we're no strangers to a handoff along the lines of "I just found a OneDrive folder with 200 operational spreadsheets in it - please make it go away."  We'll take it from there!

  • A mutual NDA in place before any client details change hands
  • A response to your client within one business day
  • Your choice of model: Referral or Secret Squirrel (white label)

Step 2 · Scope

We scope it - under our name or yours

We run discovery with your client, work out what will actually move the needle and turn it into a plain-English scope. Join the calls or leave it to us. On Secret Squirrel jobs, we show up as part of your team.

  • A written scope and milestone-based proposal - in your branding if you like
  • Technical pre-sales support for your own sales conversations
  • Honest advice if something off-the-shelf would do the job

Step 3 · Build

We build it, you stay in the loop

Our team designs and builds the solution - keeping you as in or out of the loop as you want to be.  You can join every weekly progress meeting, or we can send you milestone update summaries - it's up to you!

  • A dedicated project manager as your single point of contact
  • Progress updates as often (or as rarely) as you want them
  • No handoffs - and we never go around you to your client

Step 4 · Launch & support

We launch it, then we look after it

We deploy, hand over the documentation and train the team. After launch, Team Squirrel sticks around with hosting, maintenance and support plans - keeping your client happy and the relationship growing.

  • Launch-day support so everything goes smoothly
  • Ongoing security updates and a roadmap for what comes next
  • Priority support for your client - or for you, on white-label jobs

Step 5 · Get paid

You get paid - and keep getting paid

Referral partners earn commission at every stage, typically paid within 7 days of your client paying us. Secret Squirrel partners are billed at wholesale rates and set their own price.

  • Scoping, project and ongoing commissions - no minimums, no clawbacks
  • Recurring income for as long as your client stays on a support plan
  • Wholesale rates on white-label work - your margin, your call

How We Engage Partners

Referral

Make the introduction — we'll take it from there and make sure you look good for the referral.

We share the nuts.
Our partner program rewards you for every client you bring into the tree:
  • Scoping commission — get paid upfront as soon as your referral agrees to a scoping engagement
  • Project commission — earn a trailing commission for the full life of the project
  • Ongoing commission — keep earning for as long as they're on a maintenance plan or assigned team

  • Your involvement, your call:
    Stay as close to the project as you like, or hand it off entirely. We're happy either way — you'll always be kept in the loop.

    Secret Squirrel

    We work entirely behind the scenes as your in-house development team.  Think of Secret Squirrel more as a traditional "White Label" engagement.

    Your customers deal with you directly — they'll never know we're the secret squirrels powering the operation.  You bring the client relationship and industry knowledge; we bring the development muscle. Together, we deliver something neither of us could pull off quite as well alone.

    Commercially, it's simple: we bill you at wholesale rates, you set your own pricing and bill your customer. Your margin, your call.
