An estimated project or consultation fee for the service you requested is then determined based on which consultant you requested or the specific area of expertise you need, plus the amount of time that it is expected to take to complete the tasks assigned to the consultant. We submit a proposal to you either by phone, fax, email or by regular mail, specifying the fee, estimated duration, hourly and overtime rates and other details. You are welcomed to ask any questions and we are obligated to answer those to the best of our abilities. Epicurus is the only consulting firm of its type to offer its clientele financing for the services we provide. Our generous financing terms allow you to finance a portion of our fees, interest free for up to one year.
Travel time is additional, depending on duration and distance.
