Standard rates Consulting, advisory and delivery

Standard day rates for consulting, advisory and hands-on delivery provide a starting point and are not a quote.

Work is usually arranged as single days, a block of days to draw down, or a regular monthly commitment.

Enterprise

For corporates, investors and VC-backed organisations that need a small number of days of senior consultancy or hands-on work.

Typical uses include strategy, due diligence, product and market advice, and short, focused delivery support.

• Occasional - £1,500 per day. Ad hoc days, short notice, or a handful of days with no ongoing commitment.
• Committed - £1,000 per day. A reserved block of days, drawn down over an agreed period.

Standard business

For product and project work with SME’s.

• £750 per day

VAT not applicable (at present).

Travel and other expenses are charged as incurred unless agreed otherwise.

Other arrangements

The published day rates are the starting point for negotiation, and are subject to review and updates without notice.

A cash base rate is usually payable as work is done. Other structures are a way of agreeing a lower base, or deferring payment, but will be at a higher rate overall.

Depending on the circumstances, that may include:

• Blended rates. A mix of rates across advisory and delivery, or a lower cash rate in return for a longer commitment.
• Payment in advance. A lower rate when an upfront payment is made for a block of time that is drawn down over a given period.
• Partial equity. A lower cash rate alongside diluted, vested shares or options. Subject to cap table, vesting and a written agreement.
• Deferred fees. A lower amount billed as work is done, with the balance held until a funding round,commercial success, or other agreed milestone date.
• Fixed-price scope. A defined piece of work for an agreed fee, rather than an open day-rate drawdown.

These are considered case by case. They are not a standing offer.
