Common questions about pricing
If your question isn't answered here, call us on +44 7779 026486 or email [email protected].
Hourly billing creates a perverse incentive: the longer a project takes, the more the consultant earns. We prefer to agree a fixed scope and price before work starts. If the project takes us fewer hours than expected, you still get the same deliverables. If it takes more, that's our problem, not yours.
It's a 30-minute conversation, usually over video. We ask about your business, what's working, what isn't, and what outcome you want from the engagement. After the call we send a one-page proposal with the recommended package, any adjustments to scope, and a start date. There's no charge for this call and no obligation to proceed.
Yes. If a Focused review reveals that you need a full Growth programme, we credit the £2,400 already paid toward the £7,500 fee. Likewise, Growth programme clients who want to continue with Ongoing advisory receive a discounted first month. We document any changes in a revised engagement letter before proceeding.
We do. About 40% of our clients are based elsewhere in the UK. Remote engagements run on the same schedule and produce the same deliverables. On-site workshops outside Scotland incur a travel supplement of £250 per visit to cover transport and accommodation.
For the Focused review, we invoice 100% on engagement sign-off. For the Growth programme, 50% upfront and 50% at the midpoint. Ongoing advisory is invoiced monthly in advance. All invoices carry 14-day payment terms. We accept bank transfer and major credit cards.
All prices shown are exclusive of VAT. VAT at the prevailing UK rate (currently 20%) will be added to your invoice. If your business is VAT-registered, you can reclaim this as input tax in the normal way.
