Pricing you can plan around

We price two ways: packages and bespoke scopes. Both end in a fixed fee that you sign off on.

If your plan doesn’t fit a box, we’ll shape a bespoke bundle around your roadmap and timings. Only need one document right now? We’ll handle that as a standalone job.

Whichever route you take, you’ll get a clear scope and a fixed fee to approve before we start.

For bespoke work we estimate using standard rates (£275/hr) and then lock it as a fixed number. The fee doesn’t creep. Ever.

How we deliver

Discovery – A quick call to see what’s required and what can wait.

Scope – You get a written scope, a fixed fee, and a timeline you can plan around.

Draft & tidy – We produce the docs and finalise based on your feedback.

Handover – Clean documents delivered on time with no surprises.

Most teams arrive early. There’s a product, a name, maybe a promising MVP. Paperwork is the job everyone delays. We make it predictable.

You’ll know the order we’ll tackle things in, who signs what, and when it will be done.

We start with the dull but vital pieces: registers, PSC statements, filings. Then we lock in ownership. If you’ve used contractors, we’ll capture the IP so you actually own what you paid to build.

Founders’ agreements come with vesting and leaver rules that work in the real world.

Your site gets privacy and terms that reflect how you operate, not a borrowed template.

Communication stays light. Short emails. Direct answers.

If something’s overkill for your stage, we’ll say so. If plans change, we re-scope before we move.

Most work runs smoothly on video and email updates; London meetings are easy when you want them. The result: tidy records, documents that hold up, and a company that looks prepared when an investor or a key hire takes a serious look.

No. Packages are there when they fit. If they don’t, we scope a bespoke bundle around your plan and convert it into a single fixed fee before we begin. Same clarity, same predictability.

Yes. We’ll map exactly what you need now (e.g., founders’ agreement + term-sheet review + EMI setup), roll it into a single fixed fee, and stage delivery so you’re not paying for work you don’t need yet.

A short discovery call, then a written scope with a fixed fee and a timeline. Once you approve, we start – drafts land quickly, we iterate, and you get clean deliverables plus simple next steps.
