Pricing
Pricing & Engagement Model
Every engagement is scoped to the business in front of us, so we do not publish fixed price lists. What we do publish is exactly how an engagement is priced, agreed and delivered, so there are no surprises.
How an Engagement Is Priced
- Step 1
Introductory call
A short, no-cost conversation to understand your situation and decide whether we are the right fit. No charge, no obligation.
- Step 2
Framework
Where there is a fit, we set out the problem as we understand it, the approach we would take, and what success would look like.
- Step 3
Proposal & scope
A written proposal defining deliverables, timeline, the people involved, the base fee, and the targets that would trigger any performance fee.
- Step 4
Statement of work
Once agreed, a signed SOW or contract fixes the scope, the payment schedule and the terms before any work begins.
Engagement Structures
Project engagement
Defined work in a Statement of Work (SOW) with a fixed scope and deliverables. A fixed base fee for the defined work, plus a performance fee earned only if your business beats the targets agreed up front.
Ongoing advisory
Priced per month, with the option to add multi-month term agreements. No performance fee.
Fractional executive
Hands-on operational involvement for a set number of days per month, where a business needs senior capacity it cannot yet hire full time. No performance fee.
How Our Fees Work
These terms apply to Project engagements. Ongoing advisory and Fractional executive engagements have no performance fee.
Fixed base fee
A fixed fee for the defined work. Startups pay a smaller base fee.
Performance fee
Paid only when your business exceeds agreed targets, such as revenue or profit above an adjusted starting point. If targets are not exceeded, you pay only the base fee.
Targets set in writing
Before work begins, we agree on a few measurable numbers, such as monthly sales, profit, or number of customers, and write down where you are today. The performance fee is based only on improvement above that starting point. Both sides see the same numbers.
Aligned with your results
Our income rises only when yours does. We cannot guarantee results, because you make the decisions and do the work. What we do guarantee is that the larger part of our earnings comes only when your business exceeds the targets we agree on together.
Good to Know
- All Casa Vicaris fees are quoted and invoiced in USD, and can be fixed to local currency in the SOW.
- Partner fees are separate. Where a strategic or referral partner delivers licensed work — legal, tax, accounting, financing — they contract with you directly and set their own fees and terms. We can help manage that relationship and cross-border invoicing.
- Cancellation and refund terms for any engagement are governed by your signed SOW or contract, summarised in our Refund Policy.
