For Real? Do I get all this?

We think so. We have experience doing this kind of research. Every business and every client is different, and therefore, each will have different priorities. We estimate we will spend about 80 hours on each client. We figure, however, that the research we do will apply to several clients. We can justify, therefore, spending additional time researching some detailed areas of business, law or tax.

What you do not get

• No preparation of legal documents or contracts*
• No representation of ongoing litigation*
• No more than a reasonable 80 hours of hard work (unless we really get into the subject and then the client benefits from our personal zeal)
• No confusing unexplained legalese
• No hidden costs

*These services can be provided for an additional charge. Our hourly fee is $150.00, though our business analysis clients may qualify for a discount on these services.
