Alternative Fee Arrangements
At Kingsgate, we take an innovative and transparent approach to pricing. Our focus is always on aligning our services with your needs and priorities. While daily rates remain valid in certain scenarios, we prefer to work on alternative fee structures that provide better value for money and greater certainty over costs. We’ve outlined a range of flexible pricing options that may suit your requirements, and we’ll agree on the right structure with you at the outset of each new engagement. Above all, we are committed to ensuring that every fee arrangement is fair, proportionate, and clearly connected to the commercial goals and complexity of the work at hand. Our aim is simple: to provide real value, with no surprises.

Monthly fees
We work on a flat-fee agreed with you on a month by month basis with a month’s notice on each side. This model allows us to bring in appropriate skills for a fixed period, offering a balanced approach to risk and reward—ensuring predictability for you, while maintaining the flexibility needed to deliver the right outcome.
Fixed fee
Can be agreed according to type, subject to type of assignment or time period. Frequently adopted with our clients where the work to be conducted is to a closely defined scope.
Capped and collared fees
Defined fee ranges for specific engagements. This structure, includes an agreed cap-and-collar framework to manage expectations around scope and complexity.
Retainers
Flexible retainer arrangements across a range of service areas to support our clients’ ongoing needs under structured monthly retainers, where clients benefit from a defined scope of support or a set number of hours—delivered with consistency and cost efficiency.
These arrangements are designed to offer reassurance, responsiveness, and value—ensuring you have trusted support whenever you need it.
Success or bonus fees
We would see this covering two distinct types of fee approaches:
1) A contingent-based fee, dependent on the success or otherwise of the engagement.
2) Performance-based fee, which is dependent upon how well we have met previously agreed performance criteria.
‘Sharing of savings’
We’ve developed an innovative “shared savings” fee model, designed to align our success with yours. This approach links fees to the value we help unlock..
To ensure continued value and fairness, we incorporate built-in adjustment mechanisms and risk-sharing provisions. This structure reinforces our commitment to partnership, transparency, and delivering measurable results - ensuring you receive lasting benefit from every pound invested.
Case Studies
An energetic and empathetic approach

You’ll find our enthusiasm to effect change refreshing. It’s our passion – and we’ll be with you, working hard to turn things round, only for as long as we’re adding value. During that time our flexible team will be honest and upfront, with proposals that may sound hard or unpopular but that we know will have long-lasting, even permanent, success.
