Finding the Right Balance                       

Working Arrangements

BDA provides flexible support depending on the needs of the client at any particular time. Our working relationship often begins with a fixed-price project and then evolves into on-going support tied to specific activities or objectives. Every relationship is custom-built.

Fixed Cost Projects

BDA can complete some activities on a fixed-cost basis.  In such cases, BDA and the client will discuss the specific needs of the client, agree the required outcome and then agree the project terms.  Examples of projects that can be completed on a fixed costs basis are:

•      Analyzing & developing options for business models & strategies

•      Business plans

•      Market and product analysis

 Service Agreements

Strategy implementation and partnering activities are often spread out over time and it is more difficult to predict the actual amount of time required for completion of key objectives.  These types of activities are more appropriately provided under a service agreement which defines the amount of time required by the client and the specific role played by BDA.  These agreements generally reimburse BDA for time expended, which may be fixed.    Examples of activities which are more appropriately organized under an on-going service agreement include:

•    Role of CEO or Business Development Director

•    Development and implementation of plans

•    Completing alliance and partnering agreements

•    Due Diligence

•    Financing activities

•    Management Advisor

 BDA will find a fee structure that best reflects your needs.
