Business Permit Application Support Fees
Understand the scope and cost of support before engaging us.

Assessments cover agreed documents and a written result. Documents, questions, persons, deliverables and deadlines are fixed in the quotation. New research quotations normally use up to 2 hours of actual work as the base scope, with agreed institutions, inquiry counts and a time cap. Exceeding the scope or cap requires an agreed revised quotation. Waiting for replies is not billed as working time.

Government fees, postage and other expenses are separate. Work already included in a contract is not charged twice.

If formal engagement for the same matter is agreed within 30 days after consultation, one base consultation fee is credited toward the application fee. Assessments, research, expenses and payment fees are not automatically credited. The existing 5% Stripe fee, discounts and payment conditions remain unchanged.
