How it works
Fixed-fee onboarding, then custom retainers
Most clients start with a one-off onboarding package so the foundations are in place, then move onto a monthly retainer for advice, updates and oversight.
- 01
Introductory call
Thirty minutes, no charge. You tell us where you are and what is coming: registration, inspection, growth or a problem that needs solving now.
- 02
Proposal and fixed fee
A written proposal setting out deliverables, timeframe and a fixed price. You know the cost before anything starts.
- 03
Onboarding package
Gap analysis, policies, HR pack and inspection readiness, delivered over an agreed number of weeks with revision rounds built in.
- 04
Monthly retainer
Ongoing advisory hours, legislation alerts and scheduled check-ins. No minimum term: leave any time with one month’s notice.
Fees
Priced upfront, not by surprise
Every engagement is quoted before it begins. The right level depends on the size of your service and what you already have in place.
Onboarding package
One-off fixed fee. Three levels, from essential foundations through to full inspection readiness.
Monthly retainer
Advisory hours, legislation alerts and annual policy review. No minimum term, one month’s notice.
Project & ad hoc work
Single policies, investigations, restructures or one-off reviews, quoted before work starts.
No lock-in contracts
No long-term obligations
You are not tied into a lengthy contract.
Leave any time
End your retainer whenever you choose, with one month’s notice.
Easy to get out of
Our terms are simple, so stepping away is straightforward if your needs change.
Not sure where your gaps are?
That is usually the right time to call. A short conversation will tell you whether you need a full onboarding package, a single piece of work, or nothing at all yet.
