Business Fee to Associates
The level of the business fee, which is added to the consultant’s rate when invoices are prepared for the client, is determined by the degree of support Gateway provides to the associate. It can vary from project to project, but it is always set with the full knowledge and agreement of the associate. The fee is generally lower than the industry standard for consulting companies, and considerably lower than the percentage added by larger practices.
The fee provides associates with:
• A community of peers
• Marketing support
• Practical help and advice throughout the delivery of service
• A legal and administrative framework including insurance, invoicing, account collection, GST submission, and record keeping
