Services and prices

Governance, planning, policies and HR help for small not-for-profits, community organisations and small businesses. “From” prices are the starting point: once we’ve seen your documents, you get a written quote, and that quote is the fee.

Plain Sense Check-Up

Not sure where to start? We read your constitution, policies, latest financials and an outline of who does what, meet for 60 to 90 minutes by Microsoft Teams, and give you a short Priority Plan: what to fix first, in what order, and roughly what it would cost.
