How we work

Fees that follow the work.

We understand the realities of early-stage business, including cash-flow constraints and growth timing. Our engagement models are built to align what we charge with the value we deliver.

Engagement models

Four ways to work with us.

We will recommend the model that fits the brief, and we are open to blending them where it makes sense.

01 / Model

Success-Based Fees

For engagements where outcomes are measurable, we may charge on success. Common on R&D Tax Incentive claims, grant applications and non-dilutive funding, so our fee tracks the value delivered.

02 / Model

Advisory Retainers

For ongoing strategic support, monthly retainers scaled to the level of involvement required. Suited to clients needing regular input on capital, compliance or commercialisation.

03 / Model

Project-Based Pricing

For complex or multi-phase work, pricing built around clear deliverables and milestones. Suited to capital-raising mandates, feasibility reviews and commercialisation roadmaps.

04 / Model

Fixed Fees

For clearly defined scopes such as structuring, governance reviews or R&D eligibility assessments. Upfront cost certainty for engagements with a defined deliverable and timeline.

The engagement

Scope, structure,
deliver, transition.

A predictable path from first conversation to delivered outcome, with the scope agreed before you commit.

01

Scope

We map the brief, the constraints and the outcome that matters, and confirm we are the right fit before any commitment.

02

Structure

We agree the engagement model and put the right senior people against the work.

03

Deliver

We embed and execute to milestones, with clear reporting throughout.

04

Transition

We hand back to your team or stay on in a governance role. Capability is transferred, not hoarded.

Flexibility

Aligned to your stage and cash flow.

Where it is appropriate, we are open to flexible payment terms, phased fee structures and equity-based arrangements that align our incentives with long-term client success.

Term 01

Phased fees

Fees staged against milestones so cost tracks progress and the business is not front-loaded before value lands.

Term 02

Equity alignment

Where it suits both sides, part of our fee can be taken as equity, tying our return to the long-term outcome.

Term 03

Deferred terms

For funding and grant work, fees can be structured to fall due when the benefit is received.
