Fees
We do not have a set basis for charging but we do not charge on a time basis. Our charges are tailored to suit the requirements and risk level of each project.
We always agree the basis of our charging in writing before proceeding with a proposal so that there can be no misunderstanding.
Our fee normally comprises two elements:
A modest ‘no-go’ fee or retainer. This is payable even if the transaction does not proceed. It is there to demonstrate commitment on both sides.
A success fee. This ensures that we only proceed with a project where we think the chances of success are good. It also tells you that we mean business.
Something for Nothing
The first meeting is normally free of charge. Its purpose is for us to see whether we want to work together. We therefore expect to explore your ideas and proposals very thoroughly. You can expect to leave the meeting with a clear idea of what we can or cannot do for you, what you will need to carry out the project and what it will cost you.
What happens next is up to you. In any event you are unlikely to have wasted your time. |
