Partner with a studio that builds what your clients ask for

Accounting firms, IT firms, web studios, brokers and consultants: when a client needs software you do not build, send them to us. We never sell them your service line.

How a referral works

Five steps. You are told at each one.

  1. 01

    You register it

    Your name, the business, what they need and a note that they agreed to the introduction. About a minute.

  2. 02

    We confirm

    Within a day we tell you whether the business is new to us.

  3. 03

    We call them

    A scoping call by phone or video, free for the client.

  4. 04

    Written quote

    A fixed price and a ship date in writing. The client contracts with Benchford.

  5. 05

    You hear back

    A short note at each stage, and a check-in at day 90.

What you can hand to a client

A client needs three things to say yes to an introduction. A one-page summary of our published prices. A three-sentence note you can send as it is. A link to the demo portal, which runs on demo data.

We never sell your clients your service line. We never contact your other clients. We never go around you on a lead you registered.

Three ways to work with us

Terms are written down before the first introduction.

Referral fee

For IT firms, web studios and operations consultants.

  • A share of the build revenue we collect from your client
  • Paid on money we have collected, not on quotes
  • Written terms and a W-9 before the first payment

White-label

For web studios that sell under their own name. Scoped case by case.

  • We build behind you to a fixed scope
  • Your logo and sender domain on what clients see
  • Starts with a paid pilot on one small item

Fee-free

For accounting firms, bookkeepers, brokers and others who should not take referral fees.

  • A free review of a client's subscriptions and spreadsheets
  • Introductions back to you when a client needs your services
  • A free build-versus-buy session for your clients or members
