Pricing FAQs
The questions that come up most often about cost and payment.
Is there a discount if I book multiple audits at once?
Not as a standard policy. If you operate multiple distinct sites and want all of them audited, we can scope a multi-site engagement. The price then could be negotiable.
Do you offer monthly retainers?
No. We don't sell monthly retainers; we don't think they make sense for most SMEs. If you want help implementing the audit findings, we scope that as a separate fixed-price project. See audit vs retainer for the full explanation.
How do payments work?
We agree the scope with you first. If you decide to go ahead, we send you an invoice payable by bank transfer and start work straight away. Once the report is finished and your payment has been received, we email you the PDF. We keep you posted on progress throughout. You can cancel before the report is delivered and you get your money back; after delivery the fee is non-refundable.
