    OUR FEES - Quality service at a reasonable price

We believe that most clients want a clear fee structure.

Basic fee
Our basic daily charge (from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2008) is
Euro 1500 per day for office-based work
.

To this we add Euro 200 per day when travelling on behalf of our client.
In addition the client will pay all agreed travelling expenses.
(if annual inflation exceeds 7.5% in 2008 the fee may be subject to revision)

Discounts (applicable to basic fee)
1 - 9 days work                 no discount
10 - 19 days work            10% discount
20 - 29 days work            15% discount
30 - 50 days work            20% discount
50 - 70 days work            25% discount
70 - 100 days work          30% discount
over 100 days work          35% discount
more than 150 days       we negotiate a package

Fixed price offers
Where your budget demands a fixed price deal to accommodate fees and travel expenditure we can put
together a fixed price package that will be all you pay. Such a deal implies that any extra work-load or travel
must be separately negotiated.

For our established clients
For a second or subsequent contract with us it is natural that we offer you a preferential fee structure.

Added value deals - shared risk - we can negotiate
When we negotiate deals in which we share an element of risk with our client we will expect some bonus scheme.
This might range from a percentage value of a deal, to shares or stock options in addition to cash payment.

Payment terms
These depend on the nature of the deal.For a 20 day undertaking we would typically say 1/3 on signing a contract,
1/3 on some suitable half-way
milestone and 1/3 on satisfactory conclusion of the project.  For a quick assignment
(say 1-5 days work)
we would be happy to accept payment on completion of work.  For a long-term project a suitable
payment
scheme (milestone-led or monthly in advance) can be devised. We expect payment within 30 days of
submitting an invoice
.
