About Us
Your Business Success Is Our Mission
Working Relations
Upon learning about a specific project, Rick usually provides sample modeling pertaining to the investor’s needs at no charge. The prospect can then determine whether to go forward; sometimes this is all that is needed.
After the initial pro bono analysis, a cost quote is provided. Typically, the charge is determined by the project, not an hourly rate. He has also been known to work for equity. This is an arrangement that clients greatly appreciate, as Rick provides ongoing support for the business.
