We provide high-quality growth strategies consulting services to our clients. While a majority of our clients are in growth mode and have allocated solid budgets for our services, and are capable of paying for our services under a traditional engagement model, some clients, particularly in the startup/early funding stage, need a bit more flexibility with options. For established companies, we have per project, retainer and package rates that are commensurate with the quality and sophistication of the services we provide. For select emerging/startup companies, we may offer non-traditional fee structures that accommodate the client’s circumstances and appropriately allocate the risk. Keep in mind that as each client’s needs are different, there is no one-size-fits-all package or range of packages.
