How it works?

Find a service that you need. Add to basket and checkout.

We will contact you and work on delivering your service.

Each service is under NDA and conducted by a professional aiming to complete the task to your satisfaction.

Before the professional undertakes the work, a discovery session will be arranged with you to get the finer details.

If you are unsure and wish to work traditionally, do a discover checkout, book a time and we will traditionally quote you. HINT: We will most likely point you to a service you need.

Our refunds policy makes this very low risk and we are dedicated to ensuring we get the task done.
We are fractional professionals
The contract and NDA is implied
The scope is built into the product
A discovery session captures the nuances
We get shit done

FAQ

  • If it was in error, simply apply for the refund.

    If it was a case of mistakenly buying the wrong service, we ask that you either wait for your refund, or purchase the correct service, and we will process the refund when you apply.

  • In basic language, you pay, we conduct the work to your satisfaction. However, we reserve the right to maintain fairness in this approach. For example, if you request a logo design service and we provide you with a logo, which you do not like, we may simply provide you with another. However, if you repeatedly reject the work and are never satisfied, then this suggests a deeper underlying issue. In this case, we will attempt to resolve this with you.

  • "Fractional" refers to hiring a senior-level executive, like a CTO or CMO, on a part-time basis. Instead of working full-time, they provide expertise and strategic guidance for a set number of hours or days per month. This allows businesses to access high-level skills and experience without the cost of a full-time salary.

  • People typically have lots of meetings, calculate estimates, provide quotes, costings and much more. We work on the basis, that we know what the foundation of the task entails, and we have the skills to quickly engage with what is required. Most of the time, most work can be done, without the need for a blow by blow account of it. Most estimates are wrong, people spend time doing things other than the work that actually needs to be done.

    Sometimes it takes longer to work out what it may or may not cost, than to just get the job done.

    Our services are not "open" ended services, they have a fixed time-frame. We can spend that time estimating if you want, or we can spend time calculating strategy, or working out priorities, or getting something done. If something requires estimation, we can help you, but it can be removed as an overhead on many straight forward tasks.

  • Clear and Fixed Pricing
    The price is known. The deliverable is known.

    On-Demand
    Book a session; no lengthy contracts or hidden fees. Use as you need.

    We find providers
    If we don’t have the capacity, we find someone to fulfil your task.

    No Recruiters
    We have a network. You don’t have to find and interview people or hire a recruiter.

    We take responsibility
    You have a need. Our providers are professionals. We can issue refunds.

  • Our reputation and professionalism would be severely affected if our aim was to deceive.

    It is imperative to our success, that we deliver the task to your satisfaction and benefit. It benefits us, that you are pleased with the work. If you dont trust us nor willing to try, there is also nothing that could be said here to change your mind.
    Trust works both ways and we have chosen to trust that you will not abuse the service and request refunds despite getting the work done.

  • We are professionals and get the job done as best as we can. If you expect perfection, want to get way more than you pay for, or want to control every aspect, then you are most likely not right for our services and won’t appreciate the process.

  • We want long term relationships by proving our short-term transactional services. The world works like this. Most businesses only want short-term cheap transactional services. But we hope, that once you are happy with our short-term services, that you will send us a message and discuss long-term opportunities.
