Hourly rates
For work outside the fixed fees.
Some jobs can’t be priced in advance, such as a long negotiation or a dispute that keeps changing. For those we charge by the hour, give you an estimate first and won’t go over it without asking.
Chasing unpaid fees
How chasing is charged.
Our charge is 15% of each sum recovered, plus VAT, whether the debtor pays us or pays you. Other costs, such as statutory late payment compensation and court fees, are claimed from the debtor wherever your contract or the law allows it.
You sign up to these terms before we write to anyone, and we take nothing from money recovered without your signed authority.
How we work
From first email to finished document.
- 1
Quote
You send the document or explain the situation, and within one working day we send back a quote with a fee and a date.
- 2
Approve
You accept the quote and pay the fee or the first stage. Nothing starts, and nothing is charged, before that.
- 3
Draft
You get the draft on the agreed date, with a note explaining each change in plain English.
- 4
Finish
One round of changes is included. The final version comes back in Word and PDF, ready to send.
Fees
Paying us.
Are the fees really fixed?
Yes. The fee we quote is the fee you pay for the work we agreed. If the job grows, say the other side sends back forty pages of changes, we quote the extra before doing it. You can always say no.
When do you charge by the hour?
Only for work that can’t be scoped in advance, and only after giving you an estimate. You’ll get a breakdown of the time spent with every invoice.
When do I pay?
For most jobs, when you approve the quote and before we start. Bigger projects such as a roster template suite are split into stages. You can pay by bank transfer or card.
Is VAT charged?
Yes. AMS Administration Ltd, the company behind Roberts Crawford, is registered for VAT, so VAT at 20% is added to each fee. Every price here shows the fee before VAT and the total you pay.
Do you offer monthly arrangements?
Yes, for managers and bands with regular work. A monthly fee covers a set number of checks, letters or drafting hours at a lower price each.
What if I just need a quick answer?
Email us. If it’s a two line answer we’ll give it to you and there’s no fee. If it needs more, we’ll quote.
