Pricing questions

Do you charge travel expenses on top?

For clients within a 90-minute drive of Castle Runteley, travel is included. Beyond that radius we add actual rail or mileage costs at HMRC approved rates. We never mark up travel or charge for travel time.

Can we upgrade from Diagnostic to the Growth programme?

Yes. If you start with a Diagnostic and decide within 60 days to move to the Growth programme, we credit the full Diagnostic fee against the Growth price. That means you pay only the £9,700 difference.

What payment methods do you accept?

Bank transfer (BACS or Faster Payments) is our standard method. We can also accept payment via company credit card for the Diagnostic package. Invoices are issued at the start of each phase, with 14-day payment terms.

Is VAT included in the prices shown?

Prices on this page are shown exclusive of VAT. VAT at the prevailing UK rate (currently 20%) will be added to invoices. If your business is VAT-registered, you can reclaim this as normal.

What if we need something outside these packages?

We regularly scope custom engagements. Recent examples include a standalone supply-chain audit (£7,200, four weeks) and an interim finance-director placement (day rate of £850). Contact us with a brief description of what you need and we will send a proposal within two working days.
