PAYMENT & PROJECT CHECKPOINTS

Clear progress.
Clear payment arrangements.

An enquiry is not a payment commitment. Before work starts, the proposal sets out the total fee, payment checkpoints and stage deliverables for both parties to agree.

01 / AGREEMENT

Agree before starting

Review scope, scheduling, payment arrangements and acceptance criteria before kickoff.

02 / CHECKPOINTS

Link payments to clear checkpoints

Instalment percentages, due dates and corresponding deliverables are confirmed in your proposal. This page is not a payment request.

03 / PAYMENT METHODS

Confirm payment methods with your quote

Accepted methods, currency, recipient details and applicable charges are confirmed with the formal quote. Do not enter banking passwords or card details in the enquiry form.
