Terms that let you start small.
One seat is enough
Most clients begin with a single professional and add seats individually as each process proves itself. There is no minimum team size.
Three months, then monthly
After an initial three-month term, the arrangement continues monthly on 30 days' notice, with no recruitment, exit or volume fees.
Continuity if someone leaves
Notice periods and documented workflows keep the work moving while we recruit a replacement.
