A work of quality has the right ingredients between a well defined Scope planned to sufficiently Time supported by an adequately Budget. It is always difficult to judge how much time a project will take to meet a desired set of criteria. Thus how much should you invest? AS A REFERENCE, WE HAVE PROVIDED A FEW EXAMPLES: Industry, Market and Competitor Study: (app. 40-80 hrs) Partner search: (app. 80-120 hrs) If an entire market study and market entry process is to be undertaken we will make a proposal, with a max and minimum hours estimate based on past similar projects as rule of thumb.
Local Representation: (normally about 4 hrs daily for 3-6 months) Local representation means we temporarily fill your shoes and represent you as your new local office in either Europe or North America depending on which way you are migrating. This includes answering phone calls, handling e-mails & post plus attending local meetings on your behalf. The advantage of a local office signals you are serious about being in the new country, and saves you setting up an entire office and hiring new staff, thus minimizing overheads and risk. Our services are retainable for: $CAD 140/hour - EUR 95/hour * ^ ° Any out of pocket expenses that are above $20 will be approved in advance. ^ We usually require 30% of the proposed project cost to be paid up front as a guarantee before commencing work, and we do not cover any cost associated with bank transfers. ° Invoices must be paid within 10 working days of issued invoice date, or a daily compounded penalty rate of 10% applies.
