FAQ
Pricing questions, answered straight
What is the hourly consulting rate and minimum?
Hourly consulting is $175/hour with a 3-hour minimum ($525). Scope and terms are agreed in writing before work begins.
Why do you publish prices when most consultants will not?
Because hiding the number is a sales tactic, not a service. Owners deserve to know whether an engagement is in range before they spend a call finding out. Where work is genuinely custom, such as project finance or a fractional COO retainer, we fix the price on the intro call instead, before any commitment.
How do the payment terms work?
Fixed-price projects from $2,500 to $9,500 are paid in three equal installments. Projects above $9,500 are 50% to start and 50% on delivery. The Fractional CMO seat is $3,000 per month with 24 hours included and a 3-month minimum, then monthly with 30 days notice. Terms are stated in your written agreement before work begins. Billing questions: billing@colemanma.com.
How quickly can you start?
We deliberately take on a limited number of new engagements each month so a senior advisor stays on every account. Most work kicks off within a few business days of a signed scope. If you have a hard deadline, tell us on the call and we will be straight about whether we can hit it.
Are there hidden fees or overruns?
No. Fixed-price work is fixed: the price agreed before we start is the price. Your written agreement is the controlling document.
What determines which tier I need?
The size of the decision. A plan for a $500K SBA loan needs different depth than one for a priced venture round. The intro call exists to match the engagement to the decision, and we will tell you honestly when the smaller tier is enough.
What if my budget is smaller than this?
There are honest options below the firm book, including a working session and an essential plan for smaller raises, plus free templates you can use today. Start with the 30-minute call and we will point you to the right one. There is no benefit to overbuying.
