Business documentation services
We offer a limited menu of editorial services structured to meet the needs of sole proprietors and micro-business owners seeking capital and operational partners.
Editorial Service Fees
Fees are charged by the hour. Job hours are estimated in the order form by document type and length, plus the number and type of special elements included, such as images, tables, charts, and illustrations.
- Service Fee. The base fee assumes that the client has provided all the information and business research required for us to complete the assignment at the Level of Service requested (Review & Comment, Edit, or Write).
- Research Fee. If the client does not have the required source material for a document, they can request Research services. The exact number of hours required for the job are estimated in the Order Form, confirmed or amended in the Order Review Meeting, and approved by the client prior to commencement of services.
- Inclusions. We charge a flat fee for the placement of images, illustrations, charts and other graphics provided by the client. (We do not offer custom graphic design services but will refer graphic designers on request).
- Printing Services. We deliver documents in printer-ready formats. If requested, we will refer clients to a printing service and oversee that work. Those fees, including any binding and shipping fees, are charged to the client directly by the printer.
- Expedited Service. We will do our best to accommodate requests for expedited service but cannot guarantee it. If selected, the fee for expedited service will appear in the original order estimate and will be confirmed or removed during the Order Review meeting.
Transcription Service Fees
Audio Transcriptions are charged by the audio minute (length of audio file, rounded up), with a 5-minute minimum. Additional fees are charged when 1) there are more than two speakers, 2) where an Interpreter is present, 3) where recording quality is poor, and 4) when editing for publication is selected, and 5) where expedited services are required.
