What Rodney said.
Some people feel bad about "getting favours" especially when it is for business reasons. If it makes you feel better, it probably will appear as a business expense in his/their accounting.
Also, they asked you for help - you didn't offer it. I would be much less likely to expect payment for something if I offered to help (without mentioning payment upfront). If I asked someone for help I would be much more likely to offer something in return (whether it be home cooked meal, bottle of nice wine, help with something else or cash).
If you always do "favours" for people (family, friends etc.) and never get paid in kind (either favours back or monetarily), eventually it will start to piss you off. I think you should see this as an unlooked for windfall and move on.
