Rates & Fees
Rates and fees are tailored to you and your business.
Hourly Rate
HOURLY RATE OF £35.00 PER HOUR
Hourly rates are best used when the work to be done is hard to quantify, or if you want the flexibility of the hourly rate. Check out how much can be done in an hour using the Time Guide.
- We discuss the task, what the goal is, the timescale and deadlines.
- If possible, an estimate of how long the task will take will be provided.
- When the task is being carried out, the time spent is recorded on a time management tool.
- Work is completed in line with the agreement. If hours may exceed your budget or agreement you will be contacted in advance.
Please note that hourly rates should not be used if you need to guarantee availability on a weekly or monthly basis, or if you have a need for regular or ongoing support. Check out the retainer fees as an alternative.
Retainer Fees
HOW DOES A RETAINER WORK?
Retainer agreements work best if you require a guaranteed amount of time spent supporting your business, whether it be on a weekly or monthly basis.
- Decide how many hours you require a month or a week.
- If you are unsure of how many hours you require we can start with a two-week trial to assess this.
- Either decide on set tasks to be carried out each month or send tasks as and when it suits you, throughout the course of the month or the week.
- Work is completed in line with the agreement.
- You will be given updates during the month so that you are up to date with the retained hours used.
- If you need to reduce or increase the hours you just need to give a months notice.
