Referral programmeBeyond HNGT Ltd, trading as HG Studio

Programme terms

Version 2026-10-11 Effective 11 October 2026 Governing law England & Wales

In short

Introduce a real business and get its 15-minute call with Henry booked; that registers it to you. You earn a share of every client payment within 24 hours of it clearing, never more than 50% of any one payment, in pounds. The full rules are below; the programme page has worked examples.

1. About these terms

1.1
The referral and agent programme (the “programme”) is run by Beyond HNGT Ltd, trading as HG Studio, a company registered in England & Wales (company no. 12787432) whose registered office is at 62 Thames Street, Sunbury-on-Thames, TW16 6AF (“we”, “us”). Our trading address is Greenside House, 50 Station Rd, London N22 7DE.
1.2
These terms apply to everyone who joins: a referrer introduces businesses; an agent is a partner we have approved to run client meetings themselves (clause 12). Both are “partners”. A “client” is a business you introduce, and the “project fee” is the one-off fee for a project, excluding VAT.
1.3
You accept these terms when you join. This is version 2026-10-11. Each introduction you make records the version in force at the time.
1.4
Questions about these terms go to Henry Goff at henry@hg.studio.

2. Who can join

2.1
You must be at least 18 and able to enter a binding agreement. You can be based anywhere, except in a country under comprehensive sanctions (Russia, Belarus, Iran, North Korea, Syria and Cuba).
2.2
To join you give us your real name, your email address, the country you’re based in, one public profile link (LinkedIn, a website, or a business social page) and a line on how you would find businesses to introduce, so we know who we are paying. We check the link opens, and an AI model reads it with your answers to flag possible spam or impersonation for Henry, when you first confirm your email and whenever you change the link. If it rates the risk as high, your account is paused (no introductions, payout-detail changes or agent application) until Henry has reviewed it, normally within two working days; Henry makes the decision, never the AI. We may also ask you to confirm a mobile number with a code sent by text or WhatsApp before your first introduction or payout. Keep these details up to date in your portal.
2.3
One account per person. An account is personal and can’t be transferred or shared.
2.4
We may decline an application to join, or close an account, under clauses 14 and 16.

3. What counts as a referral

3.1
An introduction must be of a real business with an established, public presence: a website, a public business record such as Companies House, or an active business social profile, or for a brand-new business the founder’s public profile. Each introduction needs at least one public link.
3.2
Contact details alone are not a referral. An introduction is registered to a referrer only when the client books the 15-minute introductory call with Henry, using the booking link from your portal. An introduction with no call booked within 14 days lapses.
3.3
For an agent, an introduction made through the agent route is registered when the agent logs their own meeting with the client in the portal (clause 12).
3.4
The first valid introduction wins. If a business has already been introduced and that introduction is still live (work has started, or its window in clause 3.5 hasn’t ended, even if the client first said no), we will tell you so without saying by whom, and yours won’t be registered.
3.5
A registered introduction earns a reward if work on a project starts (the client’s first payment reaches us) within 12 months of the introductory call (or, on the agent route, the logged meeting). If no work has started by then, the introduction lapses. We may choose to honour it anyway.
3.6
We usually work with clients based in:
- United Kingdom, Crown Dependencies & Gibraltar: United Kingdom, Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man and Gibraltar
- European Economic Area: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway
- Rest of Europe: Switzerland, Monaco, Andorra, San Marino and Turkey
- Americas: United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay
- Asia-Pacific: Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, China (mainland), Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Brunei and India
- Middle East: Israel, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman
- Africa: South Africa
A client anywhere else is considered on application: we review the scope first, and a booking link is issued only if we approve it. We never accept a client in a sanctioned country (clause 14).
3.7
We decide whether to take on any client, and nothing in these terms obliges us to accept an introduction or to agree a project.
3.8
We may decline an introduction of a business that is already our client, or that is already talking to us about the same work. If we do, we will tell you so, without sharing the details.

4. Rewards

4.1
Referrers earn a fixed fee per project: £250 on a project fee under £2,000; £500 on a project fee £2,000 and over.
4.2
Agents, on introductions made on the agent route (clause 12.6), earn the same fixed fees on a project fee under £5,000. From £5,000 the reward is a percentage of the whole project fee, 10% at £5,000, rising evenly to 25% at £10,000 (so a £7,500 project earns 17.5%, or £1,312.50); from £10,000 it is 25%. An introduction an agent hands to the introductory call with Henry instead earns the referrer fee in clause 4.1.
4.3
Rewards are calculated on the project fee excluding VAT, as finally agreed with the client. Your reward is set by your tier and these terms as they stood when you made the introduction; becoming an agent later does not change introductions you had already made.

5. When and how we pay

5.1
You are paid as we are paid. Each client payment on a registered introduction (a deposit, a milestone or payment in full) earns its share of your reward, and we pay that share within 24 hours of the client payment clearing in our account.
5.2
For a fixed fee, each client payment pays whatever of the fee is still unpaid. For a percentage, each client payment earns that percentage of the payment.
5.3
No single payout is more than 50% of the client payment it comes from. Anything this holds back is paid from the client’s next payment. If the client makes no further payment, nothing further is due.
5.4
We pay by UK bank transfer (Faster Payments or BACS to a UK account), IBAN transfer (SEPA or SWIFT to an IBAN account worldwide), Revolut (to your Revtag or Revolut phone number) or Wise (to your Wise email or Wisetag), always in pounds sterling. We pay our own sending fees; any fee your bank or provider charges to receive or convert the payment is yours.
5.5
We can only pay once your payout details are in your portal. Anything due is held for you until they are. A payment made to the details in your portal at the time counts as paid, so keep them correct.
5.6
Every payout is itemised in your portal against the client payment it came from, by its stage and date. A referrer sees their own fee, not the client’s price or payment amounts; an agent also sees the amounts on their own agent-route projects.

6. Refunds and chargebacks

6.1
If we refund a client payment, or a client payment is reversed or charged back, the share of it credited to you is deducted from your next payout (and later payouts, if one isn’t enough).
6.2
We never ask you to pay money back to us, except where an introduction or a payment involved fraud.

7. Follow-on projects

7.1
Once work on the first project has started, every further project the same client signs with us earns a reward for as long as they remain our client: on the same tier you introduced them under, calculated on that project’s own fee under the reward table in force when you introduced them, and paid in the same way. A client you introduced stays yours; nobody else can be credited with them.

8. What doesn't earn a reward

8.1
Only one-off project fees are commissionable. Hosting, care plans and other monthly services are not, and nor is VAT on any fee.

10. No self-referrals

10.1
You can’t earn a reward on a business you own or control, on your employer, or on a project for yourself. If you would like to work with us yourself, book a call with Henry directly.

11. How you represent us

11.1
Be honest about who you are and about your relationship with us.
11.2
No cold spam, bought or scraped lists, or messages that break anti-spam, marketing or data protection law. Every introduction should come from a real relationship or conversation.
11.3
Don’t make claims about our work, prices, timescales or results beyond what is published on hg.studio or agreed in writing by Henry, and never guarantee an outcome.
11.4
Don’t present yourself as our employee, or use our name in a way that suggests you are HG Studio. Only an approved agent may describe themselves as an agent of HG Studio (clause 12).

12. Agents

12.1
The agent tier is by application from your portal. An application needs at least two public links from your website, LinkedIn, GitHub or Facebook (a business listing may be added), together with who you are, your sales or business experience, the regions and sectors you would cover, how you would find clients, and acceptance of the code of conduct in clause 12.3.
12.2
We may use an AI model to read the links you give us and produce an advisory assessment for Henry. The AI never decides: Henry decides every application himself, and we tell you the outcome by email.
12.3
Code of conduct. An agent may hold meetings with clients and agree the scope of work. An agent must not agree or promise a price, a discount or a delivery date beyond the ranges in our published price list; must tell every client that they are an independent agent paid commission by HG Studio; must not send cold spam or use bought lists; must not guarantee results; must use the scope agreement template in the portal; must not sign anything on our behalf; and must keep client information confidential.
12.4
An agent is an independent contractor, not our employee, worker, partner or joint venturer. You have no authority to bind us, to agree a price or to accept work on our behalf. Only a scope agreement priced by Henry and signed by the client binds us.
12.5
An approved agent receives an agent code and a public verification page. You may describe yourself as an agent of HG Studio, with your code, only while your agent status is active.
12.6
On the agent route you register an introduction by logging your meeting (its date and notes) in the portal, then draft the scope agreement there for Henry to price and send.
12.7
We may suspend agent status for a breach of this clause. While it is suspended, your verification page says you are not an active agent. Commission on business won by breaking the code of conduct in clause 12.3 isn’t payable.

13. Tax

13.1
You are responsible for declaring and paying any tax, national insurance or social security due on your rewards, wherever you are based. We pay rewards without deducting tax unless the law requires us to.
13.2
If you are registered for VAT or a similar tax, tell us before your first payout so we can agree how it is handled.
13.3
Your portal itemises every payment, and we will give you a statement of everything we have paid you on request.

14. Sanctions, fraud and our right to refuse

14.1
We cannot work with partners or clients in Russia, Belarus, Iran, North Korea, Syria and Cuba, or with anyone subject to UK, EU or US sanctions, and we refuse them at the start.
14.2
We may ask you to confirm your identity or your payout details before we pay you.
14.3
We may refuse any introduction, application or payout, and may hold a payment while we look into it, where we reasonably suspect fraud, money laundering, a sanctions breach or a serious breach of these terms. We will tell you why, unless the law prevents us.

15. Your data

15.1
Beyond HNGT Ltd is the controller of the personal data the programme uses, registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (registration ZC087233). Our privacy notice explains your rights.
15.2
We hold your account details (name, email, country, company, phone and profile link), your line on how you would find businesses and the result of the sign-up check in clause 2.2, the introductions you make (including the client contact details you give us), records of your sign-ins and of changes to your account, your payouts and, if you apply to be an agent, your application and its assessment.
15.3
Sign-in codes and links are stored only in hashed form. Payout details are encrypted before they are stored; your portal shows only a masked hint, and they are decrypted only when needed to make a payment.
15.4
We keep financial records for at least six years, as UK law requires, and other programme data only for as long as the programme needs it.

16. Suspension and leaving

16.1
You can leave at any time by emailing henry@hg.studio.
16.2
We may suspend or close an account for a breach of these terms or where clause 14 applies. A suspended account can’t sign in or make introductions.
16.3
If you leave, or we close your account for any reason other than fraud or a serious breach, we still pay your share of client payments on introductions registered before then, under these terms.

17. Changes to these terms

17.1
We may change the programme or these terms. We will email you before a change takes effect, and publish the new version here with a new version number.
17.2
Changes never apply backwards: an introduction keeps the reward and the terms version it was made under. Making an introduction after a change takes effect means accepting the new version.

18. Governing law

18.1
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction over any dispute about them.
