How is payment structured (upfront fee and monthly management fee)?
Payment structures vary by service type.
In general, consulting engagements use a single total payment, while managed services run on an upfront fee plus a monthly management fee.
Payment Structure
- Consulting (around 3 months): Total fee paid in full at contract signing. Installment over 2-3 payments can be arranged depending on project scope.
- Managed Services (around 6 months): Initial setup fee paid at kickoff, followed by monthly performance management fee settlements.
- Payment methods: Bank transfer with tax invoice is standard. Foreign entities can pay in USD.
Operating Principles
- Work logs are included with the monthly performance report.
- Scope changes are adjusted only after prior written agreement.
- If targets are missed, scope can be reset within the monthly settlement structure.
- KPI conditions are specified in the contract.
