Flat Rate Projects & Pricing

Sometimes getting in and out fast is all that matters. Some consultants want to build you an aircraft carrier when all you need today is a little speedboat and some vision and design work for the future. The projects listed below can be done quickly without risk of growing into a huge ongoing expense. Many of these are projects are best done by an experienced CEO, because they span several disciplines, and a large team of experts will be much too expensive and time consuming to corral, educate and coordinate.

Most business plan writers and consultants just write, they do not have the experience to help actually validate, design and improve your business to be successful. There are many skills and disciplines, and also many interrelated dependencies in the development of any company's business plan and vision (See article: The 11 Major Components of a Successful Vision). In other words "writing" a business plan is one thing, "designing" it and "tuning the business model" so that it can really work in the real world is an entirely different story that requires lots of real world operations experience running companies.

Flat rates align the client's goals with the consultant's to get to the best solution cost effectively and quickly. Paying by the hour creates a conflict of interest for the consultant and the desire to do a perfect job, sometimes at many times the cost, instead of a practical job based on the company's stage, exposure and other situational factors. Whenever possible C-Level Enterprises will quote a flat rate for a well defined project.
