Since every project is different and every job has a specific budget attached to the overall scope of work it is hard to outline my rates, because no project is ever the same. Depending on the project I can work on an hourly basis, a daily basis, project basis, or on a retainer. My rates are always negotiable!
Hourly -
Clients who use my services on an hourly basis will be charged anywhere from $20.00 – $45.00 per hour.
Daily -
Often times I will have a company or person come to me that needs my services for only a day or two. Depending on the circumstances my rates vary. There are many variables such as, do I need to work on the premises, do I have to commute, will it be a full 8-hour day, or just a few hours.
If required to work on your premise my rate is approximately $200 – $400 a day.
Project -
Because the word “Project” can mean multiple different things please contact me to discuss the scope of work to be performed. A word-processing project is completely different than an event management project and this prevents Alpine Small Business Solutions, LLC, from being able to quote a straight forward price at this time. A project can range from 1 day to several months, even a year depending on what the details of the “Project” are. Please contact me to discuss your exact needs.
Retainer -
Retainer clients are billed monthly for a set number of hours each month. I require a minimum of 5 hours per month for retainer clients. Unused time does not roll over to the next month. Retainer clients will appreciate the guaranteed availability built into the monthly retainer. If the total retained time exceeds the number of retainer hours, I will bill the client for additional working time at the rate of $2 an hour above the quoted hourly rate.
Billable Time -
If a client has a question about an invoice or would like to check the status of the amount of time spent on a particular project, he or she can ask Alpine Small Business Solutions, LLC for a detailed time report.
Additional Expenses -
If there are any expenses specific to a client’s business (postage, letterhead, stationary, office supplies specific to a client’s needs, etc), those expenses will be billed to the client at actual cost. All client specific expenses will be accompanied by an expense invoice and copies of the receipt. Normal daily office supplies and equipment are the responsibility of Alpine Small Business Solutions.
Payment Policies -
A detailed invoice will be sent to you at the end of the month. Invoices are due upon receipt. If you require special processing terms please let me know immediately to avoid delay in invoice and payment processing. I accept, checks, cash, Paypal forms of payment.
