Our fees rather depend on each individual task but in any case we will be extremely transparent about what costs using  our services will incur and we will always  do our utmost to keep our charges as low as possible.

An Initial consultation is always free of charge.

After this we generally charge in 2 separate ways

This form of payment provides for a one-time agreement depending on the scope of services. It helps in business registration, framing of treaties, business plans or for a consultation on different issues. tax or project outsourcing

Outsourcing:
For this we recommend that all clients initially appoint us on a retainer basis equal to just one advisory working day monthly for 12 months. Naturally this does not mean that we only work 8 hours but the client only pays for that time each month. This is usually sufficient to deal with all but the most difficult challenges and before starting on your project we will discuss fully with you the expected milestones.

Due to the number of requests we receive for inspection and due diligence visits however we are not able to waive the "actual expenses" for inspection visits although we may waive the standard charge out rate for due diligence visits. Before appointing us please be sure to discuss any costs with us to avoid misunderstandings.
