We bill entirely on a contingency basis. The exercise is therefore fully self-financing and does not need a budget in the way that most investment does.

Level of billing
Our fees are 50% of savings identified in the ‘relevant period'. In the vast majority of cases, the relevant period is the first year following delivery of results.

Timing
Half of this fee is payable on delivery of results; the balance is payable over the relevant period. In this way we spread the cost of our assignment - if any - over the period to which the cost reduction that we have identified relates.

Basis of savings
Our contract clearly defines savings. This prevents disagreement or confusion over billing.

We base our calculation of savings on actual expenditure in the last 12 months, adjusted to take into account any known factors not related to the assignment that would otherwise have affected that expenditure.

We support all invoices with detailed and clearly set-out calculations identifying the savings that we have generated. Most are empirically provable.

"Our expectation of genuine, sustainable savings has been met and I do not hesitate to recommend Nelson La Rochelle"
