Vantage
Introductions
Vantage helps established founders, private principals, premium businesses and specialist providers find and approach a relevant commercial counterparty for a defined requirement.
We clarify the brief, assess whether a credible route exists and introduce only when both parties agree. Identities are shared only with permission, and any referral relationship is disclosed.Not more contacts. Better reasons to speak.
The right introduction.
For a clear reason.
Vantage considers introduction requests from founders, business owners, property principals, private clients, premium brands and selected commercial providers.
We clarify the requirement, consider whether a credible commercial fit may exist and approach potential counterparts without automatically revealing identities. An introduction proceeds only where there is mutual relevance and mutual permission.

The Vantage Introduction Process
Purpose first.
Permission always.
Define
You explain the objective, desired counterpart, geography, commercial capacity, timeframe and mutual value.
Assess
Vantage reviews the information supplied, may request supporting evidence and considers whether the stated authority, readiness, relevance and timing appear credible. This is not professional due diligence.
Confirm
Both parties receive enough context to decide whether they want the introduction.
Introduce
Where interest is mutual, Vantage makes a contextual introduction and records the outcome.
FOUNDER-LED BY INA GUTOWSKAEvery brief is personally reviewed by Ina. Vantage was created to formalise carefully considered commercial introductions across her developing business, property and professional network.Where Vantage does not have an established route, this is stated clearly and a separately scoped Private Search may be considered. Payment never guarantees acceptance, access or an introduction.
Scope and operating standards
Clear standards.
Honest boundaries.
Founders, business owners, property principals, private clients, premium brands and senior decision-makers with a defined commercial requirement and evidence of readiness—and selected providers with relevant evidence and capacity. Investment and fundraising introductions are not offered through this website.
Private brief review, initial information and publicly verifiable credibility checks where appropriate, relevance assessment, permission-based matching, a contextual introduction where both sides agree, and one outcome follow-up. These checks are preliminary and are not identity verification or professional due diligence.
Contact lists, paid access to named individuals, fixed lead volumes, guaranteed introductions, funding or sales, regulated advice, negotiation on another party’s behalf or full professional due diligence.
Vantage is London-based and accepts UK and cross-border briefs. We proceed only where a genuine relationship or credible route can be demonstrated; we do not imply access that has not been established.
- The requirement is clarified before a match is considered.
- The information supplied, stated authority, readiness and potential mutual value are reviewed before an introduction is considered.
- Both parties agree before contact details are shared.
- Referral interests, affiliate links and commercial fees are disclosed.
- Vantage does not guarantee suitability, a transaction or a commercial result.
Vantage may decline vague, unsupported, unsuitable or potentially regulated requests. Every party remains responsible for independent legal, financial and commercial due diligence.

Private enquiry

No obligation to proceed. Limited or anonymised information may be used to establish potential interest. Names, direct contact details and sensitive identifying information are shared only with permission.
How Vantage is paid: submitting a standard brief is free. Where Vantage introduces a client to a commercial provider, the provider may pay Vantage a referral fee agreed in writing before the introduction and disclosed to the prospective client. For standard, unregulated service engagements, the written agreement may set this at 2% of net service fees actually received by the provider, excluding VAT, taxes and third-party costs, and defines the payment period and treatment of cancellations, refunds and repeat work. Vantage does not accept transaction-based fees for funding, investments, property transactions or business acquisitions unless the activity has first been reviewed under an appropriate written legal and regulatory framework. No such service is offered through this website.
Private Search — £750: any applicable VAT is confirmed before payment. This is a defined research and outreach engagement where Vantage does not already have a suitable route. Private Search is currently limited to unregulated commercial counterpart and specialist-provider research. It does not include investor solicitation, fundraising, investment promotion, property brokerage, business-sale brokerage or regulated financial activity. Search criteria, scope and period are confirmed in writing before payment. The initial search is normally completed within 10 working days unless otherwise agreed and includes targeted counterpart research, discreet initial outreach and a written outcome update. The fee pays for the work—not access to a named person, a guaranteed introduction or a transaction. Any additional referral arrangement is disclosed and agreed separately before proceeding.
