An advisory firm should share, not transfer, the risk of the work it does. Three structures, one redemption clause, and the flexibility to move between them as your company matures.
Every model, the full rate card, and all four practices — one downloadable guide.
Billed by day or hour at expert-tier European rates. Right for clients with budget and a defined scope who want a clear commercial relationship from day one.
Legal Counsel (pass-through): €450/hr · Effective April 2026, Western European expert-tier benchmark.
Time & network → equity position → redeemable at profitability.
Velocity's team invests time, judgment, network and resources against an agreed equity position. The client covers hard build costs only — licences, tools, outsourced specialists.
Often the entry model for clients who graduate to Consulting or Invest-and-Build as the company matures.
"Redeemable only when the company reaches profitability sufficient to pay what is owed. Until then, no cash obligation for Velocity's time." — Working wording · verbatim clause pending from letter agreement
We put in team and build leadership; the client funds capital costs. Commercial return — cash, equity, performance fee, or a blend — is set at signature.
Clients move between models as the company matures. Each transition locks state in the letter agreement — no client is trapped by past work.
€10,000 delivered → final exit clause → settled, work transfers.
If a client brings in a different firm mid-engagement, delivered work becomes a payable settleable over a reasonable period. Both parties move on cleanly.
Initial conversations are 30 to 60 minutes and at no cost. A discussion of the problem, not a pitch deck.
