Transparent Pricing

Service 06

Pricing You Can Understand

Many sourcing companies hide their margins and add fees along the way. We work differently. Before we start, you receive a written proposal that explains exactly how we charge, what the fee covers, and what it doesn't. If anything changes mid-project, you are told before it affects your budget — never after.

Always Included

What Every Quote Includes

Written Proposal

Every engagement starts with a written proposal: scope, fee, deliverables, and timeline. No verbal handshake deals — everything in writing.

No Hidden Fees

Third-party costs — travel, testing, certifications, agent fees — are either included or itemized in advance. We never add surprise charges.

Clear Deliverables

You know what you are paying for: reports, inspections, follow-ups, translations. If a deliverable isn't defined, it isn't billed.

Change Notice

If a project's scope changes, we tell you before the cost changes. You always approve adjustments before they apply.

FAQ

Pricing Questions

Do you charge for the first consultation?

No. The initial discussion to understand your needs and explain how we work is free. You only receive a paid proposal if you decide to proceed.

Is there a fee to visit factories with you?

Factory visits are part of our sourcing and interpretation services and are covered by the agreed fee structure. Only travel expenses for dedicated, out-of-scope inspections are charged — and always with your prior approval.

Do you add commission on top of supplier prices?

No. Our fees are agreed upfront and written in the proposal. You see the real supplier prices, and we never silently inflate them with hidden commissions.

Can pricing change mid-project?

Only if the scope changes — for example, additional products or services you request after the project has started. In that case we explain the impact and get your approval before anything changes.
