Research Biz offers at least two different options for partnering with our clients.
Fractional Virtual Staffing
Our fractional virtual staffing model is intended to be the same as “hiring” Research Biz for one-sixth, one-eighth, one-tenth, or one-twelfth of the full-time equivalent (FTE) of an experienced market research, knowledge management, and/or brand messaging professional’s time on duty. You don’t have to worry about healthcare benefits, payroll taxes, training, liability insurance, or other on-boarding costs. We immediately execute on a wide number of goals which are established at the beginning of the contract. Any activity that incurs additional out-of-pocket charges for Research Biz are billed at a pass-through rate, with a nominal 3% charge. The term of the contract can be three, six, or twelve months, with some discounts for the longer-term commitments. The default distribution of hours is to balance them monthly across the term, but the client may “overload” the hours by a factor of up to 3X during periods of peak need (however, this will reduce the remaining balance of hours on the contract.)
Custom Engagements
If you would like, Research Biz will provide a quote for a specific research, information, or branding initiative. Let’s talk about your needs and expectations, and we will deliver an accurate cost estimate and proposal. In the meantime, to give you an idea of where our typical pricing might land compared to larger competitors, we offer the following approximated comparisons.
