Professional fees:

EIC’s fees are value for money and are a investment of our clients. EIC’s solutions focus on reality and practicality to enable enterprises to meet challenges. Business people should be the most calculative, Warren Buffett’s investment is focused on value whilst the highest value is people. Thus, the top of the top is those who know how to get the best out of people! The problem with businessmen is not that they have no capital, but that they do not know how to distinguish between investment and expenditure. When they needed funds to buy plant, equipment or raw materials, they would not hesitate to raise funds by any means. Their greatest miss is that they do not know that one can become a master only by learning from the master! Isn’t it a cost-effective investment to get inspiration and ideas instantly?

EIC sincerely works with enterprises to apply the holistic innovation solution which is scarce worldwide and solely in Asia of risk management background to deal with subversive market trends. Together we resolve adversity and seek development with innovative business model, platform and capital! Knowledge is power. So for enterprises facing the bottle neck, for right or wrong reasons, immediate absorption of essential ways and means from the right source is the most necessary, most worthy and most timely to do. Moreover, it is impossible for SMEs to hire high-end or overseas talents for CEO, so it is most affordable to hire them as consultants.

In fact, we have always been supporting SME innovation as the mission, so with a win-win attitude to favour our clients in our mutual benefit. The fees payable by our clients may be based on the mode of service, such as general consultation or participative consultation, corporate training and projects required. It can also be composed of basic fees combined with incentives and/or stock upon achieving pre-agreed objectives. At a time when enterprises are facing bottlenecks, it is urgent to break through and win. Afterall, consulting fees is only a very small proportion of the total operating capital or risk exposure of the enterprise, even a smaller portion of the revenue. Is it not wise to invest, without further delay?
